The Quest: A place a woodland nymph might call home! The Capture: Â A beautiful tree with lush grass and plenty of little nooks and crannies to hide under. How would you interpret this quest? Â I'd love to see! Feel free to leave a link in the comments and I'll come...
Bowling with cousins... Trying on bridesmaid dresses... Getting my brother's wedding invitation in the mail! Playing checkers with PaPa... *********************************************************************************** Insta-Friday photos are taken on the...
The other day, someone asked me how long we had lived here. My friends, we are coming up on five years in June. I am stunned that it has gone so quickly. I am pleased that it has brought photography and songs and piano and violin and new opportunities! I am thankful...
It has been so rainy around here... Really wonderful for this desert girl! It makes me slow down and be thankful for the blue sky that is around 99% of the time. This weekend was amazing. My elbow feels better. I met Annalea in person! (say what?! ) To meet someone...
Looking back over Christmas photos... Momma and I had a great time running around every which way. Daddy singing in the choir and brother BJ playing guitar. I honestly cannot remember a time when dad didn't sing in the choir. That is just how it is 🙂 Deviled eggs -...
So, last week I had been invited to take pictures of my previous company's sales summit. (I told you that part, right?). I was feeling so confident - and so happy! I was able to see some of my old team - they all looked great! I got to see them win awards and truly...
Julia has been playing for about a year now. I am loving having music in the house. At momma's house over the holidays, I walked around the corner to the loveliest picture. This is the same piano I grew up playing on. I wish I had the same patience Julia has. I just...
I've been planning on sharing my word of the year today for a little while. Now, I find it absolutley ironic that I am announcing the my 2013 word of the year is grace. Last week, when the entire family was sharing germs and we couldn't quite get past runny noses and...
For Christmas, Nate was given an incredible set of tanks and plane models by Brian's dad. Nate was in heaven! I think he has unwrapped and carefully wrapped each tank and plane ten million times. My grandfather drove up from Corpus and spent the holiday with us. He...
OK, so the next thing I just have to tell you about the holidays is Fred. (You don't mind going over the pictures with me slowly do you? Ok, thanks!) Fred is my future sister-in-law's father's new puppy. He brought Fred over to play with Nate and Julia. They were in...
Hello new friends! I'm Joy and I camp out over at Small Town Joy where I blog about my faith, family and our journey in foster care. I am a lover of Jesus, my main squeeze, and the little hearts I have been entrusted with. My sweet man (Barry) and I are blessed to be...
The Quest: Please capture an image for me that I can appreciate. Something somber, sober, sacred. Anything in that vein. There are hard truths weaving throughout our existence, and so often a winsome spirit like myself gets caught up in fantasy, and forgets that they...
Daddy got a new puppy. Her name is Abbie and she is a pumpkin. Seeing him with a doggie reminded me of this story. I am posting this story below with his permission. Enjoy! Sugar Road Farm; Pharr, Texas. It was late Spring time with the dark green, 6-foot tall sweet...
When you take your sweet and precious charismatic momma to the New Years Eve Mass, you should expect something exciting. We belonged to a very wonderful Methodist Church growing up. We were the CRUMY kids. (Custer Road United Methodist Youth). I have the absolute best...
Happy New Year! We spent last year growing and changing, reaching and stretching. And now, there is a glimpse. Our beauty is discovered. Let's use our beauty to encourage and edify. To speak kindness and truth. Happy New Year dear friends, Kate
I had the special honor of photographing a friend that I used to work with. Can I tell you how special it is to me that they support my dreams?! Billie-Lynne has an amazing website - Get Movin Now - with her husband Bryan. She is also a photographer and takes amazing...
My 2012 word was calm. I truly feel like this year has been a year that I have found calm. Maybe it is getting older or leaving 8-5 to follow my dream, but my head feels more clear lately. I have found much peace and healing since the miscarriages. Time really has...
