From the moment I laid eyes on this butterfly garden set smack in the middle of the town park in Fredericksburg, Texas, I felt like I was 6 years old and it was Christmas morning. I am not the nature type or even a person with a green thumb, but I love to photograph all of it. Butterflies, in particular, fascinate me because of the changes that they go through in their span of life. Butterflies represent what I believe we all go through to learn over our lifetime. We all learn, we all grow, we evolve, and hopefully, in the end, we all know the meaning of peace and transformation and the purpose of it.
When I stumbled upon this Butterfly Garden I was shocked because it wasn’t controlled, or artificial, it was out in the open, in a park, free to the public, and there were hundreds of butterflies. With the peace and serenity that washed over me as I walked up to it, it’s one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited.

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!
