My little girl has always been a great sleeper & a great eater. She has been on a very predictable routine (babywise =awesome awesome awesome) since we brought her home from the hospital & I credit this structure for helping shape her easygoing temperament. 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!...
Confession: I don’t read a lot of blogs. Those I do read, I either follow on facebook, or add to my RSS (“how to RSS” post coming soon). Back when I was first starting my photography business I looked everywhere but inside for inspiration. I read photog blog after photog blog and none of them...
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!...
Maybe I am the only uncoordinated mother out there, but cleaning my girl’s booty has always been a challenge. From the time she was itty bitty & in the bathtub that went in the sink, I just couldn’t figure out the best way to hold her with one hand & hold/squeeze/squirt/set down the soap bottle...
Two years ago, during my corporate life, I earned a really big award. The reward for my work was a week long trip hopping around Germany, all expenses paid. My husband had just started his residency, so my plus one was my BFF. Let me tell you, you learn a lot about a person when...
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...
I have always loved piccata. I used to order it at restaurants as a teenager and pick all the capers off. It was not until a few years ago that I got brave enough to taste one of the berries and boy oh boy, was it love at first bite. If you have never had...
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.
