I found one tree. ONE tree…that made it look like fall here in South Texas. It didn’t feel like fall, but that one crimson beauty just made my day. I spotted it on my way to Target to go grocery shopping this morning & I knew we had to go back. So I grabbed a...
Last week…my mind was empty. This week, I could write a book. So goes it in the world of shawna…ha! I rarely ever have pictures of me shooting. I love to see other photographers at their craft, so I thought I would post this. My friend Lauren took it for me, sneaky sneaky! Thanks, Lauren!...
I am not a pre-blogger. What I post here is what I am thinking about the day I post it. I don’t have drafts piled up somewhere waiting to make their way to the internet. I am an impulse blogger. If I have nothing to say…well…I’m not just going to post junk. I have been...
My goals this Halloween were to (a) not have my girl get heat stroke in her costume & (b) nail my images in camera so I had to edit as little as possible so I could (c) get all the Halloween pictures done that night. Happy to report that all missions were accomplished! :) My...
Motherhood has been really good to me. I credit it for being the one and only thing that has helped me let go of some of my perfectionist tendencies. If I have learned anything on this crazy journey, it’s that seeking perfection as a mother is detrimental to all involved. I have loosened up a...
I am learning…it’s the little moments that matter. In life & in photography. My definition of beautiful is changing. My beautiful has shifted towards catching the unexpected, unprompted moment. I married a man who hates the camera. He supports me behind it, but he hates being on the other side. Being the subject is not...
I forced myself to take my 24-70mm 2.8 off & put on my 50mm 1.4 today. I think I should do it more often. I have learned that when you start taking pictures that other people like, they start asking you what your “secret” is. What do you do in photoshop? What actions do you...
Is this week over yet? What I most took for granted while this girl was tiny, was how breastfeeding affected her health. All those precious antibodies that she was pumped with all day long kept her from ever getting sick. Forget the weight loss & the cost savings for me…it was the protection that my...
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.
