around san antonio [irene]

part of the San Antonio ABC book includes a spotlight on 10 people around San Antonio. One of the spotlights was on Becky who makes cakes and works for Coco's. Another one is on Irene, a hair dresser for K Charles. The salon just did a "hair fashion show" and I was there to get a few shots of Irene getting her model ready. Her theme...infinity.

vegsady and juan [engaged]

On Friday I got to spend two hours with Vegsady and Juan shooting their engagement pictures. These two are getting married in January and from what they were saying about their wedding plans, it sounds like it's going to be a really fun wedding. Thanks for driving down from Houston to spend the evening with me!

geoffrey [crate trained]

This week Matthew and I got Geoffrey a crate to sleep in during the night. We're having trouble potty training him STILL. He's good for a month and then the next month he goes to the bathroom in the house while we are sleeping multiple times a week. We are hoping this fixes our problem. So far, it has been great. I was so worried that he would cry all night because he was used to sleeping with us. On the day we brought it home, Clementine was very curious about it but Geoffrey wasn't so sure. We put a treat in there and he went in and got it. Then he came out to eat it. We repeated the process a couple of times until he sat in his crate and ate it. When we put him in there in the evening for bed, he went right in, got his treat, and laid down. He hasn't cried all week and I've even come in during the day to see him just laying down in it. It's such a relief that he already feels comfortable in his crate. He's such a smart dog. He's almost learned the word "crate." His newest trick is singing, but that will have to be posted with a video. Clementine doesn't care to sing, but she loves to shake your hand. When we brought the crate home, we brought a new toy for Clementine (can't hurt her feelings). She loves her new toy, but it doesn't give her treats like the crate gives Geoffrey treats. Whenever we open the door to let Geoffrey out, she runs in and sticks her head in to look for treats...haha...I don't have any pictures of that or of Clementine with her new toy (she was a bit camera shy), but here are a dew of Geoffrey's new bed!

around san antonio [arneson river theatre]

While taking pictures for Alex and Kelly's engagement session, we stumbled upon some dance companies rehearsing for their recital at the Arneson River Theatre. There was a crowd that had congregated across the river to watch the dancers and we paused to get a few shots of them...i love the culture in San Anotnio.

alex and kelly [engaged] sneak peak

Tonight I had the honor of shooting engagement photos for one of Matthew's very best friends and his fiancee. Alex and Kelly are so great and it's going to be so hard to narrow down the favorites. Not only did we take a lot of pictures, but these two are naturals in front of the camera...so comfortable with each other. Alex and Kelly - it was so fun taking your pictures this evening. Here's a sneak peak of your pictures. More to come within the next week.

of mice and men [book]



Yesterday I flew back from North Carolina and on the plane, I read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. It's a short book and very, very good. I didn't read it in high school but since I'm working at a high school library for the summer, I'm around all the books I wanted to read in high school but never got the chance to. This was a great, quick read that inspires emotions. If you are looking for a short read, you should pick this one up.

Joel and Emily are getting married [tonight]

Two of my good friends here in San Antonio are getting married today and then moving to Hawaii to start their life together NEXT WEEK. Last night we celebrated these two special people at the rehearsal dinner and tonight we will celebrate their marriage. I think I cried four times last night before I even gave them a hug. I will be real sad to see them go but I know that great things await them in Hawaii. Congratulations Joel and Emily. We will miss you so much.

Here is a link to their website with photographs, blog entries and home movies:
