Last Weekend....she thought she was a puppy. I think we are going to have to break down and get her one so she grows up knowing her rightful place.

Twice in 24. I said I was gonna do it and I'm doing it!

I shot this bridal one day back in November. The lovely bride flew in from Georgia and then we went to Italy and Morocco via San Antone. They ordered 8 portraits for display at the wedding. Sometimes more IS more!

'Get back to blogging.' I said I was gonna do it and...I'm doing it!

StellaBerries, for you my friend. Thanks for the nudge.

Hula Girl Bedspread Reinvented

So..in keeping with my commitment to encourage my daughter to think that something made by hand by your self, your mom, a friend or an artisan is more wonderful than one more 'good deal' from Target. We made this outfit today. I found the old duvet cover at Savers and at the last minute I realized that I had some pom pom tassels and voila! My cutie pie is ready for school! Forgive me for posting too many pictures of her. We had a great day together and I am extra crazy about her today.

The Coolest Lunch Box Ever!

Ok so its 'back to school' time and my seven year old and I got WAY into the idea of making her something to carry her lunch to school. Actually she wanted something new and I am doing my best to teach her that getting more stuff/spending money is not the way to save the world or feel really good about yourself. I had some silver insulation that I found in the trash at Home Depot and some especially groovy plastic bags that I had been collecting and we came up with this. We are sooo proud of ourselves AND its reversible!

Figs!

These are from a little fig picking/preserving adventure last summer. You might recognize the 'fig in the hand' shot from the current issue of edible Austin. I love reading it so much I read it to my daughter at bedtime. I'm lucky she likes gardening and cooking.

And The Finish!

Their passion for each other was palpable. I love witnessing the variety of ways people express their love for each other. Love it.
