Mommy FAIL. Rats. I am really good st starting projects. & really REALLY good at not finishing (or maintaining) them. Whoopsie. I started this project as a promise to document my life WITH my babes and while I have definitely been doing that, I have forgotten to post here. :) So…I’m playing catch up. I...
Yesterday I had two choices: (1) be the kind of mom who puts down the camera because her kid doesn’t look perfect (2) be the kind of mom who sees the beauty, despite the imperfections. & captures it just the way it is. I chose the latter. & now, we’ll remember… the good. the bad....

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/1600, ISO 200 ••• It’s been a quiet week here on the blog, but not in real life. The next couple of weeks are going to be really busy for me, so if it’s a little slow here, just know more is coming… I don’t have help. I don’t want help. My little...
K.I.S.S. You’ve all heard the acronym, right? Keep It Simple Stupid? Well, this is something I can’t do. I like everything that comes nice & simple to become what my dear husband has labeled “a shawna original.” Yep. I just can’t leave stuff alone. I snip & cinch & add & remove. & of course,...
Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 640 ••• Our big ultrasound is in a few days. & we’re going in with one demand: DO NOT TELL US THE GENDER. Though we’re completely Type A…this is one surprise we both love. But don’t think we’re unprepared. Oh, no. We’ve got the names all picked out. (They’re a secret–from...
It’s a really tough balance. Get behind the camera or enjoy the life we live? It’s one thing that I still haven’t figured out. I want my babies to remember me as part of the moment…not the one with the black box attached to her face running alongside the action. Should I bring it? or...
Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 3200 ••• My camera and I have not been friends lately. I think I’ve taken about a dozen images in the last month. This little one is not so much cooperative. Which, is just another lovely part of this journey. ;) Hope your life behind the lens is experiencing a wee...
Hi! Hello! I am Shawna, the founder of Styleberry Blog. This creative corner of the internet has become a learning haven for moms and creatives, offering a warm and encouraging nudge to those who wish to be better and do better, but often don't know where to start. From Decorating to DIY to Diapers and Paleo-ish Dishes, I strive to make the complicated simple and empower women to take action beyond their personal comfort zone. I subscribe to the Shine Theory & so strongly believe that we shine when the women around us shine and mutual support—lifting up instead of tearing down--will always be the culture here. Are you in? I hope so! Beyond the computer, I run Styleberry Creativewhere I work with clients to create low fuss, high function spaces that are pretty and practical in San Antonio, Texas and beyond. I LOVE making a house a home. My own studs out renovation is almost complete and I am now back to working with clients. Please don't hesitate to drop me a line if you'd like to work together! I hope you’ll join me on this fun new adventure! Xo.
