My kids call me K-Money. HA! Fully grown adults, I still send them money every once in a while, just to keep the nickname.

I have a few nicknames:

AKA kbedz, Kris, Kristi, Krissy, Kristin

I adore photographing

emotional moments

and actually consider that

my drug of choice.

I love podcasts & music.

My Favorite Murder is my “go to”.

I'm a West Texas, Catholic girl. NOW.

(I wasn't always.)

I love movies, but I can't

remember movie lines or jokes.

We owned a video store,

for the first 22 plus years of our marriage.

I ADORE looking at

people's photos. Like really looking

at them. It's the first thing

I do when I arrive at their house.

I live in Lubbock, Texas,

and came here for love and never left.

We own a liquor store.

The Bull Stop in Slaton, Texas

No, I can’t get you a discount on liquor

for your wedding reception.

I LOVE watching

people in love

interact and enjoy life and each other.

I married my college sweetheart and

still buy bridal magazines.

I know. I know.

SO DANG CHEESY!

I love the beach!

I grew up summers in Long Beach, CA

When people are REAL,

when they are naked to their emotions,

when they show how they really feel?

It's just a wonderful thing.

Self Portrait

Seal Beach, 2019 • It’s my happy place. I love the beach!!!

my family

my favorite humans to breathe with.

my family, again

we've changed a bit since this photo was made. We are in Austin here. Can you tell I LOVE Austin?

devin + me

We’ve been married since 1991. Is that right? Holy Smokes! That’s a long time. Looks like we are going to “make it” as they say. Folks around these parts call him “Bull”.

"Martha", aka, Julie.

This lady right here? She’s the “Martha” of my friends group. The go to for all party advice, society of life advice…really anything. But in more recent years? CLOSE. We share a lot of the same values and snarky comments, all spoken with a splash of sugar of course. BEST TRAVEL BUDDY ever!!!!

toni + me

My BFF! She’s my person. My partner in crime, my ride or die.

sweet baby kanga

Kanga Roo Bednarz. Taken shortly after we got her. She was my office mate, my walking mate, my shadow. She passed away June of 2022. I miss her so.

kanga, again.

She loved her walks! This was made on a walk in our neighborhood at the time, Saddleclub. Isn’t she pretty?

bridgette + me

Christmas 2013, I’m guessing. This was the year of my “bad ass”. Go ahead and search that here on this site if you truly want to know.

Bednarz Casa

We remodeled our farmhouse and moved “back to the farm” in 2018. I love it out here. THIS IS HOME

mom + kim + me

Just the 3 of us. My parents divorced when I was 8? Maybe? How old is one in 3rd grade? Anyway, we lived with our mom and this is her looking all groovy, along with my older sister, Kim. I have no idea why I’m holding my hands like that.

just the 3 of us

This was taken a few years back when I used to wear my hair like Pink. I thought it would carry over onto my body as well, but no luck. Mom suffers from a lung disease, no she never smoked, and she’s on oxygen. My sister lives in Long Beach, CA. Mom? She moved in with me in 2022.

kalyn marie + jack

Laughter is one of my favorite things to capture in people. I truly believe we were created in His image for JOY. It’s a hard life. We need to laugh more. This is Kalyn, my oldest and my nephew, Jack.

my office at saddleclub

I LOVED this office! I think it’s the only thing I miss from that house. Wait…I had a pretty awesome kitchen and closet as well. And then there’s the pool…what were you saying?

more of my girls

GO LONGHORNS!

Yep. She’s a Longhorn! Yet recently started working for Texas Tech. It’s hard to take the 806 out of the girl. Super proud of this girl!!!

and this one

She’s a TCU Hornfrog alumni and a CPA working in Dallas. AMAZING hair and the one in the family that I laugh the hardest with. Probably because she gets my corny jokes. Not sure what that says about her? Or me? either way…SUPER PROUD!!!

see, laughter

This is my niece Brooke. She works for Baylor in Sports Media. I love how her eyes disappear when she’s smiling. We used to call her “Kiwi head” when she was little. Super white blonde fur covering all her noggin.

sweet caroline

You don’t always have to see the people you love everyday, but the love you have for these people is there everyday. This lady is someone I look up to, think about often and truly treasure.

WAGS

and so are these ladies. I look short and old. Maybe I am? In my head, I’m 25, young, thin and BLONDE.
