Welcome to the blog

Perfectionism. My biggest problem. I am the person that goes to bed every night with an agenda for the next day, perhaps the whole month. Goals, ambitions, sticky notes, 2 notebooks, more notes on my iPhone, a desk calendar, my iPhone calendar, and more notes on pretty flowery paper. I wish I had less self […]

It’s almost unfathomable when someone you love is gone. From the day I met the Moreno family, they introduced me and welcomed me into their family with gracious love. At every event (birthdays, weddings, reunions) we laugh loudly, talk loudly, and enjoyed great Tejano music. Today, our prayers and love go out to the Moreno […]

This Christmas, we spent most of our evening into the early morning at the hospital at my mom’s bedside. I saw the value of my family, together huddled up around my mom comforting and loving her. That day was the fourth day in my life I saw her at her least best, hunched over into […]

The past year I have been struggling with questions and thoughts that no one can really answer but myself. I’ve kicked myself in the head several times for not asking the right questions, so my New Year’s resolution is coming at you kind of early. Second chances mean I have to work harder to conquer […]

My favorite time of the year in Houston is fall and winter. I know, we don’t have “seasons,” but we have the best sun and sky for taking photographs in the fall and winter. The largest soft box I could never own- the sky. When mother nature is not cooperating, what do photographers do? We […]

It’s like a Happy New Year all over. I start going through a list of things I am going to do better and things I am not going to do. Here’s twenty something things I love, I hate, and I may or may not do. 1. I hate diets. 2. I love food. 3. I’m […]

Yes, I was happy I was not selected for jury duty. I know it sounds bad, but if it’s not reruns of Law and Order and it is not starring Danny Pino, I don’t want to sit in a courtroom for half a day. I promise I couldn’t wait for jury duty to be over. […]

Last night, I decided in eleven days I am going to be a new person.  On September 16th, I get a second “Happy New Year.” I began to tell Neto what I thought all my flaws are. I explained to him that I hate that I am bossy, I wish I could start working out […]

I love talking wedding stuff with brides; if they only knew how big my wedding file is, they’d laugh at me. I have hard copies, and digital copies of any wedding idea you could think of. It’s sort of embarrassing, but I am a wedding junkie, along with an ice cream and  wine junkie. Ask […]

Have you ever wanted something badly? You stayed up studying, editing, working, and crying. One day you know what you are imagining is possible, and then you start having mixed feelings and need a box of Kleenex.  If you imagine it, it will become true. I watched my best friend go through flash cards and […]
