Say 'Hi' on InstaGRAM!

 
Nothing like putting on my wedding photographer hat to remind me of what the photographers I edit for go through all. the. time. . Wedding photography is tough! It's basically a full day photo shoot with numerous people and zero do-overs! You not only have to be technically skilled to capture all the critical shots, but also still think creatively. & this is only a fraction of everything it takes to run a wedding photography business! So to all my wedding photographer friends out there, hats off to you! I'll stick to editing your photos, because that's where this introvert shines. 👩🏻‍💻 :) . All that to say, I had a TON of fun photographing my brother in law and *new* sister in law's wedding a few weeks ago. Having the opportunity to capture sweet moments of people in love really never gets old! & that makes all the hard work worth it. ♥️
A weird week full of sniffles & tiredness ended with our neighbor’s dog being hit by a car right in front of all the kids standing at the bus stop... Ugh, it was a tough morning. But I’m reminded of a beautiful quote: “We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test.” - Isabel Allende 💚 Something to always remember when life challenges us.
It’s launch day for my friend Ashley at @she_plans! I’m a total nerd when it comes to planners and have a major crush on her new quarterly notebooks for 2019! We had our fourth photoshoot a few weeks ago and it’s always such a blast getting an early peek at her new creations. Are you a weekly or daily type of planner person?
Heading north for the weekend sans kiddos to get a taste of cooler fall weather 🍂 and celebrate my brother in law’s wedding. Going to miss this cutie (& his brother) tho!
Three day weekends are loved more than ever now that they're both in school full time. 💙💙
My baby is a Kindergartener! My oldest is a 3rd grader! And the house is incredibly quiet! 😳 Summer was amazing and went way too fast, but I am enjoying the peace and ability to focus on work. 😊
A little update on our Fixer Upper: Three weeks of foundation work and they are nearly finished. This was a big first step that doesn't look like much from the outside, but is hugely felt on the inside. No longer does it feel like a fun house while walking through the uneven floors. We also tore down a terribly done add-on that will someday be a nice front patio. And in the meantime, lots of enjoying the town. Next step painting!
Back from our first weekend at our new second home in the Texas Hill Country! We've got ourselves a true fixer upper and it will likely take a few years to get it where we want it. But in the meantime, we'll enjoy "camping out" as we fix it up, walking to the coffee shop & Guadalupe River, and all the surprises (like when Beau found a tarantula crawling up his leg while working in the yard this weekend 😝).
