As new parents, we quickly learned the importance of taking opportunities to spend quality time together, sans baby. In the time of COVID-19, that has been quite the challenge.

Luckily, we found a moment. We recently took a vacation day to go on a day date to the Houston Museum of Natural Science (that’s right - we actually had to take PTO just to go on a date). Since we’re members of the museum, we try to make it there at least a couple of times a year. (And we cannot wait until we can take Liam to the Butterfly Exhibit!)

This day, we explored Death by Natural Causes which was equally terrifying and fascinating. Additionally, we took a trip to Mars, visited the vast array of Texas Wildlife, and admired the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 55 exhibition.

We ended our date with a fun photography session. Exploring Herman Park and HMNS’s architecture, I gave my husband a brief tutorial about lighting, composition, and how to use my camera. The photos you see of me here and on my About Me page, were taken by my wonderful husband. Not too shabby!
