Train Ride, Photo Sessions & Fish Stew

Another weekend has come and gone, another recap…

Good Friday – Kenny had the day off and I took the afternoon off so we could spend the day together. After a doctor’s appointment for myself, we headed to Hermann Park for a train ride, stopped at the lake to dip our feet (it was a warm day), had some push-pops and walk around a bit (see a couple of pics at the end of the post).

We then headed to the Museum of Fine Arts to see the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist Masterpieces exhibit. The paintings are on loan from the National Gallery of Art (Houston is the only museum that will have them while they renovate the National Gallery). We saw pieces from Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, Manet, Monet, van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and more!

I also loved seeing this much smaller photography exhibit by turn of the century Austrian photographer Heinrich-Kuhn. Wow. So inspirational!

Saturday – I had two sessions that day – a 2 week old newborn and a family session with one of my favorite clients (I photographed one sister’s wedding and the other sister’s holiday family portraits – this was for all three siblings & their families). The family session was funnily enough back in Hermann Park where I was Friday!

Saturday night – Kenny I had an inpromptu date night & had dinner at Reef then stayed to have some drinks next door at 3rd Bar.

Easter Sunday – Had my Mom over for a late lunch/early dinner. She cooked us her fish stew and we cooked beef tenderloins with potatoes au gratin. A relaxing day at home…
