project 52:20 | sweet

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/800, ISO 200 + lens hood ••• Oh. This. Shoot. I cannot even begin to tell you how magical. The stars just aligned. We put on our hazard lights & went where we didn’t belong & within 48 hours, the majestic rain lily bloomed & withered away. But we were a part of...

project 52:19 | blurry

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/30, ISO 200 ••• Do I love it? Do I hate it? I still don’t really know. There are so many things wrong with it, but this project is not about having perfect images. This project is about showing what this year of my life is like. & this is a very accurate...

project 52:18 | inclusive

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 1600 ••• OOf. This has been a really busy week. I have so many fun things to share soon. I have been cooking & baking & crafting & making all kinds of cute stuff for the biggest party I have ever thrown. You won’t want to miss the DIY stuff to...

project 52:17 | firm

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/2500, ISO 200 ••• Well. We are definitely approaching two. & I am learning lessons about both myself and my daughter. She is trying everything under the sun to get her way around here & I can totally see how moms give in & let their kids have what they want. It’s pretty...

project 52:16 | caffeinated

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/80, ISO 1600 ••• Oh. My. This image makes me laugh. Well…now I can laugh. I did not laugh then. Why? Because what do you think happened about a second after I took that picture? I’ll give you one guess. Yep. Had to make myself another coffee. & clean this one off the...

project 52:15 | work

Metadata: f/1.4, 1/100, ISO 640 ••• I do not have pretty hands. They are small. Chunky knuckled. Beaten, burned, cut, calloused & scraped. But I do a lot of things with my hands. & I’ll trade well worn hands for delicate pretty hands any day. Because I am not delicate. & I am proud of...

project 52:14 | routine

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/400, ISO 640 ••• Back when I was a babysitter I looked at the “routine” as a job. I mean, who could possibly enjoy the “work” like changing a dirty diaper? So mundane. So boring. What I wasn’t then, that I am now, is a mother. As my due date drew near, I...

project 52:13 | introspective

Metadata: f/1.4, 1/100, ISO 500 ••• Despite my jovial nature, I do have a very serious, private side. I am a thinker. I like to observe. I am most definitely an introvert, but not at all shy. I like to be a wallflower and yet I enjoy being involved too. Such is life as a...

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.
