{219/366 | Texx} AMAZING!

On this 6th Day of August 2012, our beloved Blam gave birth to a beautiful, HEAVY, baby boy. It was the first news of my day and I was elated. We really are so very happy for Family Blam and welcome Baby Blam as PhotogHer/He’s newest member. I shed tears of joy for Blam and sorrow for all that I missed. It was like it wasn’t real because I just wasn’t there for any of the preggerness. Yet, here he is, in the flesh. This is AMAZING.

The next HUGE news was that Curiosity landed on Mars. She made it! She defied soooo many odds and as my Hubs told me about her landing….Again I shed tears.As the day passed,  I was saddened on how few people cared about this. This IS HUGE!   I know many think that the space program is not important. To you, I say: If you are using a Digital Camera, a computer, a cell phone, a microwave if you use anything with a microchip in it and on and on and on, it’s important. Curiosity Rover? This is AMAZING!

I took a few selfies on Monday because I missed Sunday Selfie. I have no make-up on and didn’t even comb my hair, but I took this to remember how burned-out I was at the end of the day. This was a “real moment” selfie of me sitting at my desk at sunset. I was tired, on the verge and just having one of those hard mommy moments. Yet I posted this to Facebook and I’m still amazed on how many friends say they like this pic. It’s amazing what each person sees in an image. I guess I’m going to just have to look more miserable when I’m miserable? Or become a better photographer…Probably the later.

Howdy! Obsessed with all things photography. Love to teach, and heal through this art. #photogHER2Day Coming to you from Austin, Tx. Above all else (and it's a lot) I'm Mom to Abby & Atlas. Married to my greatest supporter and friend, Curt. Everyday, I choose gratitude over grief.  #MakeTheTime to create for me, so I can be the very best for all those in my life. My "Why": 10 years ago I lost my brother. He was my best friend, my mentor, my compass.  He got sick out of the blue at the 30 years-old and was an inspiration to many. He traveled the world and never had many images to show for it all. I cherish ALL the images we have of Rafael. Blurry or not, I only wish we had more. I capture images of my everyday. Obssessed with capturing moments of my children, of my life and even my businesses. I believe the only thing that seperates a good image from a great image is its ability to tell a story and ultimately make you, the viewer, feel something.
