Saffron Baby

I want to do a quick shout out for my cousins that make these AMAZING dipaer bags, messenger bags, purses, etc. LOVE THEM!! They are soo cute and the best quality!!
They gave me one for my shower yesterday..and I was super excited!! :) They have all kinds of pockets and room for all of your essentials.

They are very talented and are starting to sell them now. Here is their website in case anyone is interested in getting a super cute bag! The fabrics are very trendy too...which is an added bonus. :) Some modeling pics of the bags are below. HA! :)

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun....

This weekend I was so excited to have attended our 11th Annual Sorority Reunion Girls Weekend!! :) WHOOP!!! It is such a wonderful time of relaxation, lake fun, good food, amazing laughs, time to get caught up, and some unforgettable memories!! :)

This year we stayed out at our sweet friend Julie Metcalf's parents lake house in Kingsland, TX...on Lake LBJ. Their home blesses us beyond belief, as it just seems to fit all "20-ish something" of us just right!! It just works so perfectly!! :) We are living large when we are out there....this is not your normal lakehouse! HA! :)

I have to share some pics of the super fun weekend. :) Love you girlies!! :) It was AWESOME to hang out with all of you. :)

Gorgeous lake house that we were lucky enough to call home this weekend! :)



Erin, our wonderful photographer....never missing a group photo for 11 years! YAY!!

Lots of cuties posing for the camera! :)

One Of My All Time Loves Has To Be....

You guessed it!! Photography!!! I think that photography and travel rank up at the very top of my list of "all time favorite things to engage in"!! :) Love, love, love them!!!

I think I have always been very into photography growing up....but I did not have the desire to get a really nice camera and start taking more serious pics until a few years ago. :) Now I cannot stop! :)

I did some fun photo shoots over the past year or so...and I also really enjoyed that. When the subjects are easy, it makes the photography so much more rewarding. I have had to put the photo shoots on hold for now due to being pregnant, and the fact that the heat kills me these days! But I hope to resume them once Braden arrives!! YAY! :)

I just have to post some pics from a few of these shoots b.c these folks are just too cute!! :) They need a shout out on the blog for their hotness! :) Seriously!!

Some family pics.....too fun. :)



Katie in her cute preggie stage... :)


Baby Riley just 2 weeks old...so sweet. :)

Photogenic Doug and Jenn were super easy to shoot! :)





Super cute May family!! :) We did their photo shoot and the kids did awesome!! Love that they are all smiling....they look amazing! :)




Sweet Sanchez's were more than ready with their smiles on!! This was the first photo shoot we did with them here in Austin at Mayfield Park! :) Baby Arturo was almost 8 months at the time.


Then later last year, we took some more Sanchez family pics at the Dallas Arboretum, when Baby A was almost a year! :)
