• Hi friends! I hope you are having a great Thursday! @poppystudioks came and hung out with us Monday night and I have a pretty new updated picture gallery of my favorite boys πŸ’™πŸ’™ A little bit about me for some of my newer followers. I am a farmers daughter married to a farmer boy and now we are raising up our own farmer boys. πŸ’™πŸ’™ I grew up with 4 sisters and now we all have boys and my dad thinks it’s great that we all have boys and he had 5 girls 🀣🀣 I lost my mom to lung cancer in April of 2011. She’s a big part of my β€œwhy” I do what I do. My favorite photographs are the ones with her in them. She always loved coming to my house because there were so many framed pictures with her in them. Cancer was the worst and best thing that happened to me. It stole my mama before I was married and had children of my own. There are days when the house is a wreck and laundry is piled so high I just want my mom. You can relate I am sure. When my first son my was born I ached for her. I felt like I got jipped in a lot of ways. But, God showed up in my story. @celeste_guido showed up one evening at @jonathansgrille and she took my hand, and walked me into the light of what really mattered. And together we faced the season of losing our moms to cancer together. Braver, stronger, and together we have carried through these past 10 years and I am forever grateful for our paths connecting. I got lost in my thoughts but here I am now on the other side of cancer. A decade later with so much Joy in my heart. I have two wonderful sons, @lifeasjackandeli , and they love my mama and love talking about her, always asking God in our prayers to give her our love. I am incredibly grateful for my friends who have weathered me during these seasons of my life and as I journey to become the best that I am and have been created to be. Cancer has brought equally the amount of joy as it stole from me. I love my simple life and the people in it. And I look forward to meeting a lot of new clients in my up coming minis and remaining fall sessions. It’s a wonderful life friends, I am so glad I get to journey through it with you! A huge shout out to Lacy @poppystudioks for πŸ“Έ

  • Y’all. We had family pictures with the talented @poppystudioks the boys are already telling me their favorites they want printed for β€œtheir wall.” My kids literally sing and talk to their pictures. I haven’t had pictures printed since 2018 because last year I had hoods on their jackets and it was a chilly November evening and they insisted on wearing them. But we choo-choo’d ran around mom and dad and played down by the river pretending the sun was shining. This is my favorite season y’all. My kids say the craziest things with those precious toddler voices and I just wish I could have this time back. But that’s why we get dressed up. Wear the new clothes (most of ours came from good will thanks to Eli’s love for pink) but it’s so much fun to play and snuggle and dance. My heart is full as we head into this Tuesday! These two love birds were my wedding DJ and I love that we have stayed so close. They are the best!

  • β€œAnd to say gracious words is brave. To speak life into someone else takes courage. Whether you are correcting in love, standing up for the voiceless, praying for the sick, or praising and loving others, your words are changing the atmosphere. Don't be afraid. Be brave. Say the things that will speak truth and heal. Hold your tongue in anger or fearβ€”those are the times when a coward speaks. But when the moment comes to say the gracious thing that will mark a heart forever? Say it. Speak love, and watch as beautiful things come to life.” @anniefdowns This is my beautiful friend Jenny who runs @special_k9_dog_training The year I turned 38 (thirty-great) she bought me a birthday drink at @thebarn.burrton and we became super duper 3 am kind of friends. We’ve been there for each other in the hard times, the good times, and lots of birthday parties and lunches after church just because. Our kids love each other and it’s so fun having mom friends who can walk in when your house is a total wreck and know that they aren’t silently judging you. Our lives are often messy but our friendship isn’t. I love Jenny and your friendship is a blessing!!! I love you like a sister!!

  • Hi friends! I could win an award for the most inconsistent social media account! I would be so much better at insta if I knew a secret way to do from my computer because a child usually has my phone..... I hate corona. I hate it a lot. But it awakened a part of me that was like a little kid, afraid of the dark. And scared to be in the light. I am overly grateful for @doctormomem not because she got me down so many pounds. But because she cares. She hears our mama cries and she’s quick to talk out our problems. I had the best session with these two and a little Clay Walker dance party too! We spent the evening chasing the setting sun and capturing their love. Thinking of you Tammy & Jack πŸ₯°β€οΈπŸ™πŸ»πŸ₯°β€οΈπŸ™πŸ» thanks for coming out to my farm!!!! If you need eyelashes ladies, go see the girls at @thevillageplacearlington they are the best

  • It’s Monday. My heart woke up so excited to work this morning..... at 3:45 am..... Trying to stay on top of editing. If you are friends with a photographer, take them a coffee just because. Add an extra shot of espresso too. I love it when clients turn into friends. @kristy_scott11 is a doll and I left our session feeling like we were old pals. Give me all the country boys πŸ’™πŸ’™ Happy Monday y’all β€οΈπŸ™πŸ»

  • It’s Saturday. My kids want to go to @prairieland_jd and pick out tractors they want for Christmas! Then go play at the Butterfly park. They are at such fun ages right now and I can’t wait to show them all their memories in their @chatbooks. If you follow our personal account, @lifeasjackandeli , you know they each have their own # and each time I reach 60 images. Magically a book ships to me. It’s like their personal diary and I don’t even have to think much about it, besides actually remembering to post the pictures πŸ€ͺ #lifeasjackeddie #lifeaselicraig The sky was full of smoke from wildfires far far away Thursday night but that didn’t stop us from dancing and running around my farm! My boys really wanted to come to this session (hello, pretty girls!)... but let’s be real, that would have been major disaster! Happy Saturday. I put some clothing ideas / colors in my stories. Message me if your having a hard time with outfits. Your outfits matter! I can’t wait to tell your story this fall. Chase Joy today, friends!
