so then they say-sothentheysay.com

I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.

It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.

I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.

I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.

A complete List of Girls Names

I never thought I would have to chose so many different girl names. Truth be told, I always thought if I ever became a mother, I would be a boy mom. Isnt that a bit laughable now? Well, fate would have it I am a girl mom, three times over. And because of that, I have compiled a pretty solid list of girl names. Below is a section of names I created and then a list of names I had you all submit to me on Instagram. I hope it helps any other moms out there needing that perfect little girl name.

The Find Whereabouts: Dallas, TX Baby • Cygnet Living

I started following Cygnet Living a few months ago on Instagram. It is no surprise that I adore classic clothing for children. I am happy to spend money on pieces that are quality and timeless. Cygnet is exactly that. The way the monogram their pieces is so exquisite. I cant properly explain how beautiful each piece is, all I can say is for you to check them out yourself. shop Cygnet here

• The Three Swimsuits I Love

Searching for a swimsuit is daunting, especially post baby. For my recent trip I purchased so many options that did not work. It was so discouraging. I finally found three that I really liked and are worthy of sharing! You can check out the swimsuits and read the post by clicking here.

2.12.21 Q A

Wearing Sue Sartor Limited Edition Paloma dress (proceeds from this dress go toward the Ronald McDonald House)

Q: Was this baby planned?
A: HELL.NO. I had a five month old when I found out, so I only just started feeling like life was getting back to normal. Truth is, none of my babies were planned. I know that sounds like a joke, but it is 100% true. The only pregnancy I was semi ready for we ended up losing in a miscarriage. Like my other babies, this one was a total shock, but I know it is the biggest blessing.

Q: Are you sharing gender/Do you have a feeling of what it will be?
A: I will. I find out soon and will probably live in the moment for a few days and then share. I believe it is a girl. I have felt like this the entire time. Also, three sisters is so special, so we shall see.

Q: How far apart will your kids be?
A: Eleanor will be 3 years older and Eloise will be 14 months older.

Q: Bathing suits for large chest?
A: My Favorites will always be from Karla Colletto. I also want to try Shoshanna as that brand is good for curvy girls.

Q: Favorite tablescape decor?
A: If I could recommend one thing to buy first it would be a beautiful tablecloth or these $15 rattan chargers. Each one will elevate even the most simple plate.

Q: Everyday jewelry essentials?
A: I am the worst person to ask because I keep my jewelry very simple. The pieces I never take off include my husbands family crest pinky ring (one of my most special pieces), a gold wedding band, two tennis bracelets given to me by my in-laws representing each granddaughter, and my new Couplet Les Perles bracelet.

Q: Any home buying advice?
A: I dont know where you live but my one advice is to not sit on a house you love. In Dallas homes move really fast and there is nothing worse than losing out on the home you had your heart set on. However, I 10000% BELIEVE everything works out the way it is supposed to. Also, trust your gut and hire a good realtor (we worked with Raul Ruiz and loved him).

Q: Anything you will do differently for your 3rd pregnancy/3rd kid?
A: This is super hard to say but I am sure I will. Each kid has been so different. With Eleanor I was beyond strict with a schedule, sleep training, etc. With Eloise I was looser. I still stuck to a schedule but I was more relaxed. However, she is by no means as good of a sleeper as Eleanor so maybe I go back to be strict? Or maybe I am even more lenient. I know this is our last baby so I have a very strong feeling I will relish each stage even more. But being the third baby in my family, I know I had a different experience than my siblings, so I am pretty positive this baby will too. Third babies are the best!

Q: Did you like Olaplex?
A: The shampoo #4 and Conditioner #4 are very nourishing. I like the way my hair feels if I use it and then style my hair. It looks so healthy and full however, I dont think the wash lasts as long (I think my hair gets oilier faster). A lot of you recommended the Olaplex #3 treatment. I do really like that when I remember to use it. I hate that it has to sit in your hair for 10 min+. I want to shower and get out. I dont linger so that is the only turn-off.

Q: Favorite Dallas restaurant for a night out with friends?
A: I am always partial to Drakes, Shinsei, or Hudson House

at home • The Placemat

I recently went to a lunch at a beautiful home in Punta Cana. The table was set to perfection, which had me realizing I needed to up my placemat game! These Deborah Rhodes placemats were the same we ate on that day (except in green). I purchased the natural color immediately and am now wanting the pale pink! They are GORGEOUS! buy them here

Outfits • $14 Statement Earring

All of a sudden I have such a love for statement earrings. Since I dress pretty minimal I have found that it can add the pop my outfits often need. I absolutely love these sparkly earrings from Bauble Bar. They look like they are $50 but are on sale for $14! shop them here

Outfits • The Kids Sweater

I bought this for Eleanor a few months ago and received so many questions. But what I really want to know, does it come in my size? It is the sweetest little kids sweater and I cant wait to dress Eleanor in it. It would also make for the perfect gift! shop it here

The Haves and The Have Nots: Tablescape Edition

Sacha Lottie London Bamboo Cutlery I just ordered a set of this for myself. I think cutlery is the easiest way to up your tablescape game. It can be quite expensive, however, the price point on this bamboo set is hard to beat.Jean Roger Ceramic Candlestick I love adding height to my table by using candlesticks. I have had my eye on these for a while. I usually use antique candlesticks I find on Etsy but I am loving the funkiness of these.Love Shack Fancy La Vie en Rose tablecloth I have had this tablecloth in my cart for probably six months and never pulled the trigger. I finally purchased it for a baby shower I am hosting. I cant wait for it to arrive tomorrow.Pomelo Casa Azul Small Pitcher I have this and love it. The pitcher is so cute and adds a fun pop to any table. I especially love to fill it with lemonade by the pool in the summer.Atelier Saucier Lunchbox Linens I am dying to get these for Eleanor. My husband grew up only using cloth napkins and I love that. She starts going to school five days a week next year. How cute would these be in her lunchbox?Mercedes Salazar Circular Pineapple Tray I love what Mercedes creates. Every item just screams summer. Williams Sonoma La Porcellana Bianca Firenze Dinner Plates I actually just bought these and the matching salad plate. I could think of so many different tables I wanted to create using them. And for the price I couldnt say no. A pretty white plate is always a must in your china cabinet.Laboratorio Parvicini Swallow Play Dinner Plates I have been dreaming of these plates for a looong time. One day, one day I will have them in my cabinet.Williams Sonoma Heart Dinner Plate I just purchased these. Not only would they be so cute for Valentines day but also for a girls lunch or couples dinner party. I think matching them with funky glassware and fun name cards would make them less Valentines and more fun.Gmundner Keramik Alpine Flowers Set of 6 Dessert plate I am a sucker for anything with the name Alpine in it. It reminds me of all the amazing lunches and dinners al fresco at my in-laws. Which makes me really happy.Summerill Bishop Bespoke Handblown Tumbler I have had my eye on these for a long time. I am planning to pull the trigger soon so I can have them before summer. I am dying to put naughty French words on each of them.Cabana Capri • Gstaad Set Of 2 Floral Placemat + Napkin Set I love blue and white and I LOVE Gstaad. It has been a city Brice and I have visited numerous times and it always makes me happy. I just wish I could use these in our chalet in Gstaad. Oh to dream!Hibiscus Linen Monogrammed Kitchen Towel We need new kitchen towels desperately. I love the coloring and personalization of these. Simple, functional, and beautiful.Williams Sonoma Vintage Etched Goblet I own this style glass in clear goblet and it is by far my most used glass. I loved the pink of this one but I have a similar style and color already so I opted for this tumbler instead.Atelier Saucier Blush/Orange Linen napkins I love mixing funky napkin with a more serious table. Adding playful touches to a table makes it youthful, inviting, and relaxes your guest for a fun evening ahead.Ginori 1735 Oriente Italiano Azalea Dinner Plate These were on my wishlist for a long time and my husband finally let me buy them for my Christmas gift this year. He thinks I have an obnoxious amount of plates so it took a bit of convincing. They are so beautiful and I love all of the different color ways. I am counting down the days until they arrive.Von Gern Home Striped Lacquered Placemat I own these and love them. The lacquer on them is not only insanely beautiful but they are also very practical. They are easy to clean and make for a very fun table. I find myself using them a lot for our family dinners (hello toddler life).Houses and Parties Champagne Bucket and Stand Every summer I say I am going to buy a champagne bucket and stand, and every summer goes by and I still dont own one. This year, I am not making the mistake. I love the simplicity and classic design of this one.Petite Party Hand Painted Taper Candle I have a girl crush on Ally. She is so fun and I love everything she comes up with, like these candles. They are stunning! They would be gorgeous with my Love Shack Fancy linen.D. Porthault Coeur Laminated Trays I have wanted a nightgown from D. Porthault for the longest time. I havent pulled the trigger yet but I did purchase their laminated trays. I bought one small pink and one small blue for the girls bathrooms. Fo myself, I purchased the large pink heart which I plan to use for my friends baby shower and for the girls birthday parties going forward.LouLou La Dune Astral Linen Placemats I love anything LouLou La Dune does. Their placemats are exquisite. They are on the pricer side so I am still saving up for some but when I finally have my LouLou La Dune Piggybank full, I want this set! Back to the top
