I spent a good part of my life (mostly my college years) wishing I lived somewhere else. Anywhere else. Colorado, specifically. I was so obsessed with my long distance love life that I neglected to appreciate the beauty of my surroundings. Now that I live in a place where the beauty must be actively searched...
Now, I don’t want any of you to think I am a master sew-er or anything. Nope. This is officially my 4th sewing project. I have never taken a class and I know nothing more than how to sew a reasonably straight line. That is all this project takes…and some math skills! The ceilings in...
Getting my tush off the computer to spend some time with Miss FuzziBunz & the fam. Be back Tuesday! :D & you might recognize those legwarmers from here. & seriously. I ran out of FROG TAPE for this last section of my living room & am embarrassed that two years later, it still is not...

She knew when she was going to sleep & this gave...
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!...
This year has been a year of tremendous personal growth for me. I have learned many lessons, but there are three in particular have really changed me. I thought I’d share. Since I am into “looking back” this week. 1. Being critical and judgmental is just a waste of energy. So are friends that bring...
It began with tears & it ended with tears. The happy kind. That morning we rushed in her room and sang her happy birthday. I don’t think she knew how to respond to her crazy parents, but she giggled and smiled as she normally does at 8am. I was flooded with emotion. Tears streaming down...
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.
