Baptism

My son was baptized last weekend.  It was an intensely joyful moment for our family.  Seeing him enter the water with his Dad and his smile after was a priceless memory that I will forever cherish.

Here's a couple quick shots we took the day of.  Unfortunately, we were running late and I didn't get to do the shoot I'd have liked to do.  Plus there were monsoon rains outside.  Oh well.  We weren't there for pictures, we were there for Ordinances.

The rain finally cleared and we took one more family picture...

S Family

Love the colors mom put together for this family.  Dad in the shoot and my husband played basketball in college together.  It was great getting to see each other and meet their kiddos!

Chase Family

I had a great time shooting this family.  They were super duper easy!  I love seeing the bond within a family and this family is full of love and kindness.

Let Them Be Little and Shelf Makeovers

Whipped up this baby in no time:

Here's a little secret: It's not paint.  It's Sharpie.

I don't trust my painting skills so on a whim I tried marker.  Low and behold, it looks like it was printed right on there.

Also, I got a killer deal on some solid wood shelves but they needed some help.  Hopefully, I will put together a better shoot to show off these ladies.  For now, here are their before and after:

Are you in the Austin, TX area?  I'd love to photograph your family/newborn/kids, etc.

Guest Blogging!

Welp, we're still here!

No change as of yet as far as moving goes.  The only change happening here is a new challenge I am taking.  More on that later.

For now, here's my recent shoot of my kids.  My boy is nearly 7 years and my girls are 4 years and 6 months.  Where has the time gone?

We're Hoping for Change

There's a buzz in our house that could spell major change for our family.  No announcements yet but in preparation  my living room looks like this:

Getting ready for a garage sale!  It's my first ever and I'm trying to be ultra-organized.  We are trying to get rid of as much clutter as possible.  You have to make clutter to rid yourself of it, it seems.  It's hard saying goodbye to some of our things but we need to keep moving forward.

And here was the best shot I could get of all 3 Easter morning.  Still need a new family picture.

 I finished our wall measuring stick a couple months ago.  I'm pretty happy with the results.  I distressed the wood myself and had stained it with two stains.  The pictures just don't do it justice. 

Total cost was roughly $11!  

I am excited to have this with us for the rest of our lives.

Here it is in our hallway:

Another Year Gone By...

I can't believe I let a whole year slip away! Truth is, I had a very difficult pregnancy and had to eliminate the 'excess.'  Baby is here now and I am starting to get back into the groove of motherhood and life in general.  

Here's a little peek at last year's Christmas card:

I got so many compliments on our card this year and I have to thank Candra for designing this card.  If you are interested in any type of custom card, I highly recommend Candra.  Email her at shedesignscmb@gmail.com.

Also today is the Anniversary of marrying my best friend and the person who has always accepted me for me.  Happy 7th Anniversary to us.

Here's to 70 more together!

If there is anyone still reading this silly blog, thanks for sticking with me.  Let's see if I can get back on track.

Happy New Year!

i know, i'm a bit late...

So New Years was so nineteen days ago, right?  Well, this isn't about my resolutions cuz I didn't really make any, though I do so want to be tanner.  I dream big, I know.  This is about my word of the year.  I did this last year - you can read about it here.  I've taken this long because I've been trying to come up with a more profound word.  Nothing is coming to mind, so I guess that must mean something.  This year, I just want to be better.  I want to be a better wife.  A better mother. Better to my body.  A better sister, friend, photographer, cook, gardener, etc.  That sounds like a tall order but I'm only looking for incremental growth in all those areas.  OK, maybe not incremental.  Measurable.  Steady.  I'm not trying to become a world-class anything.  Just better.  Maybe that's not a big enough thing, but that's what's in my heart right now.  I want to make each day better because I'm trying just that little bit extra.  I want to do my part and maybe a little bit more.  I want to be more conscientious of how I handle each moment.

Did you make a resolution?  Do you keep your resolutions?  Have you (eek!) broken your resolution already?

Meet Tyler!

Oh, I'm so grateful that I get to do this!  Even better, this little guy belongs to my friend which means, I totally get to snuggle him and watch him grow!  

Isn't he handsome?

Happy Halloween!

Generally speaking, I don't dig the zombie trend.  But this is adorable.

Happy Halloween.

Baby Shower

My very good friend is having her third boy and I had the honor of helping with her shower.  

Here are some highlights.

 She's soooo pretty and only looks like she's 6 months along even though she is full term!

We had a great time. I hope my friend and her baby boy felt our love for them!
