I had the pleasure of working with DataXport while we were still in El Paso (actually still editing a few of the photos I took the week we moved), and thought I'd post a bit of the commercial photography I've done for them part time since November (you may have seen some of it if you checked out their website [ www.dataxport.net ] once it was pretty much reworked).



This is mama Beatriz, kinda because she reminds me of my own mother in so many ways, and partially because even if she didn't she's got maternal down. I really enjoyed sharing her office with her when I made office visits. You may remember the photos of her daughters a couple of months back (amazing kids).





This is Emma, my lunch buddy. Lunch isn't the same at all without you. Jorge, Beatriz' husband, is above. He's pretty fab too (but eats lunch Way too late for me).

This I took right after the bar exam (the last day & last section)...or really during it- while everyone else was still writing fantastic essays, I was taking the 45mm perspective for a walk. That's why I thought I failed. I didn't have anything else to write about whatever it was re:Texas law I was supposed to be writing & left half way (not exagerating) through the alloted three hour session (leaving behind the shortest ever essays in bar exam history). Before anyone else. I'm pretty sure the proctors, as I was walking out, gave me an "I'm so sorry you've failed look" for leaving that early. But, I figured, no sense in sitting around (in a windowless room with frantic scribblers) torturing myself- I had my camera with me.




That's not all, but I think 13's a lucky number on which to end. Baby update: still hanging in there- I'll hit 13 weeks on Thursday & the nausea isn't so vicious these days...still a bit of a vegetarian (as in I can eat a little meat before the thought of more repulses me). House update: still homeless & I shouldn't write that since we are blessed enough to have family to live with while the hunt continues and continues. I really am ready to settle & so I try to counter that by counting blessings because we are definitely blessed. So far we've put an offer in on one house (Thursday night) but the seller's agent won't respond to calls. The only other option is really too small, even if it is gorgeous. If this keeps up (as in no suitable home in our price range listed by a Professional agent hits the market), we'll be Chris Farley & the Rogers St. house will be our little coat. The guest room would have to be a sleeper couch in the living room.
Mostly, I'm impatient because the boys & I drive A Lot with all this back & forth to Waxahachie. I feel like that mom who locks the kid(s) in the dark closet for long periods of time. Only I lock them in their booster seats & I'm in there with them & it may or may not be dark. ...and it costs me $10 an hour. That's about all that's going on these days- next post up: wedding photos :)! Hope your respective summers are going well. Love, Sara
