Capture Your Bliss

30/05/2024

I know I'm a few days past graduation but I can't not post these from this gorgeous girl's senior session. I've slowed down with my work these days but one of the benefits is that I get to hang out with some of my favorite families. Natalie's sister is known as "Mr. Eggman" in our house... mainly because of a game she played with my kids when she was babysitting them. I've had the privilege of taking their family pictures for years and absolutely adore every single one of them. If you get a second, make sure to ask her mom about the sweater. Best. Tradition. Ever.

I'm not sure where the time goes, but somehow it manages to check my sense of how quickly it seems to slip through my fingers. Last weekend I had the opportunity to take the lovely 's senior pictures. I've been taking her family's pictures for years and it's just been so fun to see all 8(!) of their kids grow up and become such wonderful people. Here's to your next chapter gorgeous girl! You are going to do such good and great things!

I promise I'm not completely M.I.A. I've been busy.. so busy.. but SUPER neglecting my social media accounts. 😬So here I am.. trying to get a little bit caught up.

Over the past few weeks I've had the opportunity of volunteering time to help create content and documenting the very first in . The project was absolutely incredible but was definitely consuming. The Light the World Giving Machines have finished their stint in SA, and are currently up in Dallas Fort Worth making their debut. If you haven't been, you definitely need to go! It's such a great experience!

Anyway.. I wanted to get this sneak peek up before my next session. And can we just pause for a moment... Aren't the fall tones in these shots just dreamy?!? There really isn't anything more perfect than when all of the natural colors in the landscape, clothing choices (good job ) family dynamics... dare I even say skin tones(??) work in perfect, synchronous harmony together. It's one of the great privileges I've had these 17 years(!), capturing blissful moments and freezing time and seeing all of the efforts my clients make to get the perfect picture pay off. I think that's the big pay off for me... when I can see it through my lens and know without a doubt that they are just going to love what we've created together. It's really so beautiful. Enjoy!

You know you're in trouble when you've "favorited" over 41 files to post to social media and there is a limit to 10. Yeesh! Limiting myself to my top ten was a beast! was absolutely incredible to work with. We had so, SO much fun! I'm thrilled to have been able to get to know her better and to have had the opportunity to document her

Last weekend my family and I had the opportunity of heading out to and Muleshoe Bend Recreation Area with my in-laws. The Bluebonnets have been a little sparse down in this year and I knew they were kind of blooming up that direction. Halee Weaver and her cute family met us up there for pictures and I'm SO glad they did. I absolutely adore the pictures of her little trio of kiddos.

Well hello there!!

Yesterday I was doing some studying and this little guy came and sat on a limb just outside my window.. the benefits of living in a two story house with mature oak trees just outside of the windows! He just sat there.. curious.. and ate all the caterpillars crawling out of their cocoons.

And here we are. Having just crossed the border where winter meets spring. Her warmth lingers further into the evening and slips through winter’s weary fingertips, relinquishing her grip on life, creation and new beginnings. Spring is evidence that death is but a slumber and life overcomes.

I LOVE this time of year.. the light.. the warm sunsets and the people I get to hang out with.

I've been waiting for just the right moment to catch my breath and post photos from this session last fall. It's so gloomy outside today.. and cold.. yeesh! The warmth of the light in the photos reminds me of everything fall. Isn't the lighting incredible? I'm such a fan! Enjoy!

Every once in awhile something completely magical happens.. and a deer walks out into the golden and poses for your family pictures. I kid you not. These shots were taken months ago and I still talk about it. There I was.. shooting away.. and into the corner of my frame I see two big ears pop up out of the long grass. This beautiful deer must have been snoozing and then woke up in the middle of a photo shoot. It was amazing. Also, have I mentioned how much I absolutely love the warmth of fall light? Yeesh. It's one of my absolute favorite things.

Years ago I used to hold Valentine's mini-sessions (we're talking circa 2014). They were an epic production to put together, but I'm so grateful for the sweet families I met during that time. We had just moved here from Utah and I was working to help support my family through that transition. These guys were one of my firsts and they've stuck with me since. It's been an absolute privilege to see their family grow throughout the years. Hinojosa

Man.. I've been so crummy at posting lately. This past fall was so intense... so I need to get my accounts updated. Also, I need to include an explanation. My website and emails are down.. indefinitely. The hosting company, bludomain.com I was using for my website and emails is either out of business or just completely MIA. They asked me to renew my domain, I paid them.. and then nothing. So now my domain is inactive but being held hostage until it's released for sale. I'm stumped as to what to do. But I can be contacted here. I'm working on building a new site, but have been crazy busy with some volunteer work that I'm doing, on top of a busy fall picture schedule, on top of momming.. on top of life-ing. It's been really intense. So if you need to contact me, you can message me here or through Instagram.

But on to happier things! Aren't these two so happy! We took these earlier in the fall, but now that it's -2 degrees here in Texas (I kid.. but srsly, I don't do cold well anymore) I want to be reminded of the beautiful "in between" weather here in . We had so much fun at one of my most favorite locations!

Sunflowers happen to be my favorite flower. I’m also very grateful that they are literally everywhere from about May until September deep in the heart of Texas. It’s one of the silver linings when having to deal with insane temperatures and humidity. I’ve been even more grateful that they’ve stuck around an extra month with all of the rain we’ve received. As for this little girl, she’s a hoot! So much fun to hang out with you Halee Weaver and your little doll!

Snow dogs! Never in my life did I think it would snow as much as it has this year in Texas. Just trying to make the best of it. Today we have power, water is iffy. Pictures are 👌👌👌❤️

Texas snowpocalypse 2021! Between our month long stint with the Rona.. the ice storm from not hades (because.. ice.. 🤷‍♀️) and the fact that it’s 50 degrees currently in our house.. I’ve decided that so far 2021 is like 2020.. but with bangs. 🤣 Happy Valentine’s.. Er.. Xmas.. I don’t know.. it’s all starting to blend together. 🤪🥴
