arts district snow day

In the spirit of photography and snowiness, I thought it would be great to post someone else's photos today. Someone whose ability to shoot far exceeds mine, though I'd guess he's not using a Sony Cybershot...

Our External Affairs VP at work just sent out some photos that were taken of the arts district on our recent snow day last week. The photographer is Jeremy McKane, local web designer/photographer.

You can see the stunning photos here. There are a lot of photos of our center - the Winspear Opera House & the Wyly Theatre, and there are also pictures of One Arts Plaza, Booker T. Washington High School and the Dallas Museum of Art. I could look at these pictures all day!

9/365 and 10/365, et al

So this weekend was packed full of events and occurrences worth documenting. Saturday was filled with three birthdays of very important people.

Starting off the afternoon was the first birthday of my friends Nick & Trisha's sweet baby Sophie:


Pretty adorable.

Also at Sophie's party was my friend Audrey's daughter, Alice June, displaying a pipe cleaner rendition of her family, complete with orange puppy dog:

Also adorbs.

Next was my bff J-Ro's birthday, which because I was having so much fun in the moment, I managed to not take one photograph the entire time. Because I'm a good friend.

Finally, was other dear friend Ashley's birthday, hosted at a beautiful home in Oak Cliff. Here are a few pictures to document, including my 9/365 photo:

Carli, Ashley & myself:

Birthday girl, a la raccoon:

9/365 - "duet"


Then yesterday was a day of relaxation and recuperation from all the celebrations. I watched a Law & Order SVU Marathon, had lunch with Ashley and co since Sunday was her real birthday, watched more SVU, and took my strengths finder test that my friend Stephanie got me for Christmas, thus resulting in my photo for yesterday:

10/365 - "strengths"

Here are some MUCH better photos of Thursday evening's concert. Oh Canon 5D, how my husband longs for thee! They were taken by photographer David Wilson. I'm so glad someone got some really great shots!

one more...

Here's a picture that didn't make it into the original batch because of a blogger error message it kept giving me.



Nice right?

And here's another for good measure:

Mawwiage! (sic)

I. Am. Married. And it's glorious. I hope to write a more in depth blog about the wedding, the Barthelona, and the return, but for now I just want to share some pictures from the "photo booth" section of our wedding. Genius, by the by.

Can I just say that Carter Rose and Ryan Thompson are dang amazing?! All of the photos below are courtesy of Dallas In Focus. I feel no shame in saying that we had the best photographers ever for our wedding. And we got them before their business was booming and we couldn't afford them anymore. *WINK*

Anyhoot, here are some of my favorites.



















































Love 'em. Stay tuned for more blogs with words.
