Meet Kylar. He is the newest addition to the Lawson household. I have known Julie, Kylar’s mom, for almost six years now. I meet Julie when I worked at Gene Messer Toyota and we have remained friends. I have been able to photograph her niece and nephew as well. Being a photographer as made it possible for me to watch their children grow and their lives change. I truly love my job. I get to participate in other’s happiest moments in life and who could really ask for anything more.
My little nieces came over last night to play and eat supper. They showed up in their dress up clothes… (I don’t think they ever take them off)…ha-ha! They decided to turn my studio into a performance stage. These are some pictures of them singing Lady Gaga, Beyonce and some Barbie song I had never heard. It was the cutest thing. John and I also got a picture from Jenna that she drew of John, me and her camping out. How sweet is that…it is now so proudly taped to the fridge…yes…taped…ha-ha!

I would love to be a world traveler. The idea of seeing as many places as I can in my lifetime sounds glamorous. I had the opportunity to spend 10 extremely fun days in Mexico this past week. I soaked up every moment of it, but it was so good to come home. Glamorous trips or not, it is great to sleep in your own bed. We flew in to Mexico City on Friday and spent the next two days there exploring and touring some incredible architecture. On Sunday we headed down to Puebla and spent the remainder of the trip there. We worked alongside the architecture students at Universidad de las Americas and they showed us around the city. Here are some of the images from all our adventures. There is a ton…enjoy!

Well, I have some awesome news…I am goinig to Mexico! I will be leaving in the morning at 5:15am…yikes…and getting to Mexico City about 11am. I have always wanted to go to Mexico City and explore so when it came time for me to register for my final Architecture Studio I chose the one with an awesome trip!! I will be going with a group of eight, so don’t worry, we will be safe. I will be back on the 14th…I know…10 DAYS!! You better believe I will have a ton of images to show off when I get back.
If any of you need to talk to me while I am out of the country the best bet would be email. I will have my phone with me but service will probably be limited. Have a great weekend and week…Adios!!!
Dear El Nino,
I do love to photograph your beauty, but you have destroyed my favorite tree! Please have mercy on our natural landscape and go into hibernation for a while. Thanks, Sara =)
These are a few images I took of the latest winter snow that came through our part of the world. Enjoy!
My HAPPY dog, Rascal.
Rock, waiting for his meal to be served.

So the other day…in the midst of the snow storm…my husband came in my office and said, “You should go take some pictures outside in the snow.” I replied,” I know, it’s beautiful outside, I think I will.” Immediately after I finished my sentence I got a text message from one of my best friends ever, Sarah! It said, and I quote, “Want to go take pictures in the snow? I can be the fat snowman!” Ha-ha…I was so excited and eagerly responded with an,” Absolutely!!” So, with a little schedule rearranging, we met up Friday afternoon for a cold and snowy photo shoot!! It was a blast to get to photograph Sarah, especially since she is going in today to have her little man…yet to be named! Yes folks, Sarah is three days away from having a baby and she looks this incredibly gorgeous. I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had getting to hangout with Sarah the other day. We have been best friends since high school and I am so glad we are able to stay in touch after all these years. Love you Sarah and I will be thinking about you the next few days…can’t wait to meet the little man!
