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...
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...
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!...
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...
What? You wanted to see more pictures of my girl on her birthday? OK. :D Just in case you aren’t following me on Facebook & missed it, those little leggings are a super easy DIY project. Once Caroline started crawling, she got some nasty rug-burns from my less than stellar carpeting. I thought surely there...
But smile, she did not. Oh, today was a tough day for Miss Haley. She wanted to swim with the fish. That’s all she wanted to do. Despite her prompting to give us a pageant smile. (and by the way, her mama is probably the only person on the planet who could say such 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.
