Biker Chicks Rule! {DFW Photographers}


Had a little fun this weekend doing some "biker" shots with my granddaughter and her cousin. My late husband was a Harley rider and I always wanted to do something with a biker theme in his honor...so I grabbed my two favorite little girls and asked them to make "biker" faces...Gigi couldn't keep the grin on her face but K gave me a hard look!

Hungry-Girl, Yay! {diets}


Well, I am one happy woman, let me just say! I discovered the BEST cookbook last weekend called Hungry Girls' 200 (recipes) under 200 (calories)! I was already doing a lifestyle change for my diabetes and had recently rejoined Weight Watchers online to help me. And it was working. But I was hungry....I am definitely a Hungry Girl! I love food and always will...no supermodel anorexia for me! And I know how hard we women are on ourselves..."I'll do pictures of me when I lose 10 lbs" or "I don't like how I look in photos"...you know all the reasons we don't want to be in the portraits. And family portraits are so important. So ladies, here's a great way to jumpstart losing those pounds we all probably found over the holidays!

So I got this book and devoured it over the weekend...and went shopping on Monday. I sent my "bad" foods home with a friend on Tuesday...see how good I am being? lol Anyway, this book and author takes the stuff we really like to eat (junk food/fast food) and converts the recipes to low fat / low carb / healthy recipes.

Now I am no cook but these are easy! I made one of the breakfasts this morning (see attached image)...OMG...it was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had! Sorry Whataburger! She has a website hungry-girl.com and if you go to youtube and goggle hungry girl you can find tv appearances etc. It's that time of year so I thought I'd pass along a great website! Enjoy!

Playa Del Carmen Mexico {DFW Wedding Photographers}




This Keller photography studio had the pleasure of photographing a wedding this past fall in Playa del Carmen. Wow, gorgeous, gorgeous (but very hot) wedding location. The resort where the wedding was held, was 4 stars and out of this world. The happy couple live in Houston but the bride is the best friend of one of my long time Southlake customers and I'd met the bride several times. It was an honor take wedding pictures of their special day. Although, it was very hard to leave my beautiful suite with hot tub, 4 poster bed, room service...you get the picture.

And speaking of pictures..here's a few from their big day!

Where's Waldo...I mean Cathy? MIA that's where! {Keller Family Photographers Keller Texas}


What the heck happened to me in 2009? Life got very fast tracked there for a bit and my blog got sadly neglected. Like the rest of the world I have made some New Year's Resolutions...eat better, exercise, keep my blogging up to date.

I did get a new grandson in the fall so he has taken some of my attention...he's adorable so its hard to resist him...he has big blue eyes and the sweetest smile. His older sister Gigi has not been jealous at all, what a surprise! So, my apologies on being behind on EVERYTHING...please check back - I promise to make it worthwhile for you. Meantime, meet my gorgeous new grandson.
