Spring is Here!

Posted on March 27, 2008

I was driving down the highway today and saw the first patch of bluebonnets. There were only about 10 of them in a tiny little patch, but they were there! It inspired me to take a long drive and kinda get away from things, if only for an hour or so. I love this time of year and all that it brings. Cool weather, grilling in the back yard, brightly colored dishes and patio furniture… I feel very blessed.

I always get quite a few requests for “bluebonnet portraits” this time of year, and I’ve always found them a little bit — tired, I guess. EVERYONE has pictures of their kids sitting in the middle of the bluebonnets, you know? It’s all the same. However, I think I’ve got some really cool bluebonnet pictures coming up. Here are a couple from last year.

Mommy, I'm Still Hungry…

Posted on February 28, 2008

I am not kidding when I tell you that my daughter BIT a chunk off of her bowl last night after dinner. A ceramic bowl. I mean… what is there to even say?! I didn’t even think that was possible without serious damage. My teeth hurt just thinking about it!

And I am WAY behind on blogging weddings and photo shoots. I’ve been having some Photoshop problems and have been too lazy to recreate all of my blog graphics again… and again… and again. (I need actions!) I should be getting it fixed soon though, so I will try to get caught up!

My Sweet Husband

Posted on January 17, 2008

Tuesday morning I walked into my office to find that my husband had decorated my office for me and bought me flowers for my birthday. What a guy!

The Archives #1

Posted on December 11, 2007

I’ve had a camera for just about as long as I can remember. And for as long as I can remember, I loved dressing up my little sister and her friends in ridiculous things and then doing “photo shoots”. So this is a tribute to Valerie and Deena who were always willing models, and who helped me build my portfolio with images like this. I took this image when I was about 10, I think. (Note the hand made backdrop!)

Keep your eyes open for more pics from the Archives!

1985

Posted on November 9, 2007

My mom e-mailed me this picture this morning. My daughter looked at it and said, “Oh look, it’s me… but who are those kids? I don’t remember that!” I had trouble convincing her that the little girl in the picture was actually me with my cousins oh so many years ago.

Baby Shower

Posted on August 13, 2007

I went to a shower for a friend of ours, Barb. She and her huband, JD, have been great friends to us and are expecting their first baby very soon! (It’s a girl!) The shower was at Johnny Carino’s, which was awesome, and everything was great! (Thanks Kelly and Kara for being such great hostesses!)

The LOVELY Barb!

Kara MADE this cake, by the way! How AWESOME is that?!

My wonderful sister-in-law…

A Country Drive

Posted on May 30, 2007

Had a little spare time today, so the kids and I went for a drive. It was relaxing. Got the chance to get a few cool pics of small town Texas, which I always enjoy.

This is the box office of an old theater I found in Seguin (see also sign above). What amazing detail! How come they don’t make buildings like that anymore?!
