PHOTO CLASS!  I enjoyed my first photography classes at Klyde Warren Park.  Let me preface this by saying: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO USE A FANCY CAMERA!

But sweet Matt has a fancy camera - and was totally supportive of my new venture.  I am not fooling myself into thinking that I’ll be a fabulous photographer - but in this digital age of images, photography seems to be a basic language, so I will attempt to learn a little here a little there. 

These are photos is of my favorite place in Dallas, The Winspear Opera House.  I am literally learning what all the buttons do on the camera - so this little progression was me messing with the white balance.  And now I know what white balance does!

I had so much fun making the video from Nicki’s shower - that we decided we just HAD to have a video from Matt’s party.  Feliz Cumpleaños, mi amor!

Before and After! 

White and gold, my favorite. So happy with the results!

A little calligraphy, a little tissue flower.  A little birthday gift for Mrs. Lindsay Chapman Brown.

We had so much fun celebrating my dearest Nicki, her husband Kent and baby Cochran (coming soon)!

I just love Nicki so much - she is the most considerate, generous, fun and smart person i know. She celebrates her friends so thoroughly, with total selflessness and detailed thoughtfulness. Trying to match her wonderfulness is just impossible - so we celebrated her in the best way we know how … a Photo Booth!

Enjoy!

We went to Austin! Well, we went to Fisher, TX, to be precise.  We were so fortunate to stay at Edmond Ranch, which is surely the best place in Texas. A thousand acres of hills and cows and even a donkey! We were all so excited as we drove in the gates, obviously.

It just so happened that this magical place was only minutes away from Shep’s wedding venue! Shep’s wedding was so beautiful.  Beautiful weather. Beautiful ceremony. Beautiful couple. #shepandshuff

Abby was there. So Awesome.

My man is 30! And we have hundreds of pictures to prove it…

I had the best time celebrating Matt’s birthday this weekend. A bunch of friends and family came out to enjoy his beautiful back yard, some tacos and mexican beers. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The friends couldn’t have been any nicer. Matt was happy. I am happy.

Also, we set up a photo booth. Check out all of the ridiculousness here.

Tick Tock.
