Fredericksburg, TX is the quintessential sleepy southern country town, where everyone knows everyone, and the whole place shuts down at 9 pm. Nestled right in the middle of the Hill Country Vineyards, the Fredericksburg town theme is German, so having German blood myself, I was eager to try new foods and visit the local attractions with German roots. The town did not disappoint.
The amazing church I took this in is, St. Mary’s Catholic Church, on West San Antonio Street in Fredericksburg. The church began with a handful of German immigrants in 1846 and has since grown to a full and faithful congregation.
From the moment that you step into St. Mary’s the beauty takes your breath away and the most peaceful feeling comes over you. When you first walk in your eyes are immediately drawn to the front of the church, and that is where I found this statue of Jesus hanging on the cross. The whole trip was worth this one shot.

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!
