The weekend before last I had a very, very last minute photoshoot for a girl who I did her pregnancy pictures! She literally texted me at about 9:00 on a Friday night and early the next morning we were shooting. Her pregnancy shoot was actually my very first photoshoot! It's kind of cool to be a part of recording many stages of someone's life! I wish I had...

My Kindle Reading List For Bloggers, Freelancers, Designers & Romantics
1:29 PMUnknown
I'm a huge reader when I have the time. And even when I don't have the time I will put everything else off and make time to get lost in a good book. Most summers we spend a lot of time at the library. Unfortunately this is the first year that I've had a 9-5 kind of job so unless we go Saturday afternoons, we don't go at...

Bubbles: Because Sometimes You Just Need Bubbles & Brand New
11:14 AMUnknown This past weekend was quite eventful! Saturday morning I had a very last minute morning photoshoot with a little cutie that I can't wait to share. While we were waiting for the cute clients to get there my son (aka my enthusiastic new assistant! haha) and I decided to experiment with bubbles and pictures. It was pretty fun. Later on that evening I went to the Pegasus Music...

No lie, I sat down and read through Bethany's ENTIRE blog, Love Grows Design yesterday. This may or may not have started at work *cough* but I was so overwhelmed and inspired by every single thing she posted about blogging, working as a freelance designer, personal struggles and creativity. I had to share. It's so wonderful to come across blogs that remind you that not only are you...
So... I've mentioned in the past that I play soccer or football, depending on where you're from. I probably haven't mentioned though how obsessed we actually are at my house. So of course now that it's FIFA World Cup time we are extra excited. I'm not going for any team in particular ( even though I'm a die hard Spain fan) but I do have a little wager...

I'm on a mission for some pretty, original prints to fill my house. So naturally I started adventuring through my favorite stores and Etsy. I couldn't think of a better way to support my fellow creatives and etsyites. Here are a few of my favorites I've come across. Check out their shops and show them some love! I'm definitely no interior designer, but I think when you start...

X-Metal Riders "Night of The Freaks" Show With Bryan McCarthy of Metal Mulisha
8:01 AMUnknownAfter randomly watching a "globe of death" demo at a local motorsports shop, we wound up getting free tickets to check out the Night Of The Freaks show by the X-Metal Riders in Greenville, Texas. It was particularly cool because one of the riders, Bryan McCarthy, was a pro sponsored by Metal Mulisha. It was the first time Conrad and I had gone to anything like this. (Conrad had been to the drag races 2 years ago and cried the whole time because of the noise. ) We ended up meeting with one of Conrad's friends from school and we had a blast.
Of course I'm always excited for an opportunity for Conrad to get excited and for me to get to take photos. Taking photos at night is always super tricky. I've still got a lot of work to do when it comes to learning how to shoot photos at night. It was exciting to meet all the riders and see their bikes up close. If you ever get a chance to see these guys please do! They are great! Not to mention they are all super nice guys.
Show them some love on Facebook! or check out when their next show is!
