She has a passion for working the land while also growing her family and stepping into her own definition of womanhood in the positions of teacher, wife, and mom. Scroll down the page to look at each photo to see Shipley parenting, working on her faith, and in the garden. This story gives insight to the struggle of balancing motherhood with other life passions, the knowledge that often goes overlooked when it comes to being a female farmer, and how important it is to cultivate a farm, a family, and a faith. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/f870cdb8-f6a4-442a-b94a-a8935e869f4f/20210420_Bowes_Cultivate+1.jpg Cultivate -

Planted in Emotion Trees are emotional. Well, not exactly. Trees simply produce hormones that could be most closely associated with the hormones expressed when experiencing emotions. Love is an emotion portrayed best by how trees desire to be close to one another. Certain species of trees, like the magnolia pictured, will actually grow their branches in order to be closer to one another. In this portrait Chloe Farmer portrays the closeness trees desire while on campus at UNC Chapel Hill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/e55e92c4-ecdf-4df1-91a4-081ed24be235/20210928_Bowes_Multilight-100.jpg Photos - Planted in Emotion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/10571f25-a97c-40e2-811d-85f126427e6f/20210928_Bowes_MultilightSELECT3.jpg Photos - Planted in Emotion Growth is what a tree does. They grow and grow and grow some more. Growth can be associated with happiness and hopefully that is seen in this portrait of Chloe Farmer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/87d2906c-f892-45cc-b801-6e740be6c81a/20210928_Bowes_MultilightSELECT2.jpg Photos - Planted in Emotion It has been found that trees also register pain and “feel” fear. They will “warn” other trees when they are in danger, and they can support one another through vast underground root systems. Fear and sadness go hand in hand. Many times, we see dying forests and never think of the fear those trees are experiencing. Representing pain and fear, Chloe Farmer’s portrait shows the despair trees can be in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/7427546f-5323-4648-8473-d2a901d11f84/20210928_Bowes_Multilight-37.jpg Photos - Planted in Emotion https://www.katieruthbowes.com/photography/fadedinnerchild monthly 0.5 2021-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/7c303ef7-63e0-46f7-abe6-6dcf686cfb45/20210928_Bowes_2ndDragShutterSELECT1.jpg Photos - Faded Inner Child Walking from childhood to adulthood is a slow-going process taking place not overnight or over a year, but over the many years that shape kids as different points in each person’s own experience. Rachel Bowes is approaching her 18th birthday and with that comes many thoughts on leaving behind who she was as a child and stepping into who she is as a young adult woman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/59cdbd83-1c7c-43fb-9685-a04a6b2ba64e/20210928_Bowes_2ndDragShutterSELECT3.jpg Photos - Faded Inner Child The inner child is never gone, just faded into a past life. Rachel Bowes poses for portraits channeling her inner child. There is a certain sad nostalgia that one has for their childhood, but if you ask most people, they are looking to the future with more hope than not. That can be said of Rachel Bowes who said, “I wouldn’t go back to middle school for anything. You couldn’t pay me to go back there. I want to go into the future actually and skip this entire college part of my life because it’s just too much.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/7b093f9d-e6fd-46aa-9a99-62bed6d42c84/20210928_Bowes_2ndDragShutterSELECT2.jpg Photos - Faded Inner Child The plans we make for the future often must be erased. That is something Rachel Bowes is learning ever so quickly as she applies to colleges and places her hopes on where she will get in. She said, “Every time I think I know what I what and what is going to happen I change my mind or have to change my mind because life doesn’t work out the way you want it to, ever.” https://www.katieruthbowes.com/photography/graceandsunshine monthly 0.5 2021-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/5cf78473-4822-415b-9593-b32deb39203e/20210902_Bowes_DimmingtheSunSELECT1.jpg Photos - Grace and Sunshine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/38aed232-c23d-4287-ad74-8475c164d527/20210902_Bowes_DimmingtheSunSELECT2.jpg Photos - Grace and Sunshine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/bc910520-553c-49ea-898a-53c24d9f63ba/20210902_Bowes_DimmingtheSun-83.jpg Photos - Grace and Sunshine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/5c55d928-a0e0-40c8-8f78-3876d4e3b860/20210902_Bowes_DimmingtheSun-104.jpg Photos - Grace and Sunshine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/191f19e5-41ad-4bc2-82b4-91bb3f020047/20210902_Bowes_DimmingtheSun-9.jpg Photos - Grace and Sunshine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/0f203498-9be1-494d-99d1-b88740359e06/20210902_Bowes_DimmingtheSun-115.jpg Photos - Grace and Sunshine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/d6cfdda7-3d5d-44a8-9de5-70f86f18d0c7/20210902_Bowes_DimmingtheSun-50.jpg Photos - Grace and Sunshine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/754ab7b9-c1e8-441c-8800-dc3569ae1602/20210902_Bowes_DimmingtheSun-107.jpg Photos - Grace and Sunshine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/e85d2930-110a-48ca-adb4-1c05137b8d2a/20210902_Bowes_DimmingtheSun-91.jpg Photos - Grace and Sunshine https://www.katieruthbowes.com/photography/naturalbeauty monthly 0.5 2021-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/ca8ce85f-5025-4142-9a8c-0086cc62391d/20211011_Bowes_PortraitSeriesSELECT1.jpg Photos - Natural Beauty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/8c9b83dd-dc23-4f26-aa10-2f024ecaa3c4/20211011_Bowes_PortraitSeriesSELECT2.jpg Photos - Natural Beauty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/220a2eb9-1393-4fd5-a843-8fe4e28efa5d/20211011_Bowes_PortraitSeriesSELECT3.jpg Photos - Natural Beauty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/39d72d25-a734-4c3d-a14c-6ed36a2bc39b/20211011_Bowes_PortraitSeriesSELECT4.jpg Photos - Natural Beauty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/2a872d2d-d0c9-4733-9058-ccc30f2a7495/20211011_Bowes_PortraitSeriesSELECT5.jpg Photos - Natural Beauty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6170bca81793cb1138e60697/a83bbe2d-e112-4d6a-aa97-8f06b31e039b/20211011_Bowes_PortraitSeriesSELECT6.jpg Photos - Natural Beauty
