not afraid of the sun | austin photographer

so this past weekend, MC accompanied me on the call for models shoot in downtown austin. for those that don’t know, MC is a local that i mentor. the term mentor is used loosely because i really stink at teaching….but we have fun together and she’s making great progress despite my horrid teaching skills. we hadn’t been out shooting together for a few months due to busy season, holidays, etc. so when she asked if she could go on the model shoot, i was thrilled. i was even more thrilled when we were walking downtown and she asked if we could stop for a minute and shoot in full sun….yeah buddy….that’s my girl!!! i was so proud. so we talked […]

1. Now that I’m working again, I have grown to dread Mondays. Mondays I wake up to a messy house, clothes everywhere, dishes everywhere, just a mess that is the result of mom being gone all weekend long. It takes all week to recover and then it happens all over again. Am I the only one that feels like it takes me all week long to recover from the weekend?

our new playroom | austin photographer

During the height of busy season Jase and I decided we needed to move my desk into our bedroom so we could both have work time behind closed doors. Trying to get anything done with five people in the house and constant interuptions, just wasn’t very productive. Our intention was to get through the busy season and then see what was working and what wasn’t and see if we needed or wanted to move it back. The space was made to be a breakfast room, but we’ve never used it for that intended purpose. It’s always been my office area and where we keep Taryn’s little white table for snacks, crafts, etc. Here is the waaaaay before….
