20 Mar Spring Break In Houston | Austin Boudoir Photography

I am blessed with an incredibly loving, supportive, strong & encouraging husband. Just 3 weeks ago I left town for a week in Vegas for WPPI. He stayed home and held down the fort — with no complaints at all. A few months ago I made plans to drive to Houston (all by myself) during Spring Break to meet some incredible online friends I’ve had for a little more than a year. My hubby fully supported this trip — he took care of our darling boy, Utah, and was nothing but happy about it. He truly is an amazing man. I also had lots of help from my dear friend Emily, as well as my sister Emily. I am so incredibly blessed.

I realized the night before I left for my little 3 day trip that I had never gone on a trip all by myself. And it was exciting and a bit scary! But more exciting.

Here’s what I had to say as I sat in the parking lot of BJ’s in Houston, almost on my way back home.

I had a blast!

I met these friends because I put myself out there. I introduced myself via private message. I made sure to speak up & give my opinion & advice in boudoir forums. I shared my work. I asked questions. I made myself part of the community.

That’s all it takes, folks. Put yourself out there. Meet people. Learn new things. Experience life. Have fun!
