You see as a photographer we are asked to do photo sessions of families, engagements, seniors etc...which.I.Love.
BUT>>>>What about the people that work so hard and have given so much of themselves.
The PERSON. where. you. came. from.
Meet *Annie Louise Arnett * a.k.a. Maw Maw (Erica's Maw Maw)
She was born in Neshabo County near Philadelphia, MS on 10.31.36 and will be turning 81 this year.
Growing up with one brother and two sisters on a chicken farm.
The moment I walked into her home she was in full swing preparing food for her family along with her sister. (Mattie Ruth)
Helping Ty make his own scrambled egg for breakfast.
Cooking greens in her 75 year old cast iron pot. Making her famous cornmeal pie (my fav).
Dressed in a favorite apron she wears probably everyday and is a representation of who. she. is.
You see she came from a time when things were tough. You never wasted anything!
You cooked three meals a day. you helped your neighbor. church was a must (not a choice).
You get up early. worked hard. prayed hard. and loved your family.
This is a little glimpse into her everyday life doing what she loves to do.
Proverbs 21:26 "the righteous gives and does not hold back."

Paula White - Tammy, this was beautiful! Lived everything' about all the pics. It is a way of everyday life that will one day not be there. These pictures captured in forever will one day be a treasure for all her loved ones and the stories that will be told because of these pictures...what a gift worth more than silver, gold, diamonds and rubies. A gift that will hold until they are reunited in heaven. You are truly a gifted story teller with words and photos.
