Chelsea and Mark

Chelsea and Mark are a sweet, down to earth couple that I have the pleasure of doing wedding photos for in September.  They are getting married at Spirit Ranch (for you past Lubbockites, that used to be County Line) and so to contrast what will be lots of outdoor, woodsy type shots, we did their [...]

Leah and John Engagement Session

Finally getting around to this! Leah and John are tons of fun. They wanted pictures taken at their favorite Mexican food restaurant in Austin, Chuy’s, as well as some at the church John grew up at. Chuy’s had to be my favorite place – especially with the huge Indian Warrior painting inside. [...]

Leah’s Bridal Shoot

My friend, Leah, is getting married in June and she flew me out to Austin last Monday to do both her bridal and engagement shoot in the same day.  The engagement shoot will be a post for tomorrow, but today I wanted to get up some of my favorite shots from her bridals.  We shot [...]

slacking – sort of

To my faithful 5 readers.  I have been to Austin this week to do a bridal shoot and an engagement shoot (anyone remember or know leah vickers?) and so I’ve been working all week editing and such.  Photos to come and I promise, something interesting soon.  I’m a slacker and just wanted you all to [...]

Liz and David

I shot my first engagement session of the year on Saturday. Liz and David will be married in July and they are busy getting a new house set up, wedding plans made and things in general order. Even though they are swamped with things that have to be done for their future together, [...]

New Site – kinda

Just wanted to let my faithful know that I designed a new logo/header for my photography website and I’m excited about it because it’s more…me.  The new header pays homage to my love of damask and of scripty fonts.  I suppose.  Here also, is a new “tag” to put on the photos that I post:

Thanks for your Vote!

Well, we had the West Texas Photographic show last night and out of 108 entries,

Man, Cobwebs
Got 2nd Place!!
And

Dirty Sunday
Won an honorable mention!
So thanks to all who voted and I will never understand the fascination with the man beside the window, but just goes to show that you are extremely biased about your own work!  I’ve [...]

Butterscotch Truffles

I’ve been interested in truffles for a year or so now. My husband got me the book Pure Chocolate a while back and the recipes are amazing and beautiful and intricate but the simple tempered chocolate recipe is what caught my eye. Tempering requires a couple of hours – you must get the [...]

Mom’s Buttermilk Biscuits

My mom would say that she’s not a very good cook. This is not true. She is not an aficionado of all things food – in fact, she is quite repulsed by most things I love (blue cheese, mustard, salsa, tomatoes, onions, pickles, ranch dressing, other various sauces) but the things she does [...]

Hot Hot Heat

Well, as figured, no one posted a question about food, ingredients or tonight’s dinner. That’s fine – I know there are questions out there and so what I want to write about today is a common ingredient that we hear everywhere now. Chipotle! How many of you have heard Chipotle grilled [...]
