Dallas Wedding Photographer – Catie Ronquillo Photographer bio picture

Smile. Laugh. Have Fun.

I love laughing until your face hurts. Or until you cry. That's a sign of a GOOD laugh.

I love big earrings and matching them to my outfit. Always.

I love Disney Movies, my iPhone, my dogs, and cake. Not necessarily in that order.

I love hanging out, catching up with friends, and watching movies.

I love my husband. We just tied the knot July 18, 2009!

I'd love to have fun with you!

And Cassie rocking it out in the cold. Seriously. It was like 40 degrees. Ok, Texas cold.

Happy Birthday, Love!

Two weeks out of the year he gets to call me his P.O.T. Think P.Y.T. but replace “young” for it’s opposite that starts with an “O”.

That’s right, I married a younger man. By two whole weeks. And the weird thing is that we are exactly fourteen days apart.

And I’m in Las Vegas right now, nerding it up with fellow photographers, so I’m missing his actual birthday. But I’ve already given him his gift, and I surprised him this year too, SCORE! So we’ll be celebrating yet again when I get home in a few days. And he gets to play all the video games he wants on the flat screen.

Here’s Cent with his granny on our wedding day. LOVE that big grin.

I apologize in advance, if my scary/excited/celebrating face scares anyone.

Happy Birthday, Love! I love you and I’m thankful everyday that our paths crossed in Orlando, almost five years ago. Although I’m not with you on your birthday, it can be like old times catching up on the phone, since we are kind of out of practice these days. Can’t wait to get home to see your shining smile.

The Chair

We’ve been living in our house for about five months. And one of the fabulous things about our house is that I have an office. A space dedicated to my business and all my photography related stuff. So you know, I don’t leave it all over the living room.

Well, I only started using my office last week.

And we only put my desk together about four weeks ago.

While I’m not giving reasons about not using my office sooner, I am here to stress the importance of a good chair.

You see, after my desk was ready to go and became a landing spot for laptops, pens, and notebooks, I couldn’t work at it because I didn’t have a chair. And I wanted to stop having an excuse for not using my office. Because up until that point, I was using the living room as an office. And hunching over my new desk or kneeling on tiles didn’t seem like a very conducive way to work.

So I ventured out to one of my favorite stores, Target. I know, Target isn’t Office Chair Central, but I needed a chair, and while I’m saving up for a swanky, cushy office chair, I figured I could just do with a regular metal folding chair.

I started working in my office yesterday and after about an hour of editing, my butt cried, “Uncle!” and forced me to get up. Seriously, this metal chair is like sitting on the tile floor. Hard. And not butt friendly.

I should have at least purchased the padded metal folding chair. But at $9.99, what was I to expect?

The tag should have said, “Comfort not included.”

One day, I’ll have my chair.

03.08.2010 - 12:04 pm Regina Lynn - Yes, when I grow up and have a real photography business and the office/studio to match, I am SO investing in a nice, ergonomic, and comfy office chair!
