In case you might want to know who you’re dealing with here...
well, hello there!
My name is Barbara Neely. But, you can just call me Barb or Barbie. I’m a portrait photographer serving Springfield Missouri, Northwest Arkansas, and all of Southwest Missouri. I’m also a graphic designer and illustrator serving clients all over the United States. I’m also a mom, a wife, a dog lover, an outdoor enthusiast, and lover of old houses and architecture.
I’m a mom, too.
Trust me, I get it!
As a mom of three boys, I understand how fast time flies. In 2020 I saw two of my boys graduate! One from college, one from high school. This life is full of firsts, lasts, laughs, and even a few tears. I understand how important it is to hit pause and appreciate each moment.
I also understand how hard it is to talk some kids (*cough, boys!) into cooperating for a good picture! As a professional photographer with a decade of experience, I've learned a thing or two about how to get everyone past their nerves and excited for pictures. Don't worry, we'll have fun getting the shot you want.
“Barbara has worked for me on numerous projects. She has an excellent work ethic, meets deadlines and follows direction well. And most importantly provides exceptional creative results. I would highly recommend her for graphic design. ”
“I absolutely love everything you did to make my pictures and experience the best ever! I would pick you a million times again! I will cherish them forever!”
