Y’all, I have a confession.  I have become addicted to Instagram.  It has always been my favorite of all the social medias, but I’ve reached a whole new level recently.  I took several photography classes in college and even worked with a photographer for a while.  I didn’t learn much, other than the fact that I love pictures.  Pictures are my jam—pictures of your kids, pictures of your bible, pictures of nature, pictures of your house.  You know those people who complain when the same rainbow is posted on facebook from 487 different angles by 487 different people?  That would never be me.  Show me all the angles of the rainbow, please.

Today, to kick off my summer break, I am sharing with you 5 Must-Follow Instagrammers.  I would love for you to follow me if you don’t already (@CourtneyHWest) and I would REALLY love if you would comment and share with me some of your must-follow instagrammers.  One can never have too much beauty in their Insta-feed.

So, in no certain order, let’s get right to my favorites!


Must-follow instagrammers 1

Lauren (@farmhouseforfour) has the most gorgeous farmhouse.  Move over, Joanna Gaines, there’s a new kid in town.  I’m lusting after her farmhouse sinks–in the kitchen AND the bathroom.  And how adorable is that hammock swing?  Lauren has been featured in Country Living Magazine (because, obviously.)  I’m drawing so much inspiration from her farmhouse to use in our farmhouse!

Sarah’s (@ourvintagefarmhouse) feed is so fresh and so clean and her farmhouse is just plain dreamy.   Her porch (and corresponding porch swingbed) is perfection.  I love seeing her style on my daily Instagram feed and saving ideas to use in our future forever home.  Sarah’s home is exactly what I want ours to be–light, welcoming, beautiful, and comfortable.  Home.  (PS:  For even more inspiration, find Sarah’s blog here.)

Must Follow Instagrammers 5Y’all know all about my renewed love for farm life, and Mary (@maryheff.5marysfarms) is living the dream life.  Full time farmer, working daily with her husband and kids.  Their farm is home to sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, cows, and a handful of dogs.  If you, like me, are a farmgirl at heart, you will adore Mary’s feed.

Five Mary’s Farms sells farm fresh eggs and family-raised beef, lamb, and pork.  You can find their shop online here.

Must follow instagrammers 2Jordan (@soulscripts) is so good for my soul.  Not only is her bible absolutely beautiful, but her captions are mini-devotionals in themselves.  And I quote, “God cares more about my reason for doing ministry that my results of doing ministry.  You don’t have to be cool to be called, you know.” <–Preach, sister.  She has an etsy shop where she sells her wisdom.  While I haven’t purchased it yet, her “Brighten Your Bible Study” book is on my list for this summer.

Rebecca (@ps348girl) makes me want to sit down with my Bible and a paint palette daily.  Her art is gorgeous.  I love how her captions tell her thoughts during her bible study and art process.  She also has the cutest online shop where she sells stamps for those of us who are a little, less creative, than she is 🙂


Now pretty please with sugar on top, will you share with me one or two of YOUR must-follow instagrammers?
