Check out Reagan Moffitt in our latest ad in Inviting Arkansas magazine. Reagan never stopped smiling throughout our entire shoot, and it was quite contagious. Because of her, the photographs are guaranteed to make you smile — or in this case laugh.
From Shannon in an email to Jenn:
“I can’t thank you and Bob enough for working with us so quickly on this. We love the outcome of both the photo shoot and the Save the Date cards more than we could have imagined. You two are brilliant.”

Lauren Smith and Scott Hengens had a beautiful, small ceremony at the Houmas House for just their family. Even though it was raining, we had a great time!
“Thank you so much for the time and energy you gave to me and Scott on Saturday,” says the bride. “You were unbelievable. You didn’t let the rain stop you, and you kept such a positive attitude! I have had so many people tell me what a great job you did and what a wonderful person you were to work with. I am so excited to see the pictures because I know they are going to be beautiful. I cannot thank you enough.”
Leger’s Catering provided the food for OP Baton Rouge’s opening event in September 2008, and we are so happy to be working with them again! These photos will be used to help them launch their new website.
It was hard to only look at the food while it was being photographed, but we were able to sample everything at the end of the night — and it was well worth the wait!
Competitive Cyclist is one of Bob’s favorite bicycle stores. It’s a 25,000 sf. space full of very fine bikes to ride. Located in North Little Rock, Arkansas, it’s a biker’s dream home. Photo by Bob Ocken
Jenn is super excited to have finally gotten some great shots of Baton Rouge’s own blues man Henry Gray! She had to go all the way to the Rhythm Room in Phoenix, AZ, but you won’t hear her complaining. The weather for the Phoenix Blues Blast Festival was great and music was in the air. Thanks to the Phoenix Blues Society for their wonderful hospitality!
