Give a Hug…
Watching this video about John Halcyon Styn and Grandpa Caleb made me teary-eyed. What a beautiful, beautiful thing – I just had to take a moment to share.
Update…
Short Version: My life has been reduced to 140 character updates via Twitter.
Long Version: We celebrated our 3 year anniversary on Tuesday! Dinner out at Lupe Tortilla’s – we kept it all pretty low key this year. We had a good time though, and the food was delicious. I posted [...]
Cooper, in Black & White
I think this just might be my favorite shot from the whole session. Newborn photography makes me just a little bit giddy! (I posted it in color too.)
Lucky Rabbit’s Foot…
Mike & I both agree, this commercial *SERIOUSLY* rivals the Cat Herder commercial, which for many years has been my all time favorite commercial. Matter of fact, I wonder if it was made by the same people. It is so very fabulous! I crack up every single time that I watch it!
Proving, Again, That You Can Buy Anything Online…
Helping Jason prepare for his Biology final exam, we were looking up information on the human enzyme in saliva. One of the first results on the list? A lab where you can buy AMYLASE, alpha Human Salivary.
We process over 500 liters of human saliva a year to produce tens of millions of units [...]
The Big Red Couch…
I always knew I would adore Kandis, Julia’s daughter. I mean, first of all, her blog is pink. Then there is the whole Trivial Pursuit thing at the top. (I was always the winner until I met Kymberlie & Mike. I bow to their wisdom of useless crap.) But the [...]
We Are Family…
This week is going to be all about editing photos for Fresh Photography, so hang on – it is going to be a busy time around here! (I’ll probably be cross-posting from the Fresh Photography blog several times, since it will be my main focus all week!)
First up, the Mother’s Day weekend [...]
Such Stunning Blue Eyes…
Pssst… want to know a secret? We redesigned the Fresh Photography site! It isn’t quite done yet, and won’t be for another week or so as I work up updating the Flash portfolios, but it is getting pretty close! I haven’t made a big hoopla over it yet, but I couldn’t sit [...]
Manhattan Sunset…
One of my favorite shots of the sunset over Manhattan, as viewed from Fulton Ferry Landing at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. So much better if you view it large.
Before I could finish editing the photos from my trip to Philly and New York, I had to wrap up the proofs from the [...]
Brave Bride Wanted…
While I hate the name of it, I seriously want to find someone that is willing to participate in a Trash the Dress photo shoot! Come on … you can’t tell me you’re really going to ever wear the dress again. Plus most of the things we would consider doing can easily be [...]
Can’t Get Enough Twitter?
I adore Twitter. I’ll admit it. I liked sending updates from my phone while I was at SXSW this year, and I’m now hooked. If you don’t already follow me on Twitter, feel free to add me so I can add you too! And now, if you can’t get enough Twitter, [...]
We Went, We Conquered, We Returned Home…
First off, I have to say it. My t-shirt was a big hit. I was stopped by people several times throughout the day about it. Matter of fact, if I gave you a business card and you ended up here looking for the “I can go bat-shit crazy, or I can knit. [...]
Ahhh… Some R&R…
As usual, I didn’t sleep well at on Wednesday night. I never do when I travel. But we got to the airport early, the security line was long and sucky because they only had 2 scanners open, and then I had lots of time before my flight. Bumpy ride, bad weather, blah [...]
Looking for Love In All the Wrong Places…
Courtesy of the Houston Chronicle, the latest craziness in our area schools? It seems that a teacher took 22 days off back in February, 10 of them unpaid, to tape “The Bachelor”. Now? Because two parents complained, they are reassigning the Principal for letting her take the time off. The parents [...]

Hi! I'm Christine. I've been blogging here since 2000. I am married to Mike. I have a son, Jason. We have a cat, Mona. We live in Houston, Texas.
I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.
I am currently available for business & blogging consulting and assisting you with WordPress. Contact me for more details.
I am a wedding and boudoir photographer and I'm available both in Houston and for travel worldwide. I would love to be a part of your wedding!
You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.
