Jeremy : My Love

Disclaimer: This is a cheesy lovey dovey post bragging about my husband. I'll try to make it short. =)

I'm in Dallas and my husband's not. :( I miss him...like really really miss him. My whole family lives here so I try to come and visit every month, scheduling my trips around client sessions. Anyway, I was just thinking about him and how much he inspires me to better myself in so many areas of my life. Everything he does, he does with such an insane passion and intensity. If you happen to go to Hillside in Amarillo you might be able to catch a glimpse of what I'm talking about. He plays guitar with Rob on Sundays sometimes...he's the guy who doesn't wear shoes when he plays (haha). The way he worships is truly inspiring. He recently decided that he wants to learn how to shoot professionally so that he can use his own images in his graphic design business (rather than using stock images) and so he can shoot the occasional wedding with me. I would love more than anything to be a husband-wife team! He's SO good at the business side of things and he'll probably eventually even be a better photographer than I am. Which is ok with me. ;) I'm just so proud of him. I wish I was as driven as he is. Don't get me wrong, I'm super passionate about photography and my clients but I have never seen ANYONE as driven as Jeremy. I was just sitting here thinking about how very honored I am to be his wife!

Heidi Montag : Awesomely Bad

Leah, this post is just for you! Now normally I wouldn't post something like this but this is just too funny to not. I have two things to say...(1) Are you serious??? and (2) Hahahahahahaha!!! Spencer MADE her do it. At least that's what Heidi's going to say when (hopefully) she comes to her senses, dumps him, and realizes that she is NOT a good singer. Thoughts???

Attention : Dallas/Ft.Worth

Sorry it's a little last minute but I'm going to be in the area this week. Ella was sick so I had to rearrange my trip but she's better now. =) If you're interested in booking a session shoot me an email or phone call and I'll get you hooked up (home sessions, engagements, senior portraits, families, newborns, etc...). I only have a few more spots available so don't hesitate! It's going to be gorgeous this weekend!!! I am usually in Dallas/Ft.Worth one week out of every month so let me know if you can't do it this week but would like to book something in March, April, May, etc... I'm also available to do a few consultations for upcoming weddings, senior sessions, baby's 1st year, etc...

Here's an image from one of my favorite Dallas/Ft.Worth families! We did this relaxed session in Downtown Grapevine in the fall and had a blast. I can't wait to work with this family again! Peace.

Ella : Big Girl Bed

Ella's almost 2 1/2 so we thought it was about time she got out of her crib and into a big girl bed. Jeremy & Ella took a little trip to Toys R Us this evening to pick out a new bed. Ella said "bye bye" to her baby bed and is super excited about sleeping in her big girl bed tonight. Keep your figures crossed and say a little prayer that the transition is smooth and that she doesn't get out of her bed a million times tonight! Here are a few pictures of her super cool new big girl bed!

(Please disregard the (grainy) poor quality of these images! I shot them in low light w/out a flash at a high ISO and had to brighten them up quite a bit so they're not just super. I'll have to take some more during the day or with my flash later.)

Super Bowl : Not So Much

While everyone else is wrapped up in Super Bowl mania I'm searching for a better use of my time. Lol...yes I'll admit we're not big sports fans in this house. In fact, I don't even know who is playing this year. Ok, before you begin stoning me for such blasphemous talk...I've brought you some yummy music!

You've probably heard Yael Naim's song "New Soul" on the new Mac commercials. Mac always brings us the hottest music (Jet, Feist, etc...). I really dig "New Soul". So I went on iTunes and purchased the rest of the album and was blown away and the fact that she covers Britney Spears "Toxic" is just icing on the cake!



Ok, so I must have a thing for Britney Spears covers b/c the next artist I'm sharing with you is Marie Digby and she does a mean cover of "Gimme More". She also rocks Rihanna's "Umbrella", which has been featured on The Hills, and Linkin Park. I think she's fabulous! So take a break from the Super Bowl and have a listen. Shalom. ;)
