I. LOVE. CHRISTMAS. Last night’s episode of Glee was pretty much heaven for me. I love the music. the smells. the preparation. the food. the crafts. the decorations. the joy. & this year I am discovering a whole new side of Christmas. No longer is it joyful just for me…this year I get to watch...
It was somewhere along lonely I-29 on my 300 mile weekly commute from Omaha to South Dakota that I made the decision. I had a great year selling Mirena & earned a bunch of points to use in the Bayer store to buy something nice. After a bit of coaxing from my sister-in law, I...
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!...
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...
My daughter looks nothing like me. Nope. Not a bit. She does have my hands, feet and glowing personality [ha] but everything else, is all her dad. & I love that. What I think is really neat is how much all the cousins resemble each other. There is absolutely no doubt that they are related....
Joy. Bliss. Emotion. That was her dream session. She wanted her family captured in the moment. She wanted to be in FRONT of the lens instead of behind it. Oh, and one more thing…”Makenna will not smile for the camera,” she said. [Challenge accepted!!] Nicole sent me an email one day & insisted we be...
It takes a very special person to (a) get me to shoot at 2pm in August in San Antonio OUTSIDE (b) to shoot a family where there is no newborn involved. But, this family is very special to me & these girls are some of my favorites. :D Glad we finally made this happen, Whit!...
I am without camera at the moment. Well, without my Mark-ette, as I call her. I sent her in to be calibrated with my #1 lens & I thought I would be totally ok using just my iphone for a couple weeks. Silly me. Day 2 without the mark-ette & out came the backup 30D!...
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.
