Don’t let these images fool you…it’s not pretty down here in freaking hot Texas. I know of ONE field with bushes that turn this color for...
Halloween is easily my favorite time to shoot my kiddies. The autumn sun is dreamy and I always make it a priority to head outside with my fancy camera before we trick or treat. I will never miss it. I so love… So, Everett’s costume was store bought…but Caroline’s (Abby Cadabby) was a total DIY....

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.
