On a recent Saturday my husband Bill, his friend Bradley, and myself went on an adventure to the almost the heart of Houston (if we’re going to use the anatomy metaphor I’d say it was more like the lung…) to St. Arnold Brewery. St. Arnold Brewery boasts as being Texas’ Oldest Craft Brewery, I’m not…

In August-ish of 2009 I had gone to Buffalo, NY for my grandfather’s funeral, a week later my grandmother (other side of the family) passed away. A three day trip turned into almost three weeks. There was so much going on in my life during this time, so much sadness, so much loss. In the…

To be fair, since I posted such an adorable yet embarrassing photo of my husband in last week’s The Photography Chronicles ~ 2, I thought I should post an equally embarrassing childhood photo of myself. I have to admit it was really hard to find, I was adorable (HA). But here you have it, yes…

Ketti Handbags   I want one…right…now.

My father in law asked me to shoot a few photos of him for his website. Here is what we ended up with… James has a fantastic laugh that is contagious, I think this is my favorite picture because it really captures that joy. Ok, so this is not my father in law, this is…

For as long as I can remember my mom has always been a gardener. When I was very young and my parents were still married, they had a large vegetable garden. I remember picking the peas right off the plants and eating them. The smell of fresh carrots, straight out of the ground, the way…

I love parties. They’re a ton of work and afterwards I’m always insanely exhausted, but I love them. My awesome husband turned 27 yesterday and that was a good reason for a party. We decided back in August…maybe July…that it should most definitely be a costume party. I’m a huge fan of The Tom Kat…
