Welcome to part three of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. The first month we photographed food, then we styled a table setting. This month’s theme is wall vignette. For this challenge, I wanted to create something fun, preferably textured, and that got me thinking about a Basket Wall Display. I initially toyed with the idea of creating a…
How We Had Fun This Summer

A Pretty Table Setting & Photography Styling Challenge #2

Day Trip to Lost Maples State Natural Area
Fall is such a beautiful time. Not so hot and not cold yet. And if you happen to live in a place where the trees burst with fall colors, its like living inside a painting. Not so much in Texas! So, one fine morning last November, we went in search of some fall color. The…
