Why the name JBelle??

OK, so everyone asks me..."why the name JBelle...where did that come from?" So, here you go...here's the story (the short version): Growing up, I had 2 girlfriends..Christa and Season. They are the best friends in the world and they are still my best friends today. They always called me "Judy-Belle" and actually we all called each other our names with "belle" tagged on the end....so thanks to Christy-Belle and Sneasy-Belle....that's where the name came from. :)

Here's a pic of me and my girlfriends, Christa and Season....

My first blog!

Hi there. OK, so I'm new to this blogging stuff, but I'm going to give it a try!!!! I have started my own photography business and that keeps me super busy these days. But, more importantly, I am a wife and mom....and that is the best job in the world!

We have gotten back into the routine of school...I actually have a 1st grader now (which does not seem possible...I'm still supposed to be 24---don't ask me why "24" I just always think that's how old I am in my own head!! hah!)

So, ready or not...fall is almost here (YAY! it's my favorite time) and so I'm busy scheduling for Christmas pictures and Christmas cards. CRAZY! Yes, I know...it's 97 degrees here in Texas today, but I've got Christmas on the brain already. We (my husband and i...he has a graphic design studio, so he is a huge part of my business) are making some sample Christmas cards and they should be up for viewing soon. Schedule your appointment today!!!

Here are a few pics from a recent maternity photo shoot. This is Courtney and Brandon. Congrats to them!!! They just had their sweet baby boy, Tyler, yesterday. YAY!
