A Letter to My Husband

My Dear Brett,

Words cannot express how thankful I am for you. I am always pretty thankful for you although I may not show you enough. Perhaps this post was inspired because we spent the longest amount of time apart in our almost two years of marriage this past weekend. The longest time being two nights. Wow. I know that is a bit ridiculous when you think about how many couples have to spend weeks and months apart. However, I will not apologize for feeling sad and having just a slight bit of anxiety when leaving you Friday.

I am thankful. I am thankful that we have not had to be apart and that I have been able to go to sleep right by your side almost every single night for the past two years. I am thankful for how hard you work and how you encourage me. I am thankful that you can make me laugh like no one else. I am thankful that you critique me. I am thankful that you push me towards Christ and encourage me in my walk with Him. I am thankful that you play with my hair each night as I fall asleep.

But mostly, I am thankful for our marriage. I am so honored to be your wife. I am glad that God designed us to be together. What a privilege. Please know how much I love you and trust you.

You are my favorite person! :) Thank you for walking beside me each day and loving me well.

All My Love,

              Your Wife

Marikate and Michael (married)

Back in June, I had the privilege to second shoot for a wedding with the fabulous, Alana Damron. Marikate has been a friend of mine for years and I was so thankful she asked me to help! It was such a beautiful, southern wedding for such a sweet couple!

So so beautiful!!

Sweetest thing ever! :)

They were so so happy! Thank you again Marikate for allowing me to help capture your special day! It was incredibly beautiful and such a perfect day!

It's Fall!

Hello! Hello! It has been too long....as usual. We have moved out of September and are halfway through October? What? Life has been so busy. Isn't that what I say every single time? Yes. Between school and photography and life in general I cannot keep up. Sometimes life just needs to be lived and not written about. However, I do enjoy this little space and would like to be a more frequent visitor to my own site! :)

In the last months we have been busy with work, family visits, a little traveling, and much more. I'll hit the high points. One of the most exciting things was at the end of September we found out that the next little Jacobs baby will be a boy! We are so excited that we are getting a baby boy to love on!  Hurry up February!

Brett and I have enjoyed the fall so much. While we know that during the last two football seasons, we were in the center of God's will, it has been so nice having my husband home each afternoon and on Friday nights! What a blessing!

As far as photography, things are so busy. I am very thankful but it certainly is tough to balance it all! I definitely want to share more of my recent shoots! I am so happy that people allow me the privilege to capture their memories and I want to share those in this space soon! I am also the proud owner of a brand new camera! Ah....I did my first shoot with this baby this past weekend and  am looking forward to several more shoots this week! :)

Brett and I also did some location scouting and tested it out to get some shots of me for something I am working on. As you can see I was only slightly awkward being in front of the camera! :)

I love my husband!

I'll leave you with a lovely "fallish" picture of sweet Lucy at the pumpkin patch! Why oh why does it not feel like fall outside? Praying for cooler temperatures to make their way to us soon!!

Happy Monday! Looking forward to a short work week at school! :)
