I love this family! If you haven’t noticed, we have the same last name! My husband and Kyle are cousins, so through marriage, we are cousins!! Chaela and I are both photographers and she also is our Hair and Makeup artist here at Joyful Memories Photography!  Every year we take pictures of each other to […]

I met Rebecca a year or so ago, because she also is a local photographer.  We met up one day and I felt like we clicked.  She is so sweet and caring with a big heart!  She also announced she was pregnant when I was pregnant and we were due just 2 days apart. We […]

I had photographed Tamilyn before in a Halloween session.  She came to me and said she wanted me to do her pictures since those pictures are what helped John reach out to her.  They are engaged and madly in love and I love it!!! Originally we were going to do an Engagement land session and […]

I have known Ngozi for a decade or two.  She went to the school that I worked at and also graduated at.  Ngozi’s birthday is the day before Halloween and so we did a dark photo session.  One thing that I love about Ngozi is that she is her own self! She doesn’t care what […]

Jessie knew she wanted to have a sexy Halloween session and she came and conquered it!  I actually have spoken to Jessie over the phone for years and never got to meet her and finally did that night!  We talked about work and about life, but most importantly we took photos of her and I […]

We did a best friends session and it was so much fun!!! We had an obstacle of a bright sun and it being very windy, but we did it!!  Taylor & Kim came prepared with looking beautiful and ready to have some fun!  They brought their favorite drink and hung out laughing and being them […]

I have known Lindsi all the way back from High School in our small private school.  I haven’t seen her since about 2007 and it was so good to see her and meet her husband!  This session came perfectly around her husband’s birthday and also their theme for their wedding was Skeletons.  We got to […]

This little family was so much fun to photograph! The little girls stole my heart and also stole the show! They were so smiley and happy in the pictures and I couldn’t ask for more! I wish the trees would turn faster and usually they are around this time, but for some reason, they are […]

Most people who follow me know that we had our Ethan on August 12th at 23weeks and 4 days.  He fought hard for 9 days and a bacterial infection got him and his life reduced quickly and he went home to be with the Lord on August 21st. I knew that October was Infant Loss […]

I always wanted to do this spooky sexy session, but it’s so hard to find a place in the flat land of Texas with Mesquite trees everywhere, but I found a spot and it was perfect!  These ladies came to the session looking perfect for this session and they were all naturals.  We weren’t sure […]
