Last year, a photography student asked me if my family would model for one of her assignments? At first I was like, "No! I hate the way I look!" Then I remembered all the things I tell my own clients like: You need to leave photos for your future generations. Your children will only look... Continue Reading →
God Bless That Man
You guys, I just don’t know what I’d do without my husband. I say that a lot around here and I truly mean it. Today, Aria and I just had a bad day. We’re both just sitting here crying with our confidence in the gutter. Then there’s Vince, just taking care of us. Being the... Continue Reading →
The King and The Queen
This is a repost from my old blog. Just wanted to reshare this because it's one of my favorites and a reminder of the wonderful husband I'm so fortunate to have! We may be totally worthless, but at least we have fun doing it! Once upon a time while I was photographing a wedding, during... Continue Reading →
Going Deaf And Other Fun Stuff
Dude! I think these West Texas winds are spreading some kind of something. Everyone around me is falling apart in some way. One of my coworkers is suffering from sinus stuff. Another one is dealing with the worst seasonal allergies. I have lost hearing in my right ear. Vince has some scratchy throat and head... Continue Reading →
How It’s Going
Last night on our way to dinner, I told Vince, "Do you know how good it feels to come home and not feel completely stressed?" I explained how just 3 months ago, every day I felt I had to come home and down a beer just to calm the nerves. Every single day I would... Continue Reading →
5 Years
We’ve officially lived in our house for 5 years! We found this house during an insane time in our lives. The moment our realtor took us to this house, we knew it was perfect for us! For me, it was my dream home. I could picture Aria growing up there and Vince and I living... Continue Reading →
Snowfall
It’s snowing outside. We all got to come home early. With all the craziness of adjusting to a new routine, I’m happy to have a moment to just be. This afternoon, I was getting comfy on my bed when Vince passed by, and I told him, “Come snuggle with yo’ wife, damn it.” And I... Continue Reading →
You’ve Still Got Me
A few weeks ago, during our Christmas break, I found myself filled with anxiety and uncertainty. So much ridiculousness was living rent-free on my mind. One morning, I was crying in bed telling Vince about all the things weighing on me. Vince just listened and told me he understood how I was feeling. Then he... Continue Reading →
Pushing Through
Most days I have no clue or direction. But for now, I helped Aria with her homework, did her nightly reading, and got her in bed on time. Now I’ve got to get our clothes ready for tomorrow, finish my daily reading goal (I’m trying to get back into reading regularly like I used to!),... Continue Reading →
Viva Las Vegas
We went to Vegas. It was awesome! I love going to Las Vegas every chance I get. It's always changing and it's like a giant playground for grown-ups. It's cheap to travel to and stay there. If you know where to go, it's also cheap to eat, drink and play there. This time I just... Continue Reading →
