Oh holy—Another Friday the 13th.  I am SOOO glad I’m not superstitious… or even a little stitious. (Thanks, William!)

It’s time for another installment of Fame & Shame.  There’s so much to complain about and be thankful for this time around, I didn’t know where to start.

Shame

  • RV Plumbing: Without going into a lot of graphic detail, the plumbing on an RV needs to last forever.  It doesn’t need to be replaced… EVER.  And, in the event that it does need to be replaced, it needs to be replaced very easily, efficiently, and quickly!  RV’s also need a “Temporarily Disable Flushing” mechanism.
  • People who Flush Toilets While Other People are Working on the RV Plumbing:  Without going into a lot of graphic detail, these people need to be dropped into a vat of raw sewage… and left there.  Then, maybe they will respect people to are working on the plumbing system of an RV.
  • Rain:  Why you decided to rain so much the week after I left Concan, I’ll never know, but shame on you for this.

Fame

  • Marvin:  Marvin is the nearly-dead, club footed, baby hummingbird I found on the Frio riverbank.  I nursed him along for a-day-and-a-half before leaving the Parkview Riverside RV Park.  Barb, one of the park’s employees, agreed to adopt Marvin for me and continue to rehabilitate him.  Besides being club-footed, Marvin didn’t have enough feathers on his wings to fly.  I hope he’s a fighter and lives long enough to tell all his friends about his experience.  I received this follow-up a few days ago:

Tammy,
Barb says Marvin is doing fine.  She feeds him every few minutes.
Thanks for checking on him.

  • Vacations:  I absolutely don’t know what I would do without the opportunity to check out every now and then.
  • Seven:  Seven is my favorite number.  It was my high school volleyball number.  I had to wait three years for it to finally be available my senior year, but it was so well worth the wait.  Now, Kyanna wears it in softball.  The number seven also appears repeatedly on my business cards—as does the number 16:  Sierra’s softball number.  I always play the Lucky 7s in Vegas.  Coincidentally, this is my seventh installment of Fame & Shame.

Until next time, be positive, be happy, be healthy, and don’t forget to be photographed.

About Ata-Girl

I am a San Antonio-based wedding photographer and I cater to outdoor-loving couples who prefer to have all the realness captured on their wedding days. I am the wedding photographer for the outdoor adventurers, the romantics, the laid back, the snugglers, and those who wish to capture all their realness.

I am absolutely in love with capturing the kinds of weddings where there are more hugs than handshakes, the dance floor rumbles all night long, and chairs are pretty much rendered useless after dinner. Whiskey bottles are passed around, most of the wedding party has been best-best friends since kindergarten, Grams is likely to lose her shoes and your partner is much more emotional than you are. These kinds of weddings are my jam!

You can always call or text, but if you really want to get to know me, schedule a meetup!

I started Ata-Girl Photography Co., LLC in 2010. I firmly believe that the unique set of circumstances I have faced in life has prepared me to take a personal and genuine interest in my photography clients. I enjoy documenting the important milestones and captivating moments in people’s lives. I love being a part of people’s journeys and consider myself privileged to document their legacies.

If you enjoyed this blog post and would like to get your hands on 20 FREE interactive wedding planning tools that every couple needs, please take a moment to access them here.

I am a published author (purchase my book here), a podcast host (listen here) (watch here) and a WPPI-C certified professional, full-time wedding photographer. I specialize in a 10-day image delivery, same-day prints, same-day slideshows, Italian handcrafted wedding albums and I have a mobile meeting space.

When I’m not behind my camera, you can find me hiking, cycling, backpacking, camping, enjoying water sports, listening to music (Elvis and Prince), hunting for arrowheads, reading audiobooks, occasionally eating a few glazed donuts (my only weakness to sweets) and then re-starting my keto diet about every 10 days. The most important things in life are for me to see my two daughters happy and to create a family history my grandparents and grandson would be proud of.
