Are we ready to book those fall photos yet??

My fall calendar has been updated on my booking site, or for those of you that love Venmo like me, feel free to message to secure your date.

You will notice options to book at my farm (save some dough by coming to me!) or we can head to a different location, I'm still making house calls! Be careful when selecting your session type because of this. I am also offering some Saturday morning sessions this year!

Feel free to message me with any questions!

Some of these moments just really needed to be captured in video. Bring me all the babies!

I am a people watcher. No in a weird way, I’m just an observer. I like to see how people interact with one another. Are they kind, are they helpers, does their face light up when they see someone special?

During their session, I couldn’t help but notice the interactions between this family. The way Gratt and Brittney kept glancing over at one another and they’d smile or laugh together. The kids kept looking up at them with big smiles full of admiration. The girls shared many side glances with each other, and I couldn’t help but think about my sister and the glances we give. And the way they take such good care of their little brother, always looking after him and guiding him.

Since it’s my anniversary today, I was thinking about the importance of who you choose as a spouse. Make sure they are someone you can laugh with and truly enjoy life beside. Make sure they are someone you want your children to look to as an example of how to be: to others, to their spouse, to their children. Will they guide your future family down the right path, or astray? Will they be a teacher and a helper? The list goes on. But just don’t settle.

And I highly suggest marrying someone that is or will be your best friend. My husband is the person I tell everything to, that I can’t wait to talk to and see, and that I just want to experience all the things in life with. He’s my bestie now and I’m not sure I could imagine having our marriage any other way!

I love first looks with dads! When I met Randa’s dad, I knew I was really going to love their first look. Watching the way he reacted to seeing her, then the love and pride he had while watching her with her little guy… it was precious! To your daddy, you’ll always be their little girl.

I completely understand waiting until the aisle to see your groom, but giving dads that special moment to see their little girl is so worth the few minutes in the schedule.

Zoom in on the guy on the left in this photo. While the bride was walking down the aisle, he was watching me. When I was culling this wedding, this photo stopped me for a good few minutes. That smile on his face just made my eyes start to leak a little.

The man officiating this wedding just so happens to be my dad’s brother. My uncle.

I’m not sure what thoughts were going through his mind during this moment, besides being nervous. But he looks so happy, as he usually does. I’ve wondered who he was looking at. Little kid Jessica that was always at his house playing or swimming in the creek? Teenage Jessica sitting in his living room for youth group? Young adult Jessica still trying to figure life out? Late 20’s Jessica walking down the aisle herself to the love of her life? The Jessica holding her first baby? Or gray haired Jessica that doesn’t come around near as often as she should?

Probably a mixture. He’s been there for it all. And I was so happy to see him walk through the door for this wedding. It was so fun looking over to see him, and getting to chat with him some.

Oh the laughs that always come with this sweet family!

I’ve known Gratt forever so it’s always so good to catch up with them. And Brittney and the kids are the sweetest ever. She provides so many laughs and I love watching how she mamas.
I am always so excited when they book, for so many reasons. Last night Gratt mentioned his cheeks hurt from smiling so much, mission accomplished

Congratulations to the Marler's!

Their day was filled with laughter, dancing and so much love! Getting to work weddings is such fun. All the details that have been thought of and planned out. Everyone coming together to celebrate the new family. There is just so much joy on wedding days!

My daughter hopped in the car after school one day, and told me I HAD to set up photos for her teacher. HAD TO! I tried explaining to her that I didn’t force myself upon people to be their photographer and that her teacher would reach out if she wanted me to take their photos. (But trust me, I was really hoping she’d reach out! She’s the sweetest person ever!)

Well my daughter wouldn’t stop checking to see if I had scheduled her photos. “I just don’t want her to miss out on your pretty photos if you’re too busy!!” Oh sweet girl!! That was an ego boost!

Anywho, her teacher reached out. And we all celebrated! The weather was beautiful, and the laughs never stopped. They make it look really fun to have teenagers. And I’m going to be really sad when I’m finished editing their beautiful gallery!

Ohhhhhhh, they brought the laughter!
I first met Leslie at her daughters senior session is 2024. They were on vacation from Texas, and wanted some senior photos while at one of their favorite spots. I remember laughing so much with them. They are just naturally funny and fun to be around!
So when she reached out this summer, it was an immediate yes to a session with her extended family! And let me tell you, it was another fun time for sure.

It was so sweet of them to invite me to their vacation spot for a little bit. I hope they will always cherish these images from their trip with some of their favorite people!
