I guess I am now considered a Texan, I mean… we have been here for about 8 years.  I love Texas (BBQ, piggy tails on my girl, boots, cowboy hats, and a riverwalk).  I remember the first we we came to San Antonio to scope out the city we fell into a huge rainstorm and ended up witnessing a flooding event.  Schlitterbahn was even closed due to flooding!  Eight years later the rain seems to have forgotten us in “hill country”  San Antonio and we are missing and longing for some of the watery goodness.  When it does rain in Texas, this is what we get….umhummmm….I’m gonna go do a rain dance.

I have an awesome computer for photography editing, I heart Apple (Mac Pro).  But every once in a while I help it out so it will always be nice.  These events involve me  moving files off of it and onto the external holding drive.  I somehow seem to love every family, person, pet, etc. that my camera captures, have such a hard time deleting files,  and feel as if I need to keep each image forever.  In my moving around of files today I came across the “J-Family”.  I photographed this little cutie pie (who happens to have the sweetest and most amazing parents) since she was only days old and now she is a beautiful toddler.  The other day I saw a pic her mom posted on Facebook and could not believe how big she is and how quickly time flies.  Seeing this helps me reiterate the fact that the best camera… is the one in your hand, the one that is able to capture memories for you and yours, because before you know it….time passes us by.

Today was not a day I loved.  Today I started to allow Oliva to be cared for by someone other than myself.  I don’t really understand why it breaks my heart to do this but it does.  I honestly missed her slobber on my new dress, diaper changes, and cries that screamed “feed me now”. Even though it was only for a couple of hours, I missed her and not so sure if she felt the same (she seemed to be having a great time).  I try to convince myself that back to working full time is what I have to do, it is what I love, it is a passion.  I will repeat this cheer when it happens again on Thursday.

I often tell new found friends that call or email me about photography services that the most important thing they can do is hire a professional photographer to capture images of significant times and events in their life.  A professional photographer is able to tell a story, a complete story that uses no words but evokes so many emotions.  I am not sure why God gave me the gift to learn about shutter speed, aperture, lighting, etc., but I sure am glad he did.  For with my camera I am able to stop time for a moment and that moment will be a treasure forever.  When you work with a professional photographer, you will be granted elements to treasure.  One of my custom designed products, that most clients elicit, is the lay flat leather album.  Ummmm…..it is devine, beautiful, and quite frankly breathtaking.  I have made a mental note, several times, to share a glimpse of one of these beauties, so here you go my friends…. some samples of treasures.

I am a lucky girl who is able to often see and capture passion between two individuals.  Kevin and Ursula are passionate not only about each other, but also about life.  Their sunset wedding in the beautiful Texas Hill Country captured the hearts of many as they exchanged wedding vows in front of friends in Boerne, TX.  Onlookers easily realize that they make love seem so easy, simple, intense, and long lasting.  I can only say thank you to them for including me in such a special time in their life.
