Herb Garden

Sorry I have been neglecting our little blog. However, I have launched my very own photography blog/website and business. To check it out go to: www.wrennbirdphotography.com

This weekend Arturo and I created a really cute container herb garden. We got the idea from Lucy, Arturo's aunt, who found it in a Martha Stewart magazine. However, we took it to another level and created it with old vintage things we had around the house.  Check out the pictures on at www.wrennbirdphotography.com

Have a wonderful day!

Lauren and Clint - Engagements

I know, I know it has been forever since I have blogged anything, but life is just getting in the way!


I had the honor to photograph Lauren and Clint's engagement session on Sunday afternoon. I am so looking forward to their wedding this summer! Lauren worked with Arturo as a student and now is a fellow grad student with Arturo. She and I have become friends, and I have to say that she is one cool chick! Clint is not too bad either...he loves and adores Lauren and that makes him a winner in my book.

Below are my top ten favorites from the session.






















Aren't they the cutest thing! I had so much fun. Thank you Lauren and Clint for letting me take your picture on Sunday! Can't wait until the big day!

Spring Fever...

So this beautiful weather is giving me Spring Fever and with Spring Fever I have the itch to clean, organize and redo.


Since Arturo is in the thick of calving season out at the Cow/Calf Unite we are not able to travel to see family over the Easter weekend. I love calving season, but I hate when it gets in the way of my weekend plans. But, hey, that is part of being married to a stockman and I would not have it any other way!

So here is my to-do list on this Easter weekend:

1. Swap winter clothes to spring/summer clothes. Clean out my closet and reorganize.

2. Clean house; including scrubbing baseboards and walls. I am going to get serious about it. I might even take all my blinds down and wash them with the water hose.

3. Start seeds for the garden. This should have been done a couple of weeks ago.

4. Start projects to finish this spring/summer. Arturo and I's spring/summer project is to finish projects that we have started and some that we said we would do and have not gotten too. These would be: cabinets doors for the laundry room; paint the patio furniture; paint the front door; build a window box for the front window; paint pots for the back patio; paint iron head and foot board and a few more that I cannot think of right now.

5. Play photographer...last weekend was busy with family and friends and I did not get to pick up my camera much; so this weekend I want to snap away. Maybe I will take pictures of all the unfinished projects and post them for you to see our progress as we go in to the spring/summer!

I saw this wall color on this blog and it makes me want to paint a room! Arturo might kill me though if I decided to paint a whole room...maybe I will just wait until we move to our dream house. I will just file it away until then!


What is your Easter weekend plans?

I hope this warm weather is giving you spring fever too...enjoy the day!

Torres Family

A couple of weekends ago I got the privilege to photograph the beautiful, Torres family. See what you think of my attempt to photograph people.


I took these this last Saturday. I also got a chance to take some of the Wileman family. I will post those later this week.  Stayed tuned!


Here is the whole gang...the Torres family and the Wileman family.
