Niagara Falls : Summer 2012
As I’ve shared before in the last 5 things post, we did an extended vacation to visit family in the northeast. One of our stops was at Niagara Falls because Bill had never seen it in the summer (it’s a completely different experience in the winter). I always take vacations as a time to play…
Read More5 Things : Cleaning, Niagara Falls, Quilts, Fall Garden
1. Cleaning – Last night I got the fry bug, ie. the insatiable urge to fry everything I could find. I should note that I don’t fry things. Well not often. The last thing I fried was tostones, and I think the time before that was two Christmas’s ago when I made Struffoli. There are…

Clearly, it’s been quiet on the blog. We’ve been super busy with graphic design projects and photo sessions and traveling all of which we’ll be sharing right here, now that we have a moment to put it all together. Most recently we just finished a logo re-design for 3DCAMP. We’ll be working a lot with…
Read MoreMichael & Laura :: A Tulsa, Oklahoma Wedding Part 2
So last week I posted part one of Michael & Laura’s wedding in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Can you guess what’s next? Yep, part two. You deserve a cookie. There’s always that one photo from a shoot that makes you go “heck yeah”. That photo from this shoot was completely unplanned. Our time to shoot photos between…
Read MoreWelcome to Texas Trader Joe’s
It’s finally here. For months I’ve been counting down the days. On Friday Trader Joe’s opened in Houston (and Fort Worth too). There was NOTHING out here in the northwestern burbs as far as organic/natural/awesome grocery stores. The closest Whole Foods is 31.6 miles away, why they’re building one in Katy I will never know.…
Read MoreMichael & Laura :: A Tulsa, Oklahoma Wedding Part 1
I should have a card board sign that states “Have Camera, Will Travel”. I love what I do and I love to travel so when a bride and groom ask me to travel (anywhere) to do their wedding photography, or an engagement photo session, or pretty much whatever I jump at the opportunity. There is…
Read MoreChecking Things Off My Pinterest
Really, who doesn’t love Pinterest? It’s unlimited inspiration for the do-it-yourselfer. You see something you love, a tutorial, a design idea, a recipe and with the click of a button it’s pinned in your digital inspiration board. But I’m curious how often people actually take advantage of that easily accessed idea and follow through and…
Read More5 Things : Sun Tans, Puppies, Weekend Trips, First Fruits, New Things
1. Sun Tans – A few months back my doctor told me my vitamin D levels were low and that I should take supplements. I thought it would be more efficient if I just relaxed out in the sun. And that is exactly what I did this weekend, at the lake, on the lake, and…
Read MoreMy Favorite Summer Drink
Every summer I get pretty addicted to a certain drink. Last year it was ice water with random fruits and veggies in it (pineapple or cucumber, etc). This year I got a bit more fancy. It’s a beefed up Mojito, just without the rum. The Recipe 1 Tablespoon (or so) of Lime Juice A Dash…
Read MoreA Prom Photo Session
We recently had a pre-prom photo session with two awesome groups of students from Oak Ridge High School here in Texas. Pre-prom shoots are a lot like wedding day shoots, there’s a time crunch, dresses and tuxes to fluff and smooth, and everyone seems just a little nervous. But these students were complete troopers and…
