Cristie + RJ: The Wedding Announcement

While this post has been a while coming, I am no less excited to share it! As with most brides, Cristie wanted her invite to reflect her wedding color scheme of silve, blue & white--in conjunction with her & her fiance's love for BYU, of course! I think it's always fun for the couple to throw in some personality into their invitations.

After a few color re-arrangements we came up with the final design, and I absolutely love it. I particularly love the wording in which Cristie's son, Kole, announces the marriage of his mom, and they have included them in their photos. What a cute and fun way to make a child feel a part of their parent's special day!

Thanks so much for allowing me to add something to your special day Cristie! I wish you and RJ the best of luck & the happiness you deserve!

Becca + Sam: The Wedding Cake

I am so excited to post about this wedding cake. I absolutely love it & had so much fun creating it. With this being my most elaborate cake thus far, I must say I am pretty proud of it!

I love the simplicity, yet textural details, of the white on white design. Becca was so great to work with & aside from knowing she wanted 3 round tiers in white fondant, she pretty much left the cake design open for me to do as I pleased. I really hope she ended up liking it as much as I did. Congrats to the newlyweds & best wishes to them in starting their life together!

Etsy Shop: 2012 Young Women Theme w/ Full Scripture

Check out the newest Etsy shop addition! I have had quite a few buyers for my original 2012 YW Theme poster (here), and because I have recently been receiving requests for a similar poster which would include the full scripture, rather than just the reference as in the original I am now offering one in my shop.

This would be a great addition to any Young Women classroom, framed and placed where they can see it every week; or even as a personal gift to a young woman herself. This newest poster can be purchased here

The Vincent Family

Remember these cute kiddos, and their brave mom Hayley who gave me my very first shot at a "real photo shoot session"? Well, they're back and I'm excited to share a few of the photos on here!

When I arrived for their photo session Hayley informed me that they had never had family photos since having all three of their children, so this was way overdue and I was excited that she had asked me to take them! I really love their choice of outfits & colors. I think she did a great job at coordinating, but not being too "matchy matchy" by throwing a few different patters into the mix--compiling a wardrobe for photos is a tough and she totally pulled it off. Check out some of my faves from the shoot below:



And of course, what better way to show off your family photos than sending out a holiday card? Below is the design I did for the Vincent's, I really love the cherry blossom branch that coordinates with the colors in their photo.


Hayley & Family: Thanks so much for allowing me to take the your "first" family photos, I hope you enjoy them!
