Wow – I was so privileged to work with such a great group of creatives on this unique style shoot.  Think: Metallic, sequins, desert, soft and dreamy.  Plus, it was all captured on film by the oh so talented Taylor Lord.  A couple photos below – but check out the whole feature on 100 Layer Cake here.

Many thanks to the fabulous Lindsey Zamora for including me and this fantastic group for putting together something special.

Wow – with the big day of love 1 week away I thought I would have a flash sale for an original print with some of my favorite song lyrics from The Postal Service.

Written on nice black paper with pink shimmer ink – this is modern and romantic… and a daily reminder to have a movie type ending to each day.  Each piece measures 5×7 and is an original work of art.

I am smitten with the new logo for Joyce.  Joyce Kang is a talented photographer based out of Austin, Texas and needed a refreshed look to express her style of photography.  We created a custom logo that I feel truly represents her photography – happy and full of life and movement.  She does such a great job at capturing her subjects personality and I hope I did the same for her.  You can see the new look on her website and with a few lovely stamps to be used in her packaging.  The large one is so large for packages – I LOVE IT!

I love this recent photo – and the watermark :-)

I had the absolute privilege of working with Stefanie of Lavender Joy on a little photo shoot over 6 months ago.  The fruits of her labor were finally shared with the public in the newest issue of Southern Weddings Magazine.  She did such a wonderful job that it was also the cover!  Congratulations to Sefanie, Ryan Ray and Bows and Arrows on putting together a simply sweet southern affair.

You can see more of the feature on the Southern Weddings blog here and in the magazine on newsstands now.

I cannot believe this couple has already celebrated their 1 year anniversary – Congratulations!  Their envelopes were so much fun to work on with the tall layout and customized font to match the new married monogram.  It is so much fun to do something a little different – what do you think of this layout?

I was looking through my photograph files (and trying to organize) and found this photo of personalized note cards.  I just love the simple lettering, each by hand and original with a color coordinating duplexed paper for the back.  So they were extra heavy and you could feel the texture of the ink of the paper.

A set of these would be such a lovely hostess gift or for a child learning to write (and value) thank you notes.  A set of 25 in a style and color of your choice on white or ivory paper with corresponding envelopes for $100. (email me to order!)

Two Fridays I was thrilled to be featured on Style Me Pretty with Event Styling by Shawna Marie and photography by Katie Cassidy Photography!

The colors were a great combo of green and white with a soft pink and gold accent to really pull it all together for a formal occasion.
