Old Home Place

Going to take a break from updating you on my sessions and clients (though it seems I'm never going to be done doing that sometimes)! We just got back from our trip back to the home place in Louisiana. And let me tell you it was amazing! So much warmer than Amarillo for one! Wonderful foods. I think we had gumbo two or three times. And you better believe we brought some of that good gumbo and yummy boudin (pronounced boo-dan). And more importantly I got to spend time with my family. I even got to see my aunt, uncle and cousin! It was a fantastic trip. And while I won't be sharing the family moments with you all I did go hiking a bit (the home place is 365 acres spread around down there with roughly 60 of it where the home is at). I have some wonderful scenery I want to share. '

Let's get this train a moving shall we?

One of the old barns.



Lincoln was my hiking companion

I love the vibrant colors!



I love trees! It's one of the things I really miss about Louisiana. 



Leaves of three oh let it be! 

I obsess over a bunch of things but I love, love, LOVE mushrooms!

And owls. Owls are amazing! 

These leaves seemed so delicate but my little lens wasn't strong enough so I got my Big Mac Daddy! 









Beautiful pine cones! 

Berries!


Second version.


Again the colors are AMAZING!!!


The old house that my Gmomma and her five siblings grew up in! Still standing after countless hurricanes and bad weather!

 I hope you've enjoyed the photos! Remember I do sell prints of all stills. Have a wonderful Wednesday dears!

Sisterly Love

       Sometimes you just need to cut loose and have fun. And one of my favorite people to hang out with is my sister Daeh. Thankfully she goes with my- at times- cooky ideas and lets me be me. So I wanted to do a post of some of the shots from her shoot. Some of the pictures are of the nature and things around us. And remember all photos ARE copyrighted and not to be copied, altered or taken from this page. 





I love details and since this is such a fabulous belt it had to have it's own picture!



It's hard to find water in the panhandle of Texas. So when we do find it the first thing any sane person does is play in it! And it was a bit cold!!!



Like I said this was just a fun shoot. And I do love this one!


We had a front come in that night which allowed for a few unique sky shots.

Okay so secret: I am obsessed with Stevie Nicks. And for some reason this one reminds me of a type of picture she would take. 


One of the most beautiful things about Daeh is her smile! And she is always up for a good laugh!!!







These little guys were EVERYWHERE! 




A variation. 

Everyone has their opinion of sun flares but I love them. And this picture is one of my personal favorites of Daeh.

Up Until Now

       So I just wanted to show you what I've done up till October of 2011. These are some of my favorites but I keep getting new favorites with every session! I hope you enjoy! And remember all photos ARE copyrighted and not to be copied, altered or taken from this page. 








This is one of my sweet 'kids' Lincoln. And yes he is just as goofy as he looks!







When I took the boy I take care of to the local Botanical Gardens I was captivated by this daisy and ladybug.


A friend of mine named this Silent Beauty. 















Taken in New Mexico. Beautiful land and I hope one day to do this trip again!




















       I hope you have enjoyed this post. Don't be afraid to leave a comment or two as long as they're sweet or constructive! (I mean they can be mean but remember Karma does come back around and she's much more vicious my dears!) 


      I will have another post set up in a few days.
