I stumbled across this website the other day and wanted to pass it on to all the Mom’s with cameras (or anyone wanting to learn how to use their camera better).
The site is packed with tips for photographing your children; from basic camera use to post processing techniques. Check out the MomShots site here.
Hope you enjoy it!
Jess and Katie are married! They exchanged vows at the breathtaking Annunciation Catholic Church in downtown Houston and celebrated in Brenham reception at the Brenham Fireman’s Training Center.
On to the pictures!

The Groom and his entourage…

At the reception…
Everyone was tearing up the dance floor…
We wish this delightful couple all the best! Thanks so much for choosing us to be part of your day!
I would so marry this blog (that is, of course, only if my husband wasn’t a blog. If he was a blog then I would certainly marry him)! I discovered Dana’s fun little bit of web real estate the other week and I can’t get enough of it. If you like to sew or make things then hop on over to Made and look around. All images are from Dana’s blog (which she kindly granted me permission to use. How cool is she?), click on any of them to go straight to the blog.
Dana has posted a great tutorial teaching you how to turn this man’s shirt…
or this boring old shirt into this uber cute summer frock…

Not to pick on guy’s shirts. She shows you how to turn a ladies shirt into cute little pants…

or turn kid’s clothes into cuter kid’s clothes…

But wait, there’s more! What about freezer stenciling George Michael on to a bag or shirt?!


So, I am not sure why you are still reading here and not busily pouring over her site and planning out your MC Hammer freezer stenciled pants. Once you are there, be sure to send your congratulations to her for just moving to the best state ever, Texas!
We photographed Katie’s bridal session back in September and I have been eager to post them since. She was SO easy to take pictures of!
Katie is a student as well as a ballet instructor and dancer. She carried herself so gracefully that I felt like a one-legged pony next to her. Really, it was ridiculous. I mean look at her…
I will be posting Katie and Jess’s wedding pictures over the next day or two, so check back to for more.
My Mom bought me a sewing machine around 10 years ago. With the exception of two Christmas stockings the poor machine has been waiting patiently in one closet or another. Until now.
I bought a shirt on clearance the other day at Kohls for $2, it quickly became a pair of pants to fit over Ada’s ginormous diapered booty…
I never had the desire to sew for Gavin, but now I just can’t stop making dresses, diaper covers, and pants for Adalay. What a great feeling to create something. I highly recommend it.
This dress was so easy that even a total sewing novice like myself could handle it. The Pattern is from Leila and Ben and aptly named the Sweet Little Dress,
Go ahead and create we were made to do it!
