Styled shoot for Elite Duck Calls

Over the summer, I collaborated with one of my clients, Elite Duck Calls, on a styled photo shoot for an upcoming magazine ad. My client had already had an idea and concept in mind so we worked together to make it happen.

The client procured real duck feathers, mallard eggs, his gorgeous Black Cherry Cache call and dried nesting material. We went through several variations of this photo: moving the eggs and the broken egg shells back and forth, adjusting the feathers to achieve the look he wanted, etc.

The result is a clean, eye-catching photo he could use for his advertising.

So for all you avid duck hunters, now is the time to take stock of your duck hunting gear and supplies!

We love grandparents

Grandmother Elizabeth and Ian Pratt

Grandmother Elizabeth and Ian Pratt

How cute is this face?

Seriously! Baby Ian is just too darn cute for words.

In this month's issue of Little Rock Family Magazine, we meet the Pratt Family. The Pratt's are multi-generational family whose heritage is traced back to Sierra Leone.

Adama Pratt explains:

“My family was from a more traditional culture, a lot more primitive. We were traditionally not as educated and were sassy, feisty. Cedric’s family was from the more westernized culture who were originally slaves from England. They were very private.”

I photographed the Pratt family in their Little Rock for this issue of LR Family. With three boys, they have their hands full. That's where grandmother Elizabeth comes in.
