Visiting Grandparents
We are currently spending the weekend in Nashville while I do my annual fall family photo sessions in town, and Penny is in toddler heaven spending time with her grandparents. Penny calls my parents “ama” and “granddaddy” and SHE CANNOT GET ENOUGH of them. Coming back here reminded me that I never shared some super […]

Lately: Photos and Weddings
**photo session giveaway details at the end!** Wedding season is officially underway and I’m currently booking for 2019! I love shooting these crazy events full of love, happy people, and sweet details. I’m such a sap. This is my first wedding season since I joined Humming House in 2013…I had to give up weddings for […]

Fall Photo Madness
It’s been a beautiful fall for photography, and I lucked out working with some amazing families in Louisville and Nashville! One of my favorite perks of doing family sessions is getting to see how families grow and change year after year. Kids growing up, new additions to the family – it’s such a privilege to […]

Goodbye Sweet East Nashville Home
Gather ’round and let me tell you a tale of house hunting in East Nashville in 2011. Back then, the only houses in our very very tight budget were in East Nashville. Our superb realtor Marcie Nash showed us houses all over town, but saved the best one for last: the house that eventually became our sweet first home in South […]

Humming House friends, fans, and family: THANK YOU!
To all my Humming House friends, fans, and family – I’ll preface my entire message with a brief mention that in case you haven’t heard either from my recent blog post or the announcement on Humming House’s page, I decided to leave the band this spring. I have a little kiddo on the way in September, […]

My doggos are video stars
Last month Humming House released the official video for our song “Run with Me”! We filmed the video over two incredibly hot days last fall (back when my hair was flowing and Kumita was a baby). Running around the city in heels and business-casual clothes while trying to capture the right shots for our storyline was […]

Humming House in the Huffington Post!
We are making a brief pause in the Chile recap to bring you this announcement: Humming House was in the Huffington Post today! Check out this article by Michael Bialas, who interviewed me and Justin back in September at the Americana Music Festival. It’s a list of 14 Peak Performers in 2014, and HH is in […]

Finer things
I’m feeling a little low after a defeating evening watching the election results roll in, so I’m going to focus on the happier things going on in the Los Rodriguez Life. This past weekend we celebrated our good friends Eric and Megan at their beautiful wedding! I’ve known Eric since my freshman year in college. […]

Pre-order the new live Humming House album!
I know, I know – I promised photos of Gia and this post has nothing to do with photography or my sweet niece. But it’s coming! This post is time-sensitive, so I’m going to get down to it. Humming House is releasing a brand new LIVE album on August 26, and you can pre-order the […]

The thing about blogging…
The thing about blogging is that if you leave it alone for any period of time you feel like you have to catch up, and catching up can be a drag (especially if you’re translating the post!). The longer we wait to catch up, the longer the recap post gets and then suddenly several weeks […]

Hey Nashville! Do you need soil, mulch, or any other gardening supplies?
This season is our third season gardening at home. We have experimented with different watering techniques, plants, flowers, veggies, soils, etc. Last year we expanded the vegetable garden and did a complete overhaul of our landscaping in the front of the house. To complete these 2 tasks we needed really good soil and mulch to […]

Catching up to April
I feel like way too much has happened to write a proper update, so I’ll post some highlights from the last month so we can catch up in one post and then *hopefully* stay up-to-date from here on out! Here goes…over the last month:We made 12 rolls of sushi at my parents’ house so they […]

FREE album download – one day left!
Two weeks ago I posted about two important announcements from my band Humming House – and one of those announcements was that the debut Humming House album is, for a limited time, available for FREE on noisetrade.com! That limited time is quickly approaching its end – there’s only ONE DAY LEFT to cash in on […]

2013 TN State Fair
Alright, this is the last post in our state & county fair series, which is really an excuse to bring you adorable photos of farm animals. Then we’ll move on to more contemporary goings-on in the LRL of late. The last fair we went to was the most excellent TN State Fair, which we think Goldilocks would agree is “just […]

Wilson County Fair
This year we’re collecting fairs – we already wrote about our trip to the Williamson County Fair but we still have yet to post about our trips to the Wilson County Fair and the State Fair. Javi and I have gone to the TN State Fair every year since we first started dating, mostly to […]

Williamson County Fair
Every year Javier and I make a trip out to the TN State Fair, which is usually held in September. This year we decided that one fair wasn’t enough, so we decided to check out the Williamson County Fair to see what it was all about. For us, the fair is all about seeing the […]

Sunday Morning Pancake Mix
This is one of those posts where we’re going to be bold and go ahead and say “you are very welcome” for introducing you to this fabulous new tasty treat. One of our friends here in East Nashville recently started up a business called “My Friend who Loves to Cook” and her first big product […]

Big changes in the LRL (don’t get too excited – no baby announcements here)
I play the “this point in time” game with my life regularly. You know, the: “this time last year I was doing this” or “this time last week this happened” or “this time tomorrow I’ll be doing this!” So here we go, time to do a little of that on the blog. This time last […]

LRL out to the ballgame!
Summertime for us means a number of things: gardening, heat, porch time, pool time, summer shandy, grilling out, gardening…but rarely does summertime mean baseball in this household. Javier isn’t a huge fan of the sport and I’m not a big enough fan to push the issue of going to the ballpark from time to time, […]

Choripan – the food not the pup
I mentioned on the pan amasado post that we used the bread to make Choripan – so here is that story. Choripan, besides being the name of our youngest pup, is a popular dish back home in Chile. It is similar to a hotdog but instead of a regular hot dog you use chorizo. This was […]
