Sometimes the motion just makes you wanna get into it even more… Location: Lonestar Championships, Austin, TX (Photos by: Pretty.Smart.Photography. 2010.)

Attended Urban Market Houston – it’s always cool to take the camera out and find pictures where they may not have been any blatantly. Enjoyed working in a cloudy sky, indoor and outdoor, constantly trying new settings. I’m still getting used to being okay with taking a ton of pictures of something and not feeling…

Don’t know why, but these two bikes just looked in love. Couldn’t help but snap. Location: Rice University, Houston, TX (Photos by: Pretty.Smart.Photography. 2009.)

Thank you so much to the Bellahs for sharing their family with me. Two years old is a fantastic age and if I wish I had Brady’s energy for a day just to get my chores done! Was my first trip ever to Rice University after being a native Houstonian. (Don’t tell, they’ll revoke my…

Attended the Bayou City Art Fest. What a fantastic celebration of every type of art you’d want to see….also a fantastic place to practice seeing their art in new ways! Location: Downtown Houston, TX (Photos by: Pretty.Smart.Photography. 2009.)

If I could own a farm of exotic animals, I would. I know PETA would probably have a field day with me, but I am 30 years old and still love a good day at the zoo. Whatever, I don’t have kids, I’m on my own most of the time, it’s okay, I’m shooting pictures….

I just got back into shooting for me, forgot what making images was like. They didn’t have to be perfect (and they weren’t!) but they were my eye. What I like. What a great day to find shapes and new treasures. Fantastic day to find your photographic soul again. Thanks JR. Adkins Architectural Antiques &…

The irony of my first photo blog is that the first photo is not mine. But it’s probably the best photography starter…I have a regular blog so I normally won’t go on blethering about what I do and who I am here, it’s strictly for the images. But I figured, I’ll introduce myself in case…
