Invitation Design - Summer Wedding

This invitation was designed and hand worked in our studio for a summer wedding.

The invitation used the blue, yellow and white color scheme and had a sweet, dimensional daisy.  The escort cards for the guests were also a favor ... pretty daisies in petite vase with the name and table number attached with a gingham bow.  Simple, casual, fresh ... that was this wedding's theme.

Invitation Design - Celtic Wedding

This invitation was designed and hand worked in our studio for a wedding with a Celtic theme.

The invitation had an interesting Celtic knot as a theme that was carried throughout the stationary. Most unique, the mailing box was filled with green moss for the invitation and enclosures to arrive upon, giving a nod to the emerald islands.

Different Visions

I was reminded today how totally cool it is that everyone's vision is unique.  I met with one of my students and so enjoyed looking through her work from the past couple weeks.  She loves photographing people in a candid way ... just on the street, doing their thing and it really is fascinating ... especially the series she captures, they are a tiny glimpse into a life.  She is also really great at noticing color and texture ... something I am drawn to, as well.

Anyway, she has been trying to be sensitive to strangers perhaps not wanting their picture taken and has focused on a collection of photos of feet to preserve anonymity.  So cool ... every time she comes in with some fun photos.  Today we were loving this pair of shoes (I was wondering how anyone can actually walk in them!) and  I wanted to share it with you ...

Whatever your vision is, I encourage you to run with it ... be unique!

Invitation Design - Way Out West!

This invitation was designed and hand worked in our studio for a wedding in a barn.

The invitation was a fun, square shape, backed with red and blue and used a variety of old time fonts to give it a western poster feel.  It arrived in a creamy box, along with the enclosures, nestled on top of a bright red bandana.

Invitation Design - Autumn Wedding

This invitation was designed and hand worked in our studio for an autumn wedding in the forest.

The invitation and enclosures had the faux bois finish to set the tone for a wedding amongst the trees.  The invitation was backed with a natural cardstock to give it more weight and finished appearance and had an acorn and oak leaf charm tied to the bottom.  The brown envelopes were lined with beautiful paisley in the rich tones of autumn.

Invitation Design - Winter Wedding

This invitation was designed and hand worked in our studio for a destination wedding in Colorado.

The invitation was backed with a matching blue and white striped cardstock to give it more weight and finished appearance and had rhinestone "snowflakes" applied. The box top had a rhinestone snowflake on a blue ribbon attached and was lined with blue cardstock.  The box was filled with a bed of crystals that sparkled like snow.

Beautiful Spring Day!

This morning I went out with my two private students to photograph around the Kentlands on an amazing, spring day.  We could not have asked for a prettier conditions to be out and about ... sunny, perfect temperature, very light breeze and the flowers in full-out bloom.  I can't wait to see what they came back with!  The peeks on their monitors hold a lot of promise ...

I don't generally take my camera out with me when I am teaching, so I can completely focus on helping my students.  So I just caught a few shots with my iPhone while I was demoing some composition points.

Thanks, ladies for a great morning!!

Enjoy the photos ...  Happy Spring!
