some recent work

On top of feeling under the weather lately, I'm having a steady stream of custom work come my way. 

The bride that I worked with to complete this Save the Date was an absolute joy to work with!

A Save the Date!

 I loved the blue ink and the way these turned out...

I hope you enjoy!

Thanks again Ashley and Megan!  I'm truly honored and appreciate the recognition.

are you feeling it?

The change in seasons, the upcoming holidays...  It's my favorite time of year!  Also the busiest for me.

I attended a wedding weekend here in Southern California last weekend that was THE most beautiful wedding I've been to.  It was a melding of cultures - German and Native American.  I love the way the couple represented both.

Here's one of the photos that I captured:

Dreamcatcher

It's a large handmade dream catcher filled with photos of friends and family.  It was a hit and was one of the bride's DIY projects.  Such a beautiful and wonderful idea!

I have native blood and got to join in on the traditional songs that were sang.  It truly was a beautiful wedding.  I can't wait to see how the professional photos turned out.

Speaking of being busy...  I'm feverishly working to get my holiday items together for my shop.  Custom work is pouring in and I can't believe I'm all booked up for the next month or so!

Happy holidays to everyone that loves this time of year as much as I do!
