Hi, I’m Kristin. 👋🏻

AKA kbedz, Kris, Kristi, Krissy, Kristin

Keep reading if you are bored at work, need a distraction, or truly want to know more about me.

I'm a West Texas, Catholic girl. NOW. (I wasn't always.) I live in Lubbock, Texas, and came here for love and never left. Yes. I married my college sweetheart and still buy bridal magazines. I know. I know. SO DANG CHEESY! But I can't help myself. Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, Guideposts (gift from Mom) In Style, and Vogue grace my monthly stash as well.

I adore photographing emotional moments and actually consider that my drug of choice. It's just addicting, watching people in love interact and enjoy life and each other. When people are REAL, when they are naked to their emotions, when they show how they really feel? It's just a wonderful thing.

We own a liquor store. (The Bull Stop in Slaton, Texas) and no, I can't get you a discount on liquor for your wedding reception. If you are in Slaton, I encourage you to stop and say hello. If it's a Monday, there's a good chance I'm there. We make a kick-ass cherry lime. Well, worth the stop!

I love movies, but I can't remember movie lines or jokes. I like to hear them and you know when you get with your friends and you laugh until your tummy hurts? That's my favorite thing to do. We owned a video store, (think mom + pop style), for the first 22 plus years of our marriage. (yes, I married at age 12. -snort-)

Things I've watched and developed an addiction to: Grey's Anatomy, Friday Night Lights, Sex and the City, Gilmore Girls, Call the Midwife, The Walking Dead, and yep. I'll admit it, even The Kardashians. I know, shaking my head in shame on that last one. Oh, wait! Friends! I have the entire set on DVD. Did I mention that we used to own a video store? You know, back in the day.

I love the beach! I grew up summers in Long Beach, CA and it's the one place on earth I feel totally at peace and relaxed. There's always something going on inside my heart, my brain, my body. The beach reconnects them all. It's my happy place. I don't get there near enough.

Music makes me happy. I'm currently addicted to Apple Music. Have you tried it? HELLO! Seriously worth the money each month. Oh, and Podcasts. My Favorite Murder is my "go to".

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. The walls, the books shelves, your wallet, your iPhone. I just love hearing people talk about their photos. In fact, keep scrolling and I'll share a few of my favorites. I really need to hire a photographer to make some photographs of me and my family.

Love Does,
Kristin

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

selfie

I’m the world’s worst about having my picture taken. This is the most recent photo I have of me that is OK to show online.

My family

in Austin recently. They are my favorite humans to breathe with.

We've changed a bit...

In Austin again. Can you tell I LOVE Austin?

Devin + Me

We’ve been married since 1991. Is that right? Holy Smokes!

My BFF Toni

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

Martha

so is this lady right here? She’s the “Marth” of our 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 given with a teaspoon of sugar of course. (wink). BEST ROAD TRIP PERSON ever!!!!

Kanga Roo Bednarz

Taken shortly after we got her. She’s my office mate, my walking mate.

Kanga

in an ice storm. Isn’t she pretty?

Bridgette and 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.

Saddleclub

We built a BIG ASS house once and this is the gallery wall in the game room. I loved add my kid’s sports pictures to this wall.

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

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...2015

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. They both live in Cali.

my beautiful sister

I love them, so.

laughing

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?

my girls

This was taken several years ago. We need to do this again.

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 harder with. Probably because she gets my corny jokes. Not sure what that says about her? Or me? 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.
