Fall has managed to find it’s way to Central Texas and our house.  To this I say ‘Thank God’ and ‘Adios 110 temps!’

I love this time of year.  So crisp, the smells, the fresh air, temps you can actually go outside in, pumpkin spice latte’s, fall crafts and projects.  Our family embraces it in a big way….

our front door…..this is the kids new favorite spot, they gravitate here.  Teagan loves to pat the scarecrow on the top of its head, rearrange the pumpkins, sit on the haystack and fiddle till his little heart […]

to print our wedding photos.  i should have done it a long time ago.  but in all honesty, i didn’t love them.  i love him.  the photos….eh.  after digging through hundreds of proofs and tweaking and editing and creative cropping, i can honestly say that I do love these.  and that is enough.  so….finally…..a wedding wall.  jason was somewhat shocked when he walked through the door today.  he put up the shelves but had no clue what was going on them.  and neither did i until i sat down to order.  i put 3 orders in my cart and deleted them one by one, trying to find the right combo of pics before i even thought ‘wedding’.    we thought we […]

we are about to do some work on our house, new floors, painting and just finally trying to get rid of the cookie cutter feel to our house.  yeah, we’ve been here almost 2 years, it is time.  we have a few things we are getting rid of and since we’re a little afraid of craigslist after some weirdos replied to an ad for some bedding, we thought we’d post it here.  most of the stuff we have now is for local purchase only because of size and weight, but I will be adding much, much more that can be shipped here pretty soon.  ((including some photography props, kids clothes, scrapbook / craft supplies, pottery barn bedding and much more!))

a new photo display | austin photographer

If you are a facebook fan, you know I’ve been posting little sneak peeks of the newest photo display idea going up in our house.  I am constantly looking for new and different ways to display photos in our house.  It is a challenge because I’m bad (really bad) about not printing any of my personal work.  If I do, it’s just a few here and there.  And while shoving a 4×6 in an album is nice and all, I rarely do it.  I want our home, the place we live and love and grow and change to be filled with the everyday captures of our life.  I want my children to be in our home and feel the […]

After my cry for help, we started to get to work around here.  First up, tackling my desk.  We bought some supplies, boxes, cubbies, dividers and a new bookcase to house everything from paper to portrait packaging supplies like ribbon, presentation boxes, albums and so much more.

Jase put the bookcase we bought together last night and I LOVE it.  The best part is yet to come, the doors are big frames for (what else) PHOTOS.  How flippin cool is that.  Big photos!  15 in x75….yummmmm-e.  And you know you’re hardcore organized when your labels need labels….

Funny story, the other day when […]

cry for help

There is a beast in our house and it has been here as long as I can remember.  And I want it out.  Or contained.  Or tamed.  Something has to change and I’m desperate for help.

It’s ugly.

It’s paper.  It drives me insane.  The mail, the papers from school, bills, magazines.  It was bad before we started our business but now it is downright out of control.  Bills from vendors, client contracts, maps to locations, quickbooks reports, receipts.  We are drowning.  At this moment we have no less than 10 stacks in our house worse than the one above.  Not including my desk, or the cabinet packed to the gills with paper […]
