Honestly, I know NOTHING about flowers, I have no “green thumb” at all, but I love to photograph them whenever I can. I think the fragility of flowers is intriguing seeing as different flowers need different things to survive, like people. They’re beautiful, bright and full of life when nurtured and die when neglected. Like people, they have a cycle.
I have a Magnolia tree in my front yard, and I have tried to get this very picture for about 3 years, with no luck until now. Magnolias are so fragile and quick to bloom and quick to die, you have to almost sit next to the tree to catch the full bloom. It’s not just catching the bloom that is amazing, it’s catching the bloom without the dreaded brown spots all over them that is the trick. I love this picture so much that I made several different versions of it so when I print it off to hang on my wall, I can print several versions for the collage frame. I love the blueish version so much, I am making it my official logo.

Hi there, I’m Beth!
This site is my world, my travels, my food and my thoughts, in pictures. I am a Photographer, and a Graphic Designer, doing what I love and living in one of the most beautiful places in all of the world, Texas!
Honestly, the field of Photography is so vast, and there is always something new to learn, so that title of “Professional” will be a fun, yet challenging goal to obtain. I have always loved photography and I’ve always loved to write so this is my perfect combo. The old adage is, “A picture is worth a thousand words”, this is true, but if you are anything like me, you want that little bit more behind what the photographer’s thoughts were at the time. That little extra is what I want this site to accomplish. I will also chronicle my time learning everything as I go along, which should be quite interesting in its own right. I am hoping that maybe I can ease someone else’s fears no matter what they decide to jump into. Because, when diving head first into anything new, it can be a lonely road to walk alone.
I have lived all over the United States from North Carolina, to California, and from Illinois, and finally resting here in Houston, Texas. What started as a vacation to the Houston area turned out to be the best move we have ever made. Before my feet ever hit the pavement, I knew I was “home”. When your soul is at peace everything in life becomes clearer and less confusing, so that alone, I know will help when conveying what I need to say here.
I am not “PC” by any means, this is real life, real thoughts, real experiences, and real photos. All photos were taken by myself, all are copyrighted, and I will always set out to use as minimal editing as possible. I feel that, too much editing takes away from the photo and also from the photographer, and their skills. If you have any questions or comments about my photos or posts or if you would like to purchase a print of mine, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for visiting, happy scrolling, and don’t forget to hit the FOLLOW button!
