want to do. Whether your child has only experienced missing y... Continue reading...

So, Snappy will be four this summer and we have seriously not taken a vacay since she's been around. It was time. This year, since TRex is in school, Spring Break was actually a big deal so we decided to take a couple of days and get away. We live a little over an hour from San Antonio. For you non-Texans, that's where the Alamo is. They've got an amazing downtown area called The Riverwalk, tons of fun stuff to do and an utterly awesome zoo (that the kids had never been to). We set out on Fri... Continue reading...

Well, after two weeks of dealing with sickness in our home, everyone is well and we are thoroughly enjoying Spring Break. (Which means, I'm thoroughly enjoying sleeping late.) Seriously, school needs to start at 10 or 11. I don't know how I'll switch back to getting up early. We've got plans to head up to San Antonio next weekend and hit the zoo and Riverwalk. Definitely looking forward to that. Snappy is nearing 4 years old and we have yet to take even a mini-vacay. I know. It's ridiculous. ... Continue reading...

This week's challenge over at i heart faces is a really cool one. Sun flares are one of my favorite things to capture. It can be tricky to schedule a session at just the right time of day and in just the right place to catch the perfect sun flare while also getting a full reel of shots that are also wonderfully lit. It was really difficult for me to pick my favorite one for this week's challenge.  So, here we go. My entry for this week's "Sun Flare" challenge with i heart faces.  This was defin...

I double friggin' love Fix It Friday over at i heart faces! To see more fixes from great photographers, get today's image and play along or just check out all their other awesome info, head over to i heart faces or their Facebook page! Today's image was really fun. It's definitely an image that is very much my style and it instantly screamed to me that it needed to be dirtied up. I like grungy editing with images like this and purposely take them often for that purpose. Here is the original im... Continue reading...

Well, second week in a row of hooking up with i heart faces and I'm still loving it! This week's challenge is Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Basically, a pic of anything except a face. This one really isn't that hard for me considering my obsession with taking at least one pic of feet during a session. Even if I don't focus in on them, I generally crop something down to showcase the feet, hands, etc. I love close crops like that and angles that are completely different and unexpected. The h...

I'm so into i heart faces. Their photography tips and tutorials and their photographer spotlights are all so inspiring.

One image is edited by all of the contributors to i heart faces and readers can edit the same photo to show off and practice their own skills. Being as I'm an editing whore and totally love the chance to ... Continue reading...

Whether you have children or not, whether they are in the Texas school system or not, you should care about their education, or lack thereof. We should all care. We should be outraged that our country's children aren't given more, our country's teachers aren't treated better, our country's education system isn't being nurtured the way it should be. Funding and teacher pay is a joke. Our kids are absolutely getting "left behind", forgotten about and pushed aside for other things. This doesn't ... Continue reading...
