Inspiration

I found this today as I was getting inspired by other photographers...

I love how love can be so infectious. This was something that reminded me how special memories and thoughts and photographs are. To capture a moment.

Check out this link, and I will try to learn how to embed videos for the future. :)

Growing up!

I have been super busy with Bella Bee lately. Things are looking good. We have been blessed with lots of work, and that makes me really happy. However, that has left me with little time for this blog. Check out Bella Bee's new blog. Follow us at www.bellabeephotoblog.com. I have worked long hard hours on it, and it's paid off. Although, I'm not completely done with the design, I'm getting close and it's ready for action. I will probably never be done, those of you who know me, I'm a complete perfectionist (well, about some things, no, my house is not spotless). I just always feel things can always be better so I make adjustments to things until I can tell I'm driving my husband insane, and then I finally realize enough is enough and usually stop. So, my point is, if I have not blogged here for a while, and you really want to know what I am up to, you should check out Bella Bee's new blog, that is where all my extra effort has been going these days.

Shootsac

I got my new shootsac today. I am so happy! Now maybe the FedEx tracker will not have as much lag time, I think I checked it every 20 minutes the last couple of days! I can't wait to take it on a shoot this Saturday. And, tomorrow, I am picking up my new 24-70, 2.8 lens, so now my super cool shootsac will have a super cool lens to go with it. I love photography gear. I am such a geek. BTW, I held off on buying a cover for my shootsac, mostly because I like to make my own things, or at least have my husband make things for me, you know, to be cool like that. Never wanting to blend in! But mostly because my birthday is coming up soon, I think I can wait until December. (Hint, hint)

Dia de los Muertos

I love Dia de los Muertos. Here are a few pictures I got last night at the Rose Marine Theater in Fort Worth. These kids were so happy and I hope they keep this tradition going for their future generations. What a wonderful day to celebrate!

And some great art too look at as well...

Kids and weddings

I shot a wedding the other weekend in Austin. The wedding was wonderful, however this blog is not for wedding pictures, but I loved some of the moments I captured of the children at the wedding, so I decided to post them here. To see the wedding, check out Bella Bee's blog, this wedding should be posted soon.

This little boy was the son of the groom, and posed like this every time he saw me coming. Someone must of told him he MUST smile, even if he doesn't want to. 

This is his brother. Same smile most of the time. His grandfather on the left, was quite the photographer of the family, and the boys were quick to smile for him.

This little girl was super cute. She is at that age where she is too old to be playing with the little kids, but not quite grown up yet either. She is keeping a look out to make sure the groom does not get a peak at the bride before the ceremony.

This little girl could not be seen with out her teddy bear, she was all for posing for the camera. So cute!

Look at that hair! So cute, in the next photo he is about to ask the little girl above to dance.

Kids always seem to be the first ones out on the dance floor.

Glad to be home

Alaska was wonderful, but I sure am glad to be home. Who wouldn't be happy to see a face like this waiting for you to get home? I love my dog! Isn't he sweet?

Homer Alaska

I spent the day in Homer, Alaska. It was wonderful. I woke up and had a message and a facial. Maybe the best one I have ever had. Then, I spent the day hiking and sight seeing. I had an amazing day.

This is the Homer Spit.

This is the jacuzzi at the spa I am staying at. It is overlooking Kachemak Bay.

This is the view from the Jacuzzi facing Homer spit. See the swing on the left, that is where I read my book.

I miss Tater, so I thought I would take a picture of other people's dogs. Everyone seems to have a dog in Alaska.

Are these two birds kissing? :)

View of Kachemak Bay

View of all the boats docked in Homer.

This is Grewingk Glacier

Another view of Grewingk Glacier...

The bay again.

My first eagle sighting.

Eagle posing.

First seal sighting...

I think he sees me. I saw several seal's. They seem to play peak-a-boo with the tourist. They were cute.

Aydin, I bet you didn't know that volcanoes are not only in Hawaii. They are also in freezing cold places such as Alaska too. This is a view at sunset. The sun on the right, on the left is a volcano named Augustine. It was so pretty.
