I'm featured on the Southern Weddings Magazine & The Bride's Cafe blogs!

So it's obviously been a verrry long time since I have posted on my blog. See, we moved into our house last July and I decided to take a break from invitations to focus on cleaning, organizing, and decorating our house. Well, its a year later and most of those things aren't done! Over the past year, I have been involved in many major life events of some of my closest friends. My college friend and co-advertising graduate, Melissa, just got married in June at Haiku Mill (an amazing Maui backdrop for a wedding). She enlisted me to design her and her now husband's save the dates, wedding invites, as well as several of her wedding day paper goods. An honor no doubt! ...and then there was my best friend Erika, who soon after we moved into our house announced that she was pregnant! Needless to say, that was a baby shower months in the making - and SO much fun! I couldn't be happier for the Koehlers and the arrival of their precious baby boy, Keaton. ...and then just a few weeks ago, I was in my friends Cynthia's wedding in San Antonio at the Southwest School of Arts (another amazing backdrop)! Needless to say, it's been a busy, but fun, year!

In the midst of planning Erika's shower I got an email from a previous client of mine, Karla Mitchell of Kelley Cannon Events. She asked if I would like to help with an upcoming photo shoot that she and Kelley were putting together. My immediate response - heck yeah! What an honor to be considered for such an event! We immediately began working on an invitation suite to go along with their "rustic modern" theme. I knew from the get-go this was going to make me want to re-plan my own wedding. Kelley and Karla = AWESOME! Their ideas, execution, and professionalism are so amazing. Highly recommended! ...and if you want to check out the photo shoot as proof, click here.

All pictures were taken by Anne Robert Photography, styled by Kelley Cannon Events, and included real life husband and wife team from Rockstar Diaries. The gorgeous flowers were from Holly Chapple Flowers. Seriously, everything about this shoot makes me want to get married again. Thanks again to Kelley and Karla for including me! Southern Weddings is by far one of my favorite wedding blogs, so it's quite an honor to be included on their site. 

*Update: I just received notification that the shoot has also posted on "The Bride's Cafe." Go here to check it out!

One of these days, I will get around to posting the projects I have done this past year. However, it may be a bit, because I'm now beginning work on that "break" I mentioned. ;-)
