Joy of Motherhood!

By Cory Jackson

It's truly a small world we live in and it's always nice when something or someone crosses your path that you thought was a world away. I'm from the Texas Panhandle (land of dust storms and tumbleweeds) and consider myself one of I'm sure few people who think they had a pretty good high school experience. I always find it great to find old crony's from the Rebel vault on Facebook and reconnect. All that to be said..I found Sophie on FB a while back and realized we were living in the same town, but never caught up. Shame on us! Well when she was coming close to having her precious baby boy, Parker, she asked if I would shoot her maternity pictures.

It was great to catch up and hear how her and Dan (both hometown kid's) have been living the dream life and just loving each other every day! They are super cute together and Dan is by far one of the funniest people I know. Always has been.

Enjoy these images of Sophie and Dan a few weeks before the big day!

Full Circle

By Cory Jackson

For any photographer's who worry about where their next client is coming from I share this story for you. I'm learning in my short time doing this that it isn't 100% dependant on where you place your online ad's or how many samples you leave with other wedding vendors. If we are focused on building relationships and caring about our work as a passion the clients will come full circle.

I met Jessica as a favor to a friend who needed his employees to get updated head shots for their marketing materials. She came in with a beautiful smile and awesome attitude and we just clicked. She later asked if I would do a portrait of her and her sister for a holiday gift to their parents. She brought along her boyfriend Josh who had just gotten back from serving our country overseas and we spent an afternoon just hanging out and taking these great pictures below.

Soon after the holiday's I met Jessica to give her these images and she let me know that Josh had proposed to her. With what seemed like no hesitation she asked if I would be her photographer and I was honored to say yes. I never would have imagined meeting someone one day and foreseeing I would have the opportunity to follow them through several special moments and capture it doing something I love to do. But that's what this is all about for me...making lasting relationships that allow me to document history with my artistic flair (and yes I used the word flair).

Big thanks to Jessica and Josh for letting me follow my passion.
