Our Favorite Villes: A Photo Series About Northwest Arkansas
Morning, y’all! Today on Our Favorite Villes, we’re doing something I probably should have done first: telling y’all all about this photo series! Because the heart of Our Favorite Villes? It’s all about sharing the love we have for Northwest Arkansas in a celebration of a photo series. I’m currently seven or eight shoots into this project and am just having a freaking blast photographing and getting to know so many amazing people in our area.
Also, no. I’ll never consider myself a professional podcaster. I’ve just found that, with life with three kids, it’s a lot easier for me to record podcasts than write. And these interviews? I’m literally obsessed with them + the ones for Your Photographer Mom, too! I don’t know if it’s being in my late thirties but, the past few months, I’ve just been so focused on creating more community in the areas I love the most. And those areas? They’re photography and Northwest Arkansas, too!
But! I digress! Let’s talk about Our Favorite Villes!

Want to know this episode in one quote? You know I’ve always got you! It’s one thing to love a bakery. It’s another to have a great experience at a bakery you love. And it’s a totally other thing – totally other thing! – to realize that the cupcakes you love at your favorite bakery evolved from that baker’s grandma’s recipe. And if you know more about that baker… it just like makes that context bigger and bigger for why that baker loves baking cupcakes. I know that’s a lot of info about a cupcake but… it’s never just a cupcake.”
Whew! Cannot wait to share this episode with you! And for photos? Here’s a few photos of some cutie film cameras.
