My Life

    I have been so scared to blog about "myself" on my blog (duh.... I know that sounds crazy, because it is my blog and all...ha ha)  I was afraid that it wouldn't look "Professional" and in reality I want my clients to know me on a deeper level other than "the lady with the camera" ha ha. I am human too, and I honestly want to put everything on the table and I want my clients to feel comfortable around me....especially during our session. I am such a talker the day of the session, because I want my clients to feel like I am just one of their friends taking their pictures.  I have been so blessed that normally after every session I become great friends with my clients, and it's pretty dang awesome!! I truly believe I have the best and most supportive clients ever. 
  
   Over the past several months my personal life has had so many changes, and thankfully everyone has  been so understanding. It has been probably one of the biggest challenges of my life to go through this divorce, but I know GOD has huge plans for my kids and I, and this business is just a major bonus. I am able to witness LOVE everyday....whether I am shooting a couple that is completely smitten over each other during an Engagement Session, a beautiful couple who are about to say " I DO" at their Wedding, or during a Family Session when the family is so happy & perfect they are like the Brady Bunch.  Love is everywhere and I refuse to be bitter or angry, and though my life isn't going as I planned....it just means that I really need to embrace the Love & Beauty that I do have around  me ....which is GOD, My three amazing children, my family and friends, and my amazing clients.

     I debated on posting this .....ummmm just about all week long, but ya know- I am who I am, and I am proud of me. XoXoXoXo.....and that a whole -lotta- love!!
      
I chose this shot for this blog post, because these three kiddos are what keep me going each day. I am only looking towards the future, and its going to be awesome!

Brody, Lexi, and Colton- You three are my world!

Happy Valentine's Day

 Today I thought would try and attempt to do a session with all three of my kids for a Valentines Day, and well it was unsuccessful. My kids all looked so cute, and I had all these cute hearts that I had big plans for : ( but when my 2 & 3 year old need a nap....they need a nap!! They get super grumpy & mommy almost had a meltdown herself....lol! So they decided to watch a movie while their big sister had a mini photoshoot... ha ha.

Lexi..she is such a smart, brave, sassy, and beautiful girl.

Pure Chaos!

  Ok.... I am so sorry that  I have neglected my blog ; ( things have been just so crazy lately. I promise, I will get so much better! Take a good look at these sweet faces...they are my world!!

Lexi....she is a spitting image of me as a child- and yes she has my attitude too. Ha

Colton...he is getting so BIG...he is so into sports right now- Watch out David Beckham!!

Brody....his eyes just melt my heart.

God blessed me with three beautiful children and I am so proud to be their mother. Brody, Lexi, and Colton.... I love all three of you so much, you are my world!

“Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.”

 Today is one of those days when life seems complicated. Today,  I choose to get out of bed, and wake up smiling because I have so much to be thankful for. I have an amazing life filled with a God who loves me, three gorgeous children who make me laugh and smile daily, and tons of family and friends who I couldn't live without. On days like today when my heart is hurting.... I turn to people and things that make me smile. Thank the Lord above for giving me the guidance to do so. Have a blessed day everyone!! xoxoxox Jennette!

My baby is 2

 Brody....my sweet Brody. He is the baby out of my three kiddos. He is the most relaxed, and the only one who sleeps through the night. Ha ha. It took me having three kids to get one to sleep. Ha. He is so sweet, and I love that he sucks his thumb and carries his bear around everywhere he goes. He always has this sweet smile on his face, and he is just so stinkin cute! He has the biggest baby blue eyes with long eyelashes- watch out girls...he is going to be a heartbreaker! Don't be mistaken by his sweet face, he can hold his own, when it comes to his big brother wanting to pick on him. HA. God is so amazing, and I am so thankful for Brody, and my other two kiddos. Happy 2nd Birthday to my Bro Bro! Love you son!

Brody

My 3!

 My three children are my world.  Being a mother is the most amazing gift that God has ever blessed me with.  In the past few weeks they have made me realize how important it is to live each day to the fullest, and be HAPPY no matter what! Lexi, Colton, and Brody....you are my sunshine each and everyday- thank you for waking me up with a hug, kiss, and some mornings- a grumpy attitude. I love you three, and I wouldn't change your wild, loud, energetic, bossy personalities for anything. Thank you for making me smile! Mommy loves you ; )

I wasn't for sure if I would be able to get a shot of all three....but I got two!!

My Three

Lexi

Colton

Brody

Colton....my little "Tornado"

 Colton had his 3rd Birthday a few weeks ago, and I can't believe he is already 3! Colton is the most amazing son ever! He is WILD, and I love it. He plays TONS of baseball EVERYDAY..even if its 105 degrees outside. He walks around shirtless half the time, carries his baseball backpack and three bats everywhere we go-literally! His favorite thing to say is " You wanna piece of Me" he is all boy! He goes all day without taking a nap and still manages to be the last one asleep, and ALWAYS crawls in our bed around 2am and snuggles in between Chad and I, and I wouldn't change him for the world. His nickname is "Tornado" because he goes NON-STOP 24/7 and leaves a mess everywhere he goes! God blessed us with an amazing & awesome little boy! Colton, Love you so much, and you have my heart!

Colton Phillip Rex Sanders

Did I mention.....he HATES having his picture taken?

Lexi....my girl is growing up!

 Lexi has finally reached "double digits" as she called it on her big 10th Birthday Party! She is dying to grow up, while I am dying for her to stay young. I am dreading the teenage years. lol. Lexi, is strong, smart, beautiful, sassy, and most importantly a christian. She continues to amaze me, and I couldn't be more proud of her.  Lexi plays every sport you can imagine...Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball, and wants to play softball. She has a heart full of determination and drive, and has an attitude to go along with it! She is also a girlie girl who LOVES lipgloss ( my MAC lipgloss) and carries her purse and Ipod Touch everywhere we go!  Love you Lexi- you mean the world to me!

Lexi Taylor

Everytime....and I mean everytime I take pictures of Lexi....she tries to TELL ME how to be a photographer! She is too funny! Love this girl! She has my heart!

My three

So, every single time I round up the courage to go out and take a few pictures of my three wild ones, it is always 100% chaos!! It normally ends with all 4 of us in tears and with bad attitudes. Ha ha. So here are a few...... I love these kids!!

Brody, Lexi, and Colton- I love yall more than you will ever know.... I love being your MOM!

Even if you all drive me completely crazy sometimes.... your smiles, hugs, and kisses make being a mother the most amazing thing ever.

 

This picture just cracks me up....let the meltdowns begin. ha ha

 

Live in the Moment

Today.... I am living in the moment....I have such a beautiful and healthy family! Some days, I take it for granted, and as  I tear up writing this....I just want to live in the moment. Live for my husband and children and just be happy. I have an amazing life, I am blessed with tons of family and friends...who love me for me. Thank you for loving me... God, thank you for being an awesome GOD!

These are few pictures of me and my favorite people in the world, after I graduated college....whoo hoo I am an official Professional Photographer...bring it on : )

Me and my hubby....so sorry ladies, he is taken Forever

Chad hates having his picture taken : ( I think its 100% my fault....I always have my camera wherever we go.... I want to always remember everything.... I don't want to ever forget!

Lexi and I....she is the oldest of our three wild kiddos..she is growing up...she is beautiful & sassy! She has the biggest heart you could ever ask for, but don't be mistaken by her cute little grin...she has an attitude to go along with it..lol... 

Colton and I...he is our middle child... he is hilarious, he loves to play the drums, play soccer and baseball, and his nickname is Tornado...that pretty much sums his personality up... Love you!

 This is our silly face that we always make together.... ha ha.. I LOVE IT! So funny!

And here is Brody and I.....aka our FINAL addition to the Sanders Family!!! He is our baby boy with huge blue eyes like his Mommy : ) He is our first kid ever to sleep through the night : ) He is full of energy and is stubborn like both his mommy and daddy- when he wants something you better give it to him FAST or things will get ugly...lol... We are so blessed!

Colton's first soccer game!

My son, Colton is 2 and this is his first year playing soccer! It is Hilarious watching a team of 2 & 3 year old kids playing soccer. Their are several kids who have plenty of meltdowns, but it is so awesome to see my kid having fun...here are a few pictures of his first practice and his first game. Oh, and yes Colton scored his first goal at his first game...Whoo hoo... Proud Soccer Mom. Don't hate. : )

Yes....I have the cutest soccer player EVER.... Colton- you are getting so big. I love you!

  Yup....that's my kid standing on the bench, screaming for his team! Too funny!

 Go #5..... Colton scoring his first goal EVER! Whoo hoo!

 

 The Coach is my husband! Such a good man to chase around a team of 2 & 3 year old kids... CRAZY!

Big Brother

 Growing up, my brother and I fought like cats and dogs. Seriously, he used to beat the crap out of me! He used to invite his friends over and beat me up for entertainment...brutal, I know! After all the fights, tears,  broken objects, screaming matches, and driving my parents almost insane, we still love each other.  He still makes my blood boil (because we are both sooo stubborn and hot headed) but he is my big brother ,and I love him more than he will ever know. He is such a strong man, a great father and husband, and although he is leaving TN, I will forgive him, because now I get to go visit the beautiful and sunny beaches in Orange County...whoo hoo. SWEET!  I can hear VACATION already....should I book my tickets now or wait till they get settled in? Ummmm ok I will wait.  Kyle, Sheila, and my chunky little monkey,  Kale- I love you so much and we will miss you! If you have a brother or sister, please tell them how much you love them!

                                Kale is getting so chunky....check out his cheeks. I just love him!

             I just had to get a close up....of his beautiful face! I am soooo jealous of his eye lashes!

I will miss yall, but we will see you soon! Love yall so much.....I am looking forward to the beach already!

Bubbles & Smiles!

Bath Time! Taking a time out to take pictures that really speak to my heart! Just knowing that they won't be little forever, and they won't need my help forever -makes me tear up BIG TIME. I just love looking at my boys in the tub, laughing and smiling! This makes me happy!

They hate getting their hair washed.....isn't that all kids?!
