It is so crazy to me every time I go down the rabbit hole of looking through old photos. It quickly makes you realize just how fast life is buzzing by. I mean, wasn't it just yesterday my daughter still had baby rolls on her legs? When did my son stop looking like a baby? When did I start looking so much like my mother?? (Which is totally fine. She was a beautiful lady!) But seriously, what was I doing when all this time was flying by without me even realizing it?
Anyways, the thing I always go to when I miss my mama or friends I have lost, is photos. When the memories get cloudy, a photo does its job and brings them back clearly. I am immediately taken right back to the moment. My husband might think it is silly that I always have my camera ready, but he isn't too shy to ask for the photos I took either. We all know how important they are.
I used to be an elementary school teacher, but I felt so torn because my true love was my family and photography. My biggest dream has been to stay home with our babies while they are little. This job has allowed that to happen, and we work our tails off making sure everything is taken care of on the farm so I can focus on our family and this beautiful job I have. Raising our babies and making sure they are so well taken care of brought us back to the farm in Ozark County. We all love it here and living with lots of space to roam has been amazing for the kids. Our son is on Cloud 9 getting to be around all the animals and tractors everyday and our daughter loves getting to explore and play all over outside.
I love getting to bring you guys out here, when you are able to. It is such an added bonus getting to shoot with our beautiful rolling hills sunsets. It is truly so breathtaking.
