In the Studio

It's been a crazy crazy past few weeks, and I finally have proof that I have been working! Take a look at some of the jobs orders that I have finished recently...

Veronica and Simon are having a sophisticated wedding set with coppers, creams, and indigo. We came up with the most beautiful Save the Date, and it was hard to come up with an invitation idea that would compliment it but not be exactly the same. We came up with this beautiful pocket fold invitaton with Midori ribbon and Swaroski crstal accents. Love it!

Molly and Josh are having an outdoors wedding at the stunning Bishop's Lodge in Santa Fe. Molly definatley wanted to stick with a sunflower motiff, as this will be the 'theme' that is carried throughout the wedding. Her colors are clover and white, and together we came up with this simple, but elegant invitation to match.

My first quincenera invitation was for Evelynn, whe is turning 15 in May. I was excited to take on this job for 2 reasons; 1. It's the first quincenera that I've done from start to finish and 2. because the family of from a small town called Socorro, New Mexico and I was excited to branch into new territory in the state. Anyway, Evelynn is a girl who knows what she likes and she loved this turquiose pocketfold invitation white linen inserts and thermo ink. On the cover we choose to use a hot pink border and a Swaroski crystal accent.

Estella and I met in our College of Santa Fe days, and she is having a Black and White Ball to celebrate her upcoming MBA graduation. This piece is sooo totally different than the standard issued college gradation invite! I love it! It also gave me the chance to show of some super cool fonts that I recently purchased. Congrats Stella! I still haven't decided if I'll be walking the line with you all...

Betty and Larry are an older couple who wanted something simple, but elegant. I think that these ecru linen and teal invitations fit the bill. We used thermo ink in black and teal and then attached the invitation facecard to another teal layer of cardstock.

There are even more to come so keep looking out!

Wow!

You have got to see the wedding that was just posted on Dry Heat Photography's blog. I can't think of anything to say about it, except for - WOW!

PS. I just took a ton of photos of some projects that I just finished. Stay tuned to see what's up in the studio...

Absoultely Stunning

I keep telling you about local photographer Seth Goodman, but I absolutely love his work! He just posted some new pics of this gorgeous couple Stephanie and Nick. I love this shot, it looks like it should be in a magazine...

Keepin' Up with the Jones'

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with my good pals Seth and Desiree at Jones Photo Art! They live on the edge of cool, and like to keep their images in tune with what's hot in the industry. Check out their new blog to see what I am talking about!
