Summer ended like this… Houston Lifestyle Photographer

Summer ended like this

This is what I have to show from two different days. I was in Mexico for two weeks and this is how it ended. Did you see how our summer started? Check it out here.

Bella and my nephew love spending their summer together in Mexico, well I will say that they fight like brother and sister 55% of the time, HAHA! But other than that they love their river days.

I even made it in two of the shots. Look closely. Thanks to my nephew for one of them and lets thank my long arm for the other.

Go Pro for the win

Since I’ve purchased our go pro I’ve only really used it maybe three times. I know, I completely suck at not using any of my gear while on vacation. But the two times I chose to pick it up while in Mexico, it did not disappoint.

Also, lets thank these two for even allowing me to capture them at the river. Did I promise them anything? Of course! And I don’t regret feeding them all that junk. HAHA!!!

I promise to keep blogging. I love sharing everything from clients sessions and events to personal captures. It was time for me to show my face around here, It had been so long that my password was even forgotten.

Fall sessions here in Houston have officially started and I am very excited to see a lot of my families in the following weeks. Stay tuned for some of my sessions from the past few weeks.

Summer in Mexico

The school year has officially started and all we have left are summer memories. I always plan to carry my dslr around with me to capture just about everything and more during our travels and it turns in to a huge failure. Not because I forgot, but because I chose not to. At the end of the day I always choose to live that actual moment instead of freezing it. Yes, it is great to have those memories, but hey if you didn’t capture everything from your trip, it is OKAY. Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco was our destination this summer. As you can see below, I didn’t take many photos. I did have my husband carry my big, heavy, yellow bag around every time we headed out the door during the day to only be open twice during our whole stay. I felt bad at the end of the day, but I know I would have regretted not taking it.

Jalisco has my heart and we are returning soon. I didn’t wake up and head to the beach like I did in Hawaii for a beautiful morning sunrise. Puerto Vallarta gave me gorgeous sunsets instead.

The beach gives me life

I never expected PV to have so many different beaches and private beaches. Everyday we explored a different beach and we also had the opportunity to travel to Sayulita, Nayarit and witnessed the most gorgeous small town and it’s beautiful people. The culture and food were fantastic. I fell in love with everything and I immediately asked my husband if we could please move there. I’m not lying when I say, “I am ready for a more simple life.” Living in a big city can make you want less traffic, less cars, less everything.

Bella

My eight year old graced me with ten minutes of her fun time. And I was able to get this. I am content with the result.

That last image of her with the yellow swim suit was totally a candid shot, she didn’t even know I had the camera out.

Sunsets make me happy

Along with my dslr my go pro was inside my camera bag. You know that big heavy yellow bag I had my husband carry, Ha! I took it out maybe once at the beach to video my husband parachute in the ocean and it went back in my bag. I think this was our third night in PV and the view from the house we rented was incredible as you can see. And if you follow me on my personal IG you probably saw bts on my stories. Go pro for the win!

Better late than ever.

A year ago today we visited Disney World for the first time and we absolutely fell in love, so much that we are planning on our next visit. Here are a few of my favorite images from Magic Kingdom.
