Bucket list.  Life to-do list.  My 101 in 1001.  Whatever you want to call it, it's a never ending quest to better yourself, challenge yourself, and possibly reach out to others.  A few years ago, Bobby and I went out to dinner at Cafe Malaga in downtown McKinney, and made our lists.  A lot of my line items were pretty standard.  A LOT were also VERY random, which shouldn't be a surprise if you know me.  I've got lots of tricks up my sleeves and my mind works in interesting ways...some call it weird;  I prefer original.

One of my more random goals was to photograph Bettye Honerkamp, the owner of Brenham's Pecan Corner, in her workplace.  I've known Bettye since I was in middle school (or possibly before), as she is a loyal and devoted member of the church in which I was raised (can I get a what-what!  BEST CHURCH EVER), Brenham Presbyterian Church.  While I was in town photographing Casey + Billy's wedding and Leah + Corey's family, I thought I'd squeeze in this little side project and cross it off of my list.  So glad the stars aligned and that Millie, Bobby, and my mom got to join in the fun!

Welcome!
I'm so very ecstatic that you decided to join the party.  It is my life's passion to keep you entertained through my photographs of weddings, babies, my family, and pretty much anything that moves me. 

Stick around and become part of the family. 
Come early, come often, leave comments.

You captured the "real Bettye"... the shot of Bettye leaning forward (obviously to talk to Millie) is her standard stance and expression. She is a friend to everyone. jane
