The Strickland Family

Have I mentioned lately how much I love to take pictures? Oh how much fun this large family was, especially Mr. Strickland the head of this wonderful family. Mr. Strickland is a farmer, who absolutely loves what he does. He was like a little kid on Christmas morning during this photo shoot. He kept saying, “I’ve wanted to have my family’s picture taken in this field for years. I’m so excited we were able to do this.” His love for his family, the land, the animals are so precious. I overheard part of a conversation he was having with one of his granddaughters after he let the cows out to the pasture. Before he let them in the field to graze they were mooing so loudly, then it became so quiet when they began to graze. He knelt down to one of his granddaughter and said something like this, “There’s a passage in the Bible that says, ‘He makes me lie down in green pastures’ do you see how happy and content the cows are now, God wants us to like this.” He took such joy from the simple things in life, what a life lesson for all of us.

Baby Rowan

Newborn Rowan, her mother, grandmother, and her great-aunt came and spent a Sunday afternoon with me. My sweet husband made the little bed for me from a old barn wood. I was so excited to meet little miss Rowan, and to let her be the first to try out the little bed made for a sweet princess like her.

The Grigsby Family

Another great Saturday morning shoot. Stetson came with his mom and dad to have some family pictures taken. We had a blast exploring all the fun areas around the barn and my house. Stetson and his pal, Monkey, in the wagon just melts my heart. I love my job. I can hardly wait to meet the newest edition to the family, Fisher.
