“Twenty years from now you will more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”- unknown

I had a great time traveling to a new location with the Blaess Family. It is so fun to try new things and just explore. This beautiful park is right in the middle of San Antonio. I have passed it many times and never even stopped to appreciate it’s beauty in my frantic rushed state to always get somewhere. There are huge beautiful tress all around  San Pedro Park. I really need to get out and explore my own city more often. I need some coffee and a good friend to go with me. Who is up for it?!

Thank you Blaess Family for the great afternoon. It was so nice to meet you and a joy to photograph your beautiful boys.

here are a few to share from the Quarry Golf Cause, Restaurant, Venue…. bridal photoshoot!! I couldn’t have done it without my fabulous assistant Kahlei- she zoomed us around in golf cards, got all of the equipment I needed, tossed veils, held reflectors, poured champagne, the list goes on and on. I will have a lot of images to share from my other couples who modeled. Thank you to all of my dear friends who volunteered your time, energy, and good looks! Also- thank you to the Quarry — this opportunity was an honor. xoxoxo

Live every moment- Laugh every day- Love beyond words

Oh how I have missed these kiddos! In my babysitting days- I practically lived at their house, laughed all the time, and love love loved these kids! This was a session I was really looking forward to. I just couldn’t wait to catch up with the whole family. Jack and Grace are still as precious and polite as I remember. They are so sweet with each other (around me at least I have really missed them. xo

I love my clients… who are now my friends whether they like it or not! I have the best and loyal clients– I am so appreciative of the referals you all have sent my way. I have been wanting to test out a few new products and wanted to start with a giveaway. If you have had a session in 2011, or have one scheduled, with Laura  Haley Photography (weddings too!)  leave a comment on this post and you are in the drawing for one of these custom 12×12 or 20×20 poetry storyboards. I will randomly draw for the winner on Sunday Oct. 16th. Thank you all so much for your support!! xo
