wordless Wednesday

sweet child of mine

I had the chance to shoot this lovely couple recently...loved how they turned out! The little one was born in September and I will get to meet her soon and take her picture! I LOVED the sky this day..so blue and perfect. I stopped on the way back and took just some sky pics!

sister

Whoa. It's been too long. This summer flew by and things got crazy at work. Lo siento!

I've been busy lately scanning old pics for some family Christmas gifts, and I stumbled upon some gems!

Like this one:



that would be me. :)

But THIS is my favorite favorite..

I love it for a lot of reasons. It's similar to pictures we take now, laughing and smiling. But it reminds me that Jacey and I have this sacred, secret sister bond...that no one else has with us (I'm not saying you're not bonded with your siblings...promise!). Just saying that I am glad for my sister, and glad that we've had this connection since birth! I was listening to the Avett Brothers one of my favorite bands...and they have this line..

..make sure my sister knows I love her...make sure my mother knows the same...always remember there is

nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name...

Love it. And love you, sister!

Ladies and Gentleman, a Real Post!

First of all, a thank you! 2 people posted a link to my blog from their blog this week! So, if you are passing through because of them, welcome! Feel free to check out my pictures, and if you're interested in hiring me, please contact me. I would love to chat with you!

My sister is amazing. In lots of ways. One of those is because of her amazing crafting skills. She has a blog (see above shoutout) and here it is, my seeeester! She really is a fantastic person, and I'm just lucky that she happens to be my only sister. Because if there were another one, it would be hard to pick a favorite.

Also, I've had the priviledge to shoot with Rob Milton! He is a photographer based in Katy (but will travel!) who has let me hang out with him, carry lights as well as other assorted photography loveliness, and shoot away to my hearts content. I've learned lots from him already, and already have 2 more weddings to come. Yay, Rob! Seriously, he is amazingly talented and you should check his stuff out.

Okay, enough gratitude... :)

I had the chance to attend a very special graduation last week! You may remember this family. Well, their sweet Vivian graduated from preschool! I know, they grow up so fast. I love this kiddo for lots of reasons. But, I really love that she always is excited to see me. She had lots of people there cheering her on..

See, I told you...a whole row!

And even though she had this whole row, she was still SO EXCITED that I came to see her. She is just a kiddo full of love and joy, and I am proud of her. Can't wait for more graduations and milestones. I will probably be there, with a camera!

ridiculously cute, right?!



Alright, that's all for tonight. Again, check out the blogs I linked to! I'm excited about several opportunities coming up (a wedding, more roller derby-ness, and a new piece of furniture!). Oh, just wait:)
