Friday Favorites: 1/2 Price Fraps

Last week Starbucks was having a special: 1/2 Price Frappuccinos!  Allison brought her sister Catrina, and we headed over to grab a few.  They were sooooo good!  

It was hilarious back at home.  We all went to find our cameras, and spent the next 3 minutes shooting our fraps instead of drinking them.  Coffee + Photographers = Super fun time!






Happy Friday

San Antonio, TX

 I've been in TX for the past few weeks staying with my grandmother who fractured her hip.  Allison has been so sweet visiting me, talking over coffee, working on our business courses, and then of course shooting.  I'll be posting more about my time in TX, but for now, here's a sneak peek...











Happy Thursday

The C.A.P.T.U.R.E San Antonio Workshop

Last fall my Allie friend and I taught a photography
class in San Antonio TX!  CAPTURE San Antonio
was full of learning and fun -- we had the best students!


Isn't our group adorable!



On the last day our students gave us teachers portrait
assignments -- and mine was to create a "happy/surprise"
portrait... here is my fabulous Allie friend modeling for me... what fun!!



Hannah was amazing - she volunteered her house for our course.  
It was so wonderful to bounce shooting location ideas off of her...
she came up with some real winners!  



Of course my lil sis Lizzy wanted to learn... she really improved during
the course, and kept on working late into the night by cooking 
dinner for Allie and me while we worked.  




Valerie was a jewel... she was so attentive and kept asking
the most amazing questions.  She has an eye for catching some
pretty awesome photos.



Missy was such a joy to teach.  She was so relaxed
and worked so so hard.... her work was amazing. :)




Annie was so attentive!  I'd have to say that
she took more notes than anyone... and if she
didn't understand something, she came up to
us and asked questions... while writing more things down.
I loved it!! <3



Julie was a hidden master... she won several of the contests!
Her work improved so much and I can't wait to see where she takes it!






On the last day, Allie and I took turns taking shots
of all the girls.... so I thought I'd grab a "shot of the shot"



AND!  Last but not least.... Catrina!  Allie's sister wasn't able
to take the entire class, but she kept us laughing the whole time
she was with us...  she also helped Lizzy prepare our meals..
Couldn't have done it without you girls!!



be adding another couple of workshops this year, so the blog
is the place to find out all of that info!

If you want to learn more about the workshop itself, 


Happy Monday

San Antonio, TX

This time last year....


I was in San Antonio, TX with my dad visiting friends and family... 


While visiting Mamie (his mother), my dad took out his iPhone and grabbed a shot of Mamie and me by her apartment pool.... I think it was in the 100's* that day!  lol

I'm super excited that next week we'll be heading back to TX for another visit, and for me to teach a photography course with Allie.  Can't wait!!

Can someone say "real" mexican food?


Happy Thursday

Friday Favorite { Personal }


I'd love to introduce yall to the cutest Bichon Frise EVER! .....my awesome dog Bingley!  ....yes his name came from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice :D

We don't always stick to "Bingley", he is also known as Bingles, BeBe, Bubba and as my dad affectionately calls him "Flea Bags"....which I don't really like :)

Well, after seeing this picture, and remembering when I took it, I just had to add a side note:  I think Bingles would want me to give a 'shout out' to his AMAZING dog sitter when I'm out of town, as well as my AMAZING friend, who just happens to be an AMAZING photographer!  Whew!  This gal is simply ....well...amazing!  :D  Yall go on and check out this amazing site, won't you?

Happy Friday!

A Day With Allie!

While I was in Texas, one thing that I had to do was go on a photo shoot with my friend Allison!  Neither of us seemed to have very many photos of ourselves for our websites, so we decided to shoot each other at a beautiful outdoor mall in San Antonio.   :D




Allie has sooo many vintage cameras.......so much fun for props!


While exploring the mall, we found:  THE BLUE WALL  ........and it was blue :D  Perfect for a simple background!  




If you are in TX, you really need to hire Allie!  :D  She is simply amazing!



We each got some photos of each other with our "gear" on...... here is Allie with her amazing shoot sac :D .... gotta get one of those


We ran into some pillars and a lovely porch setting towards the end of the day.  Perfect relaxing setting -- it even had steps!  ;-)






OK, 2 girls + 2 escalators + 2 cameras + end of the day = Some crazy fun shots!  :D




We even ran across some waterfalls.....
