a weekend away, the last morning

There’s nothing like the most gorgeous natural surroundings and singing out praises with a couple of hundred women. It was a spectacular weekend and I was so renewed and filled with joy that I came home and promptly completed about 20 loads of laundry. The pastor’s wife was the main speaker and she had us rolling in laughter. Those are tears of joy! This was the third year for the Retreat at that particular location and they have reserved the campgrounds for next year as well. We had an entire afternoon of free time with several planned activities and there was interest...

Finally, the fourth.  Yes, of July.

I don’t believe I ever blogged these beautiful fireworks photos!  I was just looking back through the archives and, yep, they’re missing. I sent my boys (all four of them) up to Dallas for the 4th of July weekend to visit the in-laws while I stayed home with the three corgis that we were doggie-sitting.  It was an excellent time to get a lot of work done (like repainting the front room so I could utilize it as an office) and enjoy a quiet house.  It turns out that my brother, who is the second shooter for an amazing wedding photographer in Waco, had the weekend free so he drove...

postcards from waco

I’ve been busy and I’m very nearly ready to return to tackling things around here.  The ol’ blog has collected quite a few cobwebs lately.  I just wanted to hop on and post a few pictures of where I’ve been (not of what I’ve been doing, but where I’ve been) and I must say, I really have missed my college campus … eleven years is too long between visits.  It’s been beautiful and I can’t wait to tell you all about it this fall! I was surprised to find comfort in seeing that the NoZe Brothers are still going strong after all these...

to tide you over

I am saving up some bluebonnet portrait posts for when the summer hits (if it hasn’t already, that is) and I have been busy, honestly, but I can’t show you until November.  Something about, well, that the magazine actually needs to be published before I can show you, you know, the magazine.  Press is silly like that. So for the time being, enjoy some quick pictures I caught of my two oldest boys this afternoon with a new lens.  I think I can say that I’m pleased with it.  I had a big debate on whether to get an off-brand zoom or a canon brand prime.  I’m glad I...

THE OUTTAKES

I thought it might be interesting to post some of the outtakes of my boys. I pretty much stopped once I knew I had one in camera that was of all 3 of them looking in my general direction and in focus. I’m just so thankful that they were also smiling! So fun. I’ll be posting some session shots next week, so be sure to check back for those...
