Life is about stories. The stories we share with our friends, the stories we create with our families, the stories that are passed on from generation to generation that keep the memories alive. How fortunate am I that my job is to tell stories through imagery? Pretty lucky, I’d say! Recently I had the opportunity...
We are in our fifth week of 100+° temps and eagerly awaiting the supposed cool down (read: mid 90°s) that should arrive this weekend. In an attempt to beat the heat, I met Little Miss Haley early in the morning and we captured some giggles & the beautiful rising sun. She was in the middle...
What is more fun than one accident prone 18 month old? Well, TWO, of course! Mama B & I first started planning our shoot & a few days before we were scheduled I got the email: “we do have a small issue…Aiden has a small black eye” Oh boy! What do we do? Photoshop can...
As I continue on this learning journey there seem to be lessons everywhere. These beautiful children taught me a big one! DO NOT shoot on a 95+ degree day! YIKES! We were so hot, and twin 2 year olds don’t necessarily do so well under these circumstances. Their big brothers were champs on this hot, hot day...
Well…I am back. The last few days were an example of juxtaposition at it’s finest. As I greeted those in line at my grandfather’s funeral (which lasted until they cut it off after two hours & included over 250 people) so many expressed their condolences, which were promptly followed by congratulations and a belly rub....
They say every photographer has their “thing.” The inner giddiness that keeps them coming back to their camera day after day, spending hours processing in photoshop & generally keeping their creative spirits up. Newborns are my “thing.” I love them. I can’t get enough of them. And my goodness, I had the opportunity to shoot...
They tend to remind us of the underlying peace that exists in this world. With their perfect creamy skin, their sweet peachy lips and a smell that one could crave for a lifetime. I know I have said it before and I will say it every single time I get to work with them…I LOVE...
Oh my. Seriously, I have the privilege of photographing the most BEAUTIFUL children! I know these kiddo’s mama is checking in desperately awaiting her teaser shots, so I just couldn’t wait to share, even though I am only two photos into her shoot and missing three family members! I spent a couple of hours chasing after them one evening...
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.
