Not quite 2 months ago, Ian and I finally tied the knot! 😄 We were married at Villa Antonia here in northwest Austin hill country. After having nervously watched the weather for two weeks, September 20th dawned bright and beautiful. We had gorgeous weather...
Warning! Possibly NSFW, lots of artwork with classical nudes coming up. I am a designer, with a pretty good studio arts and art history background, so it's no wonder I like to visit art museums. The surprise is that Ian, a very math-and-logic engineer type, LOVES art...
Ok, the scenery is by far the biggest category in my honeymoon photo recap series (if you missed Food, it's here.). So I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking. There are captions on each one if you mouse over, and clicking will open up a lightbox viewer....
We got our photos back from the engagement photo shoot we did back in April! The weather cooperated in a lovely way, and we caught the bluebonnets at the perfect time- we went back the next weekend and they were already gone. We'd never had any actual family photos...
Well, I finally got around to photographing all of the new prints I've been churning out for the upcoming craft show. And listings have started to go up in the shop. Here's a peek at a few:

One of the Christmas gifts I received this year was a new lens for my DSLR camera. The boy got me a 50mm 1.4f lens! We were in Florida over the holiday, and I couldn't wait to try it out. Verdict: I am in LOVE with it! Super speedy focusing and beautiful blurred...
I am back from our trip! Did you miss me? 😉 We had an activity-packed week spending time with the boy's extended family. It was like a mini family reunion. And by mini, I mean 13 people total, which doesn't seem like much until you're trying to coordinate everyone in...
What: 7-Day Alaska Cruise Who: Me, the Boy & certain members of the Boy's family Warning: this is a photo-heavy post. 🙂 Ketchikan Our third port was Ketchikan. I think it was the largest of the Alaskan towns we saw. Here we abandoned all pretense of being rugged,...
