I just can’t wait any longer…

I have been running ragged shooting and editing these last few weeks, but I just can’t wait. I have to put up one teensy, intsy peak to kick off the start of several new posts to come…

Here are some of the posts that are in the pipeline:

The Finch Family

Jenny’s Bump

The Summerour Family

Jennifer and Landry are Engaged!

Also, I wanted to let everyone know about a new promotion… Every client that has 20 comments posted on their blog entry by their friends and family will receive a free 8×10 print of their choice. So get the word out!

I have been out of touch for a while…but there is good reason for that. For those that don’t know, Chris and I got married a few weeks ago and it was an amazing night.

But, this isn’t about that. This is about the Mariachis, well, one Mariachi in particular. We took Chris’ family to San Antonio to see the river walk, the Alamo and then to the Mercado. (I had to make sure my mother in law and aunt walked away with some Mexican pottery you know).

It was closing time and we sat out in the almost abandoned square, enjoying the warm sun. A Mariachi band walked past and the fellas decided to surprise their gals with a serenade.

So I sat there, between my mother in law and Aunt Mary listening to the most beautiful song being played just for us.

But this guitar player caught my eye.

I loved his gorgeous wrinkles and the look in his eyes.

I loved the wisdom that just seemed to radiate outwards. You wanted to hear his life stories‚Ķbecause I am sure he has many to tell. 

But it was when I saw his hands that my heart melted.

Those were my Popo’s hands. I sort of felt like I was staring at his lost Mexican brother (very fitting, my Popo was a short Sicilian).

It was a beautiful reminder.

I think this was his way of letting me remember him, to let me know that he was there at our wedding.

Don’t you! The weekend is over, the To-Do list seems overwhelming, and darnit, I really don’t want to get out of my cozy bed.

If ‘Monday’ were a person that I could meet…I think I would give it this face!

But, then… as the day moves on and I sit down to the computer and start editing photos from Friday’s shoot … I get to stare at this little precious face…

and I can’t help but smile!

Happy Monday everyone!
