Back To My Roots


There's no place like home.
Is there?
After taking a two month break from blogging
to focus on other pursuits
( and to take a much needed break ),
I'm happy and excited to be returning to this little ole blog.
Home.
I've missed you!
Coming up soon, a magazine feature that I wrote and photographed
on a local boutque owner, Jill Elliott.
And for the holidays, a big shop feature
that I photographed for Binky Morgan's shop in Llano, Texas.
Two features, two different publications.
I'll be sure and share all the deets as the time draws near.
I hope you've all had a rockin' Summer.
Happy to be back!

New French Goodies at Timeless Menagerie



Greetings!
I made a quick stop into one of my favorite
shops in Fredericksburg, Texas,
Timeless Menagerie,
and was delighted to find that the crew
had pretty much totally re-set the store
and it's now filled to the brim
with treasures from Lori's recent
shopping excursion to France.

Quick disclaimer: this was not one
of our regular photo shoots, I just happened by
with only my iPhone. So please forgive the phone pics!


Loved these French postcard bundles.
So many to choose from!


These fantastic, HUGE, to-die-for urns.




To me, the crown jewel from the whole
trip, this enormous wedding portrait.
Divine!


Whimsical children's books.



Stacks of vintage drawers,
perfect for crafting supplies, letters, anything!




Of course, I grabbed several bundles
of these charming French postcards.




Always plenty of nature-based items
to feather your nest.




Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Local Beauty


Happy Fourth of July Week!

No pressure to leave a pithy quip,
just enjoy the photos, and if you are so inclined,
pay me a visit over at my Facebook page,

This go 'round, I'm happy to be sharing a few sneaks
and out-takes from an upcoming magazine feature
on my good friend, Jill Elliott.

Jill is an accomplished designer, and owns MY
favorite clothing store in the whole wide world,
Haberdashery Boutique in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Enjoy!



Classic Jill, mixing textures and elements
to create the perfect vignette.



The Elliott's historic Hill Country home....
with the welcoming committee in the front yard.


Everything about this space
is perfection to me.


Part of Jill's collection of
tarnished silver. She actually designed
her entire kitchen around this!


I fell in love with this
equine beauty!


And speaking of beauty...



That's beautiful Jill herself!

The magazine feature, which I have written
as well as photographed, will be out later in the Fall.
Details to follow.

But should you find yourself 
in my neck of the woods,
please pay my friend Jill a visit 
at her divine boutique...

This Is The Life



Ain't it, though?

I loved the sentiment expressed on this tray so much
that I titled my blog post in its honor.

Life in the Texas Hill Country 
is pretty darn good these days.
The house is fabulous. We've started work
on enhancing the front porch area by adding
a flower garden, new shrubbery, and lots
of fun yard and garden art.
True, I did find a rattlesnake on the front porch
last week, but that's a Texas Summer for ya!

At this writing, I have two nifty editorial projects
I'm working on for the Romantic Homes 
family of magazines, and have been keeping
super busy doing commercial photo shoots for
my local retail clients.

A new client added recently is
eWay Furniture, located in the ever charming
downtown Fredericksburg, Texas.
I completed my first shoot there last week,
and I'm happy to be sharing a handful
of those images with you now...




LOVE this NY piece!






It's a great treasure chest of a store...
a little of this, a little of that.
It defies categorization, and I love
the fact that I never know what I'll find around
the next corner in the shop.

I'm gearing up to begin doing ad 
and editorial photography for a brand new magazine
published by the team that brings you
I have several ads in the current issue
for three different shops.
And the new magazine, 
set for a Spring 2014 launch,
will be almost exclusively mine, photographically speaking.
No pressure there!

In the meantime,
the business is growing...
Growth = change.
I've been thinking about changing this
to a comment-free blog. 
Given that I spend so much
of my limited internet time on my 
I sort of want to encourage those of you who
want to interact with me to do so there.
It's just quicker and easier, and feels more
like "home" to me. 

The art of writing an engaging blog post
isn't my strong suit these days. 
It feels like a droning monologue,
when what I'm craving is a dialogue, and Facebook
is just more conducive to that.

You are cordially invited to head on over
and "like" my business page,
And still look for me here,
as I'll be keeping up with all of you
and your respective blogs. You guys still
inspire and motivate me to be better,
try harder and keep growing.


Stay cool, stay safe,
and have a fantastic Summer of 2013!

A Fredericksburg Gem


Happy Thursday!
This is gonna be
short and sweet today.

Like what you see below?

{ double click to super size }

Me too!
It's my friend Jill's house here in Fredericksburg,
She owns a fabulous clothing boutique
called Haberdashery
and is just a wonderful gal
in every sense of the word.

Her home is going to be featured
in a National publication later this Fall,
and it was my honor to do the photo shoot.
Now I've found out that I'll be writing the story, too!
Love flexing those writing muscles.

Have a great weekend,
