I don't know about everyone else, but I have been BUSY!!  I don't even know where to begin!!  This past summer I was asked to shoot the 2014 art bra calendar.  This is a pretty special deal and it's near and dear to my heart since several of my friends have been affected by breast cancer.  The calendar is being unveiled tomorrow evening at the 7th annual Pink ribbon Affair in Giddings, Texas.  It has been a huge honor to be a part of such a special event.  

I've made several trips to the beach this summer.  I am in love with the beach!  I think I could live there.  Quite easily in fact.  But since my real job is in Giddings, I'll have to stay here for now.  Lots of great memories made this summer though...here is one of my favorites of my daughter Presley, and her best friend Charlotte playing in the sand.  

And then there was the Trailride for Diabetes Awareness in September.  Can I say "WOW!"  These people were over-the-top-just-plain-NICE!!  I was taken aback by the number of compliments I received during this event.  But the biggest compliment of them all was the invite I received to become the OFFICIAL SALTGRAS TRAILRIDE PHOTOGRAPHER!!!  OMGEEEE!  Haha, I still don't know how I am going to pull this off, but with the help of my good friend Lori Hamff-Diez...I'm sure it will be amazing!  It's not all official just yet, but I'll keep you posted.  The ride leaves out in February for 8 days and is known as a vacation to some.  I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of such a historic event.  Here's a picture below of the trailboss himself, Mr. Dickie Davis.  

Two weeks later I found myself shooting rodeo photography at the Lee County Sheriff's Posse Arena.  A play day for the youngest cowboys and girls of them all!  It was so much fun to watch the horses and kids work so hard.  I was a little jealous that I didn't have a horse to ride myself, however, I learned from the trailride that it is impossible to take pictures from the back of a horse.  So I kept my feet planted firmly on the ground.  Here is a few of my favorites from the day.  

 

This evening I'm shooting Happy 1 year Birthday pics for a little one in Lincoln, Texas.  

And this weekend I'll be back at the beach.  Yep!  I'm going back!!  This time for a little work though.  I'm shooting a beach wedding in Port Aransas, Texas at sunset on Saturday evening.   

November has a few special things planned too.  I'm doing bridals for a longtime special friend in San Antonio.  I'm keeping the location a surprise on this one, but you will not want to miss these pictures.  I expect them to be over the top BEAUTIFUL!!  The wedding for this one will be in December, also in San Antonio.  Novemeber 16th is the date for the Diabetes Awareness Fun Run in Leobeau, Texas.  Lori is in charge of this one too, so of course I've agreed to be there with my camera in hand.
