A 1960s Bash Save the Date



I had so much fun working on this Save-the-Date for a 1960s-themed 70th Birthday Party! We chose a simple, clean, Madmen-esque look, using bold red and black against a stark white. To enhance the experience, we letterpressed these elements into a thick, toothy paper. Guests literally unfold each element as they open the card. The graphic elements of a black tie, red lips, red glasses and a birthday candle give a hint of what's to come at this B-A-S-H.

A Candid Baby Announcement



You know those moments we sometimes coincidentally capture with camera in hand? The moments between the shot you're trying to get...the moments of beauty, or unrestrained happiness, or confusion...that often tell more about the subject you're photographing? I think these can often make the most beautiful photos because they reflect real life. While designing this sweet birth announcement, I had a few photos to choose from and I was tickled by the expression on the faces of the kiddos in this shot. (Do notice the little guy's concern...perhaps he's realizing what being "Cora's little brother" means for him....). Welcome to the world little Gene, Cora is going to be a great big sister!

A Tea Party Baby Shower



I recently had the pleasure of helping host a baby shower for a dear friend. We celebrated with a simple and sweet tea party (complete with crumpets and lemon curd. Yes, crumpets!!) To continue the theme of the invitation, I created menus with the tea and treat selections. As a thank-you, guests each received a set of Lilly & Louise Onesie cards. The shower was lovely, and now we all can't wait for the itty-bitty, teenie-weenie to arrive!
