I have great news! …. over a month later.

This summer has been absolutely insanely busy! This summer was full of family time and work. We spent A LOT of time in Abilene. I have spent even more time working in Lubbock this summer. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you already know the exciting news. If not, this is the purpose of today’s blog…. On July 4th, Luis asked me…

Updates and TV Obsessions.

My goals to photograph more in 2015 hasn’t started off great. For the past couple of weeks, Austin weather has mirrored Seattle. It’s been cold, rainy and miserable. Hopefully this weekend I can venture out and photograph. Rocker and Ryder need new photos, and I’m sure everyone wants to see more photos of pets. I have started going back to Crossfit.  I follow the…

Goals 2015.

I’m embarrassed. It has been 4 months since I have posted a blog. That is pretty pathetic. When I first started Photostar Photography, I would plan to post at least twice a week and keep my photography active. Years later it is sad to see that isn’t the case. Seeing my depleting blog and the lack of photos I’ve taken this year makes me…

CampLEAD 2014

At the end of July, our office at Texas Tech University put on a leadership and development camp called CampLEAD. This was my second year attending this camp and this year I brought my camera to document. Last year, we had about 45 students attend. The camp was so successful and amazing that this year we had about 170 kids attend! The students were…

Road Trip # 1 to LBK.

This fall, Luis and I will be traveling 7 times to Lubbock before December 1st. We decided to buy season tickets to watch all 6 home games of Red Raider football, and this past weekend was trip number 1! We drove in Friday afternoon and spent some time in his hometown of Levelland. His dad is a farmer, so we met up with him,…

Whiskey Myers- Nutty Brown Cafe

About a month ago Whiskey Myers played the KOKE FM Free Music Series at Nutty Brown Cafe. I was fortunate enough to photograph my favorites that night! Here are some photos I captured. If you haven’t already, go download their new record: Early Morning Shakes. Rock On! ~ Jalys.  

Luis’ CrossFit Competition! #mandate

I’ve neglected my blog lately. I’ve been on a constant running pace with my personal and work life for the past year. There are days where I just go home and sleep after work because I’m so exhausted. I have a million intentions of photographing and blogging again, but then I get slammed with work.  A few weeks ago Luis had a CrossFit competition…

Docs, Greenhouse and Texas Stars!

This past weekend, we had a normal Austin weekend. We spent Saturday afternoon on SOCO (South Congress for you non-Austinites) and had some drinks at this place called Docs. I’ve loved this place for a LONG time. It’s super chill, food is wonderful (try the fried pickles), and the beer is cold. After we hung out there for a few hours, we made a…

DFW Road Trip!

This past weekend my boyfriend and I went up to DFW to get out of town for a couple of days. We both haven’t been to a Texas Rangers game, so we met up with one of his roommates from Tech and crossed it off the list! We started out Saturday morning driving to Fort Worth (Fort Wheezy as Luis said ALL day Saturday) and went…

Lonestar Round Up

This past Saturday, I finally had a free day to spend with the boyfriend. Yes, friends, I have a boyfriend! Luis’ old college roommate from Tech came into town this past weekend. We went to the Travis Expo Center and spent the day looking at cars, I was so bummed that I didn’t bring my camera! Luckily I had my iPhone, so I went…
