I last saw the Randle family at their newborn session for their youngest and now it was time to document their family and her 1st birthday! Huge milestones 🙂 We met out for an early morning session at the McNay museum and did a mix of family pictures, sibling and ended it with a cake smash! 🙂 San Antonio Newborn Photographer, San Antonio Maternity Photographer, San Antonio Family Photographer, San Antonio Cake Smash Photographer, Newborn Photographer, Maternity Photographer, Family Photographer, Baby Photographer, San Antonio Photographer, Krystal Garcia Photography

If a competition existed for newborn lashes, this baby & big sister would win! I kept commenting on how long they were :)

One of my favorite families to see every year (no worries, i do have lots of favorites). I love my clients and their kids and i do love seeing how much they've grown every year :)

One week ago today I was in the ER getting transferred to a different hospital for a possible surgery. I get emotional thinking about how the events went off those 12 hours prior and I wanted to use this moment in my life as a teaching moment for the other moms/women/business owners who put work/responsibilities in front of their health.
I was going to bed that Tuesday evening and felt intense stomach pains. Enough that I couldn't get comfortable so my husband stayed in the living room with me as I sat in a recliner waiting for the pain to stop. I woke him up a couple of hours later and told him i felt like I wasn't going to get good sleep and let's go to the bed. Later, I woke up, went to the bathroom with a ton of pain and I had passed out on the bathroom floor. I was so out of it, and it really didn't even click in my head what happened. I went back to bed and when my alarm went off & I got up, I passed out again. My husband was awake and insisted I get seen.
My worry, the entire night, was how was I going to tell my client I was not going to be able to keep her session for that day. My arms were weak, I could barely walk and my concern was making a client mad.
In a world of google reviews and word of mouth, my biggest fear is upsetting the wrong person.
Luckily, my client was extremely understanding.
We went to urgent care and after feeling around my tummy and me crying in pain, they told me to head to the hospital. After an ultrasound of my belly and a CT with contrast and then a pelvic ultrasound, they confirmed that I had a Hemorrhagic Ovarian cyst that was bleeding out into my abdomen and would need to be transferred out. Luckily, I was stable enough to go without surgery and just monitoring overnight.
This huge story but to admit, the whole time, I was more worried about the list of clients I would have to cancel. I was in the ER and texting clients and telling them there was a possibility of having to cancel their session for the next day.

I'm still recovering with belly pain and glad to say that every day, I’m feeling a little better. But ladies, put your health first. Don't push thru it because of expectations of others.
