ELOPEMENT | WEDDING | PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER covering Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Pennsylvania. www.lemastreetphotography.com Nah....then Enlil, after our LLC.
Located in the beautiful Ozarks, we have been doing photography forever but formally started a professional business in 2011. We travel for weddings, engagements and elopements as well as of course in our local area. An animal lover and sometimes people (just kidding) we LOVE people! Our philosophy, easy, get to know your client. We take the time to get to know you so that we can photograph your m
oments. No two people are the same nor would we photograph you that way (think Olan Mills Studio). We will have many discussions, check lists, and coffee before your session. We will become BFF's before it is all said and done. Our mission, to provide you the best possible experience and deliver the best possible images that represent YOU! A late bloomer in life for the stereotypical nuclear family. I had my daughter very young, so my education was on hold. But what I could afford to do was take photos. I was always the one with a camera. Later I earned my Bachelor's degree in HR Management due to my love of working with people and then deciding to understand the business side, an MBA. On the side I was always asked to take photos for friends, then families, the friends of friends, you get the picture (no pun intended). I found my love for photography was becoming more full time than part time. I begin to buy more gear and was then being hired for more sessions. I decided to use my business acumen and my talent for photography and people and start a business. What to name it, I was having an identity crisis with naming my business. Our business lawyer said to not use my name as is trendy today. So I thought Dandiflower after a name my grandson came up. Nah....but then in hit me as I wake up every morning in the Garden of Eden, my happy place, my home, at 7 Lema Street and there Lema Street Photography was born. I have taken several classes and mentored by some of the best photographers out there. I have an understanding of people, emotions and the delivery of the end product - your images.
Simply put, I love people and I love photography. I am a sucker for a great love story, I love a family story, I love any story! What I love most is being able to capture your story. I live to capture the moment through my lens. This is where I come alive. To share the mood, the emotion a photo can evoke so that your memories are with you always. It is not unusual to see me walking the streets getting a feel of the essence of the city or the vibe of the people. In fact, very rarely will you find me without a camera. I drive my family crazy!
________________________________________
I am married to wonderful man who truly is my soul mate. We live between Wichita, KS and Eureka Springs, AR nestled in a hollow and surrounded by the tall pines found in NW Arkansas. It is an inspiration and where my creativity flows. I share a studio with my husband who does woodworking and plays music. I have extreme wanderlust, I have traveled much of the world and I am grateful for these adventures. As a photographer, I am always trying to learn, adapt, grow and be inspired. I document our weddings, portraits, and tidbits of my life's adventures and misadventures, isn’t this the most amazing job ever? I love meeting strangers and hearing their stories. I will walk up to anyone with a camera to see if there is something more I can learn. I was the family member always sticking a camera in your face saying "CHEESE"! Really, just ask them! This is how I share the stories. I do not have a specific genre of photography; it comes when I you behind the lens, this becomes my inspiration, this becomes your story.

Lema Street is proud to announce we will be the official photographer for this year's “en plein air,” or Plein Air of Eureka Springs Open.
I have always admired painters/artists (at any level) that puts themselves out there. My step-grandmother introduced me to the arts, she was a painter that dabbled in oils, acrylics, charcoals and pastels. My great uncle, Alfred Barr, Jr. was an American art historian and the first director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. From that position, he was one of the most influential forces in the development of popular attitudes toward modern art. Art runs through me, kind of like a bohemian dance.
I am looking forward to capturing the Plein Air painters, working outside their studio and capturing the landscapes of Eureka Springs.
I find artists intriguing and a bit eclectic (probably an understatement) and they will be coming to our quaint quirky town. I will be photographing them as I admire their brush strokes, how they see light or a scene, composing their painting just so. There is a definite connection between painting and photography. As a photographer, I follow the same concepts. Composing a scene, looking at the light, how to create what is in my head with the output of an image. I am beyond excited!
Join us from May 10 - 14. Plein Air Open

“Children see magic because they look for it.”
— Christopher Moore This quote is so indicative of this wedding. These 5 children of this couple so the magic in the wedding of the parents. The parents were awesome in that the children were every bit a part of this wedding. Congratulations to Devon and Emily and your beautiful clan of five!

When there is a a serendipitous encounter discovered by chance sometimes you just go with it. While in Key Largo there was girl's weekend celebrating a 40th birthday. We were all hanging out at the pier of our lodging enjoying the evening. I was actully photographing pelicans, but could not resist watching these girls have fun and asked if I could photograph them. The sun was setting quickly but here are some of the shots. Happy birthday Bertha Fernandez, 40 never looked so good!

They met at a house soirèe, they connected at once, laughing at each other’s silly jokes that no one else in the room got. In fact it almost seemed like they were the only two in the room focused on each other. She’s an opera singer so it only seemed fitting that one of their engagement shots be on the stage. Congratulations to Connor and Ale as they prepare their vows to each other next July. Here’s to corny jokes, lots of love, and a new life together.

This couple was adorable, fun and loving. They have been together 10 years and are now official. This evening was perfect for this elopement. I love how they are reflected in the window of this amazing chapel.

Because real unicorns have curves. Embrace yourself and your curves! I can’t tell you how many times I have a client ask me (and most times joking) to be sure I photoshop their curves, or wrinkles, or whiten their teeth, etc. mNy response is always, you are already so beautiful! After spending time with my clients, I get to know them. I also see them through my lens and can see if they are nervous or uncomfortable. I want my clients to not only look beautiful by posing them in a flattering light but telling them as well. Posing is critical! Even top models can look unflattering if not posed correctly. It is important that a photographer understands this. In the meantime for the client, embrace yourself! Life is too short, love being you! Let me as your photographer do the rest. #embraceyourself #curvygirl #beautiful #beautifulself #flawed #posing #posingforthecamera #lemastreetphotography
