I found one tree. ONE tree…that made it look like fall here in South Texas. It didn’t feel like fall, but that one crimson beauty just made my day. I spotted it on my way to Target to go grocery shopping this morning & I knew we had to go back. So I grabbed a...
Last week…my mind was empty. This week, I could write a book. So goes it in the world of shawna…ha! I rarely ever have pictures of me shooting. I love to see other photographers at their craft, so I thought I would post this. My friend Lauren took it for me, sneaky sneaky! Thanks, Lauren!...
I am not a pre-blogger. What I post here is what I am thinking about the day I post it. I don’t have drafts piled up somewhere waiting to make their way to the internet. I am an impulse blogger. If I have nothing to say…well…I’m not just going to post junk. I have been...
My goals this Halloween were to (a) not have my girl get heat stroke in her costume & (b) nail my images in camera so I had to edit as little as possible so I could (c) get all the Halloween pictures done that night. Happy to report that all missions were accomplished! :) My...
“shawna–we’re on our way to the hospital…and we’re going to have to cancel our maternity shoot tomorrow” she said in her voicemail, her voice heavy with disappointment & joy. “I don’t want to force this on you, but how would you feel if I met you at the hospital?” We were 6 weeks out from...
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...
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...
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.
