For a while now, I’ve been wanting to offer some of my photos for print. Society6 has made it incredibly easy for me to do so while supporting an artistic community, thus, I’ve launched a small gallery with prints for purchase. I’ve also taken the time to get some of my favorite film photos re-scanned at a higher resolution so I can offer larger prints, however, not all are available at anything larger than a 10″x7″. If there is enough interest in some (like the River Light photo), I would be happy to offer those at a larger size.

I’ll slowly be adding to this collection, but for now, here is a small selection I’ve been collecting over the months. Enjoy and I hope you’ll share with me if there are any prints you’d like to see for sale!

I’m off to Vancouver for the weekend to unwind a bit after a crazy month I’ve had and gear up for an exciting wedding season that’s just beginning to pick up. Just my boyfriend and I, exploring, walking, eating, enjoying each other’s company. I can’t wait. Cheers until Monday!

This last winter, it was that fog shoot….this week, it was a rooftop…and not to mention sun. As a creative you need to try different things…see if they work or not, and not be afraid to totally fail. I just felt this ping of inspiration and needed to run with it. And I’m so happy I have friends who will join me in that ride.

I love these two people with all my heart. Katelyn is one of my dearest friends from college, and it’s one of those friendships I will cherish until the day I die. We have shared so many milestones together and continue to walk alongside one another as we move through life, no matter the distance, time, or crazy schedule. Grant I’ve known almost equally as long, and am so happy the two of them are a team. I was honored to stand by them as they exchanged vows a couple years back and I can’t count the ways these two continue to bless the lives of people around them. They are just such a joy to be around, not to mention a drop-dead gorgeous couple to photograph. Love them oh so much.

Hi. I have a supermodel for a best friend. Oh yea, did I mention she’s in med school? Intelligent and beautiful. Sheesh.

And for good measure, a few film shots from the evening.

Here’s a little peek of what elements I’m working with — lots of earthy blues, black, white, cream & copper. I love hand drawn patterns juxtaposed with clean lines, strong typography mixed with hand painted cursive…. and of course some metallic. It’s been a long time coming and I can’t wait to get this going.

Each piece was printed offset in black onto Ecru Crane Letra and then gold foiled with a “dusted gold”. We used patterns and borders to cue an art-deco style, but also kept it modern with a clean serif typeface and a calligraphic typeface. The suite included a main invitation with gold shimmer lined black envelopes — complete with calligraphy from Carolyn Kach — a reply card & gold-stamped reply envelopes, and an accommodations card all wrapped together with a delicate gold thread. Overall, I’m overjoyed with how they turned out and have to say they’re some of my favorite invites to date.

These were also just on Oh So Beautiful Paper — thanks again Nole for the feature!
