There are no words to describe just how proud I am of my amazing friend, Emily. Over the past couple of years, I've listened to her speak passionately on numerous occasions of her dreams and goals on the farm. There has never been a doubt in my mind that she could not achieve any of the things on her growing list, it has basically been a waiting game as she began paving her way. I've seen her spread at her thinnest: working tirelessly with her chickens and crops, taking care of her family including an exchange student and a friend in need, working her part-time job (consisting of multiple graveyard shifts in a row, no less...), to finally see her momentum up brings me so much joy. You reap what you sow, and all this girl serves up is love. Thanks to everyone who has made the time to come out to Schoolhouse Farm over the past couple of weeks to support this lady with a heart of gold.

In celebration of her massive crop of sunflowers, a session was definitely a must...
