I just did something Ive never done: grabbed a cookie by the register, opened it and stuffed it into Brooks mouth before he ate his lunch! Why, you might ask?Because, even though the cross-dresser wa...
Im making the kids clean and pick up trash this morning. They arent complaining but Aubrey is protesting in her own way by teaching Brooks "Hard-Knock Life". They are singing as loud as the...
Brooks: Im sorry! It was an accident! Brodie: Son, do you even know the difference between "accident" and "on purpose"? Brooks: Sure, "on purpose" means a spanking!
Well, not really! But I am making some changes to the blog. I want my personal blog back - Its been taken over by the photography stuff the past few months and I need it all to be separate. So, this ...
My friend Katie introduced me to Hillary and her sweet family. She is a senior this year here in Stephenville, so Katie and I met with her on a chilly drizzling evening to see what kind of portraits ...
This week Im focusing on not just a shot, but the way I process. I tend to like things clean/bright. Mainly because I find myself with less time to play! But this shot of the prom dress was calling f...
This weeks picture was taken by my 5 yr. old daughter (as shes sitting in my lap, asking what all the buttons and dials are for, and insisting that I let her "do it myself")! We went to the...
After dropping the kids off to stay at my moms for the weekend, I stopped by the ranch to enjoy a beautiful spring afternoon. Its been a long time since I had the chance to roam around without one or...
K risti and her son met me today on the side of the road to try and get some good pics in the bluebonnets. We were watching the sky in hopes that the rain would hold off until we had a chance to get ...
I got to take some pictures chase little Bella around in the park last week! She is such a cutie and a live wire! Thanks Becky for sharing your time and your daughter with me - I can't wait to get ...
So I got a new lens and I have not been happy with it. I upgraded from the 50mm 1.8 to the 1.4. I was super excited to try it out while at my mom's, so I rounded up my nephews and tried to keep them ...
Back during week 5, I posted a photo of little Luke. He has the prettiest blue eyes and I was able to get a pretty good shot of them while he was playing. This week features his baby sister! She is a...
I'm so grateful that Pioneer Woman's actions have been converted for Elements!!! I've been trying several different ways to achieve the "perfect" B&W conversion. Everyone has their own ...
I'm in love with all the blooms this time of year! Sorry if you all are getting tired of seeing these, but they make for great photos! Katie and I have been out and about again looking for neat pla...
It's beginning to look like spring around here! We've had such a wet winter, but now things are greening up and starting to bloom. I've been eying a couple of spots where there are an abundance of wi...
Brooks came running into the living room, and (those of you who know him well, will not be surprised...) he was naked. We had just gotten home about 3 minutes earlier. Man, is he fast! Me: Brooks, wh...
It's been a while since I posted about the family. I've been so busy working on my 52 week project that I've neglected some other stuff. So here is a quick one from Grandaddy's recent visit. I'll get...
This week Brodie and I celebrated 13 years of marriage! It's been an adventure that I've been privileged to be on with my best friend. I'm so blessed to be his wife and grateful for the life we share...
I'm so excited for Jiñon and Ryan and their upcoming wedding! They were in The 'Ville this afternoon and I was honored that they asked if I would take some photos of them. It was a beautiful day here...
My friend, Katie, and I decided to get together with our kids and scout out some new places to take some good pictures. I've been eying this patch of blue stem for quite some time, but just haven't g...
This has been a crazy week! Valentine's Day, snow, Grandaddy visiting, more snow, Brodie gone to the San Antonio Livestock show, and then Brooks' third birthday!!! We celebrated at home over the week...
This self portrait stuff is way more difficult than I thought! I don't have a remote and I'm not tethered to my monitor (wouldn't even begin to know how), so this is just trial and error in the bath...
We had coffee (well... I had Chai Tea since I hate coffee!) at a friend's the other morning and I found some willing subjects to help me practice with my new speedlight. Luke was willing to go throug...
The assignment for my photography class this week was pretty simple: a black and white landscape. I had a crazy week and didn't get too many chances to get out and about, but I took this out behind o...
Not the best shot but she was watching football with her daddy and those lashes were just calling to me. It was dark in the room and I'm still trying to figure out my speedlight, so I opted to just u...
This is where I grew up. Around (and in!) Hog Creek. I took this last week right before Grandma Tessie's funeral. I will never look at Hog Creek with out thinking of her. Of my dad. Of home. I'm grat...
OK... so technically I took this photo the last week of December, but I've just now gotten around to downloading and editing some stuff this week. And I LOVE this picture! So I've chosen it as my 1/5...
In order to work on bettering my photography, I've decided to participate in the 52 Weeks Project with some fellow photographers I've met at Clickin' Moms. The idea is to post at least one shot a wee...
A Joyful Noel
