I had the privilege of shooting a family headshot session for the wonderful Brooke Byars and her daughters. These ladies are all total girl bosses! I was so inspired by Brooke purchasing the gift of headshots for her girls this Christmas. With the world being so digitally focused and so many things happening online I thought it was such a perfect idea to start off all their careers with a professional and polished online presence!
Read more about why Brooke decided to book a headshot session and more about her beautiful family below:
I was inspired to book this headshot session because of Amelia, my daughter-in-law, needing a headshot for a job application and only having a selfie to use! I also felt like I wanted to capture this stage in all our lives and for my girls to have a fun photo session to remember! I wasn't going to be included but I am glad I did because one of my favorites is the four of us together!!
Amelia Jean married her high school sweetheart, my son, Hayden in 2014. She has a passion for animals, the farm, gardening and her family. Amelia graduated from Southern Illinois University with a Masters Degree in Speech Pathology and a teaching certificate in Childhood disorders. She is a Speech Pathologist in two school districts and a nursing home. She is a cheerleading coach and teaches tumbling to special needs children. I am inspired by her drive to learn new things and by her compassion in her job.
Chloe Jolene, my middle child, is attending the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville. She will graduate this year with a Bachelor Degree in Management and a Minor in Public Relations. She is working in the Business Department at USI, interns for Joelle Elise Designs and also works at Fairfield Banking Company when she's not at school. She loves Evansville and hopes to stay in the area after she acquires a Masters Degree in Business Administration. Chloe is a wonderful baker, photographer, public speaker and organizer!
My third born is Chynna Ruth. Chynna graduated from John A. Logan College in 2016 with an Associate of Science Degree while playing on a volleyball scholarship. She then transferred to Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Missouri where she is pursuing a Bachelor Degree in Exercise Science. She then plans to attend Esthetics training in St. Louis while finishing make-up certification classes. Chynna has a real passion for the art of makeup application and loves to help people look their best! She has always had a special connection with animals and loves her dog, Juliet, very much!
My girls are smart, funny and beautiful and all so different and I love them all so very much! God has truly blessed my life with each of them and I am honored to be their mother. My husband and I have always tried to instill in our children to work hard for what they want, no one owes you anything! And to always remember where you came from, who you are in Christ and let His light shine through you!
