While my mom was here we had a free day with not much planned so we decided to take the kids out exploring. Teagan and I have been to this particular sculpture garden several times before, we like to go out exploring new places while the older two are in school. He loves this place. It is peaceful, never overrun with people and he just has the space, time and energy to be a boy. I knew the older kids would love it too so we gathered up our fancy smanshy magnifying glasses and headed out.

Exploring involves leaves, rocks and sticks. Touching them, throwing them, dropping them into the water and […]

1. We had a great Memorial Day weekend filled with great friends and food and several parties and long walks and longer naps (even for me!) and tired kiddos. Perfect way to start the summer.

2. Teagan has mastered the art of the evil laugh. Cutest.Thing.Ever. I’ve got to get it on video.

3. You know what this equals?

Lots of this….

yeah buddy!

4. He’s cutting four, FOUR, teeth at once right now. Ouch.

5.

6. If you are thinking about booking a session this summer, contact me soon! My calendar is just about full, with just a […]

1. I caught this the other day when I arrived at this location a little early.

2. This is amazing. Anne shared this with me and it says so much. He articulates so much about how I feel about photography. Seeing not just the light, but the light in people. Finding yourself in your work, recognizing your vision, being open, seeing and embracing what is around you instead of trying to make it perfect, giving of yourself and celebrating what is right. It’s 20 minutes long, but by far the best 20 minutes I’ve spent on the web in quite a while. Worth it.

3. I love this.

4. We’ve […]

I have been trying to give my new camera (it is a 5D Mark II for those that asked) a good workout with each of my lenses just to make sure there aren’t any issues with it and that I am 100% happy with it. I pulled out the macro this week to play a little and thought I would come share a few. I am not a macro photographer, I say that often, mostly because I cannot stand using a tripod and well, it is windy here. Two big things working against me, but here are a few I liked….

I got up and out of the house fairly early this morning to run a few errands, then went in to Austin to have lunch with a client. On the way home I called to check in on Jase and the kids. Ty answered the phone and sounded down in the dumps. He’s had a really hard time this week with my mom leaving, his teacher mentioned he’d been quiet for a few days and all his friends were busy doing other things today. He was just feeling down. We chatted for a few minutes and then got off the phone. I called back a few minutes later and told him to get dressed, I was going to swing by […]

i’ll resist the urge to bust out in vanilla ice right now….you’re welcome! ha!

we woke up to ice this morning, not something that happens every day down here. all the schools started 2 hours late to give the sun some time to work it’s magic and melt the ice.

i’m a bit embarassed to post these because i know there are a few A-MAZING macro photogs that frequent this blog. a macro photographer, i am not. i just haven’t gotten it, probably because i refuse to use my tripod. well, that and the fact that i went outside this morning in yoga pants, a t-shirt and my slippers….uncontrollable shivers and macro don’t exactly mix lol. ty took mercy on me after […]
