Jana, Billy, + Buddy

The Anderson family is dear to my heart. Even Buddy the dog... who I was terrified of for the first 6 months of our relationship. Jan + Bill are really helping me recover from a childhood void of pets.  Jana and I worked together on their card and I love it enough to claim as my own holiday card.  Happy (late) holidays from me via the Anderson family. 

Bo's Announcement.

I'm really happy with how Bo's announcement turned out. We decided to incorporate a subtle striped pattern on the back and I think it added a nice finishing touch. Welcome to the world Bo! Glad you're here.

Gard and Lindsay Lark.

Well, I had another roommate join the married club. I couldn't be happier about these two and was thrilled when they asked me to design their announcements and shoot their wedding. More photos coming right up!

christmas cousins.

does anyone else have cuter cousins than me? i doubt it. these photos look like they were taken in the middle of summer, but no... we took them on christmas afternoon. our white christmas came a day late (thanks mother nature). my gift to these little girls were these framed prints. i made them at midnight on christmas eve. if you need lessons on procrastination, i am your girl.


inspired by what i saw here

mary jane + kevin.

to say i go way back with this girl is an understatement. in 7th grade, her locker was next to mine and the rest is history. we went through jr. high and high school together, lived together for two years of college, and still eat at cafe rio together once a week. is she not the most stunning bride you've ever seen? love her. i helped shoot the wedding with her talented sister (who also made the dress... amazing) and have a lot more images to sort through and will post later, but i couldn't resist throwing these out on the www for all to see.

and here is the invite i designed (mary helped a lot)

i really really love my friends and am so happy for mary and kevin!

le bebe.

When I started working, I inherited some really fantastic co-workers. Really, they might be some of the most talented (and hilarious) people I know. They asked me to design the invite for a Madeline/French-themed baby shower they were throwing. Yes please! All the details are kind of amazing, right? The old buggy? The mustaches? The photo booth? The patisserie? When you see these photos, you'll want them to plan your next party (see another one of their masterpiece parties here).

All photos compliments of Laura Giddens, photo taker and product designer extraordinaire.

william's birth announcement.

i have designed a few custom announcements and invites lately, so i thought i would share a few. first up, we have baby william. from this shoot.

lisa rupp.

because i'm borderline obsessed with well-designed paper products, i can't help but share these calendars from talented designer lisa rupp. i would have ordered one already, but i can't decide between the two. what would you get?

i'm finally here!

this is why i am in the right major.

because videos like this make me really happy (and sad that i'm not capable of creating them...yet).
