COOKBOOK | cover designs
December 1, 2009 · 9 Comments
This was a really fun project to work on. I have never designed a cookbook before so I was excited when my friend Mallory hired me to design a cookbook cover for the memorial home she works at. The dash of love was Mallory’s idea and I thought it was cute. I did two different proposals for her. Guess which one she picked!
And which one do you like?

DIY THANKSGIVING | project
November 30, 2009 · 7 Comments
How was everyone’s Thanksgiving weekend?? My sister-in-law Brandie and her family (2 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs) came to visit us over the long weekend so it was a full house! My niece Mia who is 7 loves art and crafts so I pulled this little project together for us to do together.
We picked out different color headbands and then searched through tons of different buttons to arrange and sew onto our headbands. Mia even sewed her own buttons on! It was a really easy and fun project to do and Mia loved it!

FASHION | friday : carol hannah

When Carol Hannah turned out to be the runner-up on this season’s Project Runway, I think it’s safe to say everyone and their mom was shocked. Her clothes were by far the prettiest, most tasteful, and best-made out of the 3 finalists. Her “structured-detailing” is fabulous!
So when I found out she has an etsy store I was thrilled! Here are a couple of my favorites pieces:
How lovely are those??
p.s. If I had a name like Carol Hannah I would be a fashion designer too :)

ANTHOLOGY | yearbook cover proposals
November 25, 2009 · 7 Comments
My sister Abby is a high school senior this year and recently got voted to be the editor for her high school yearbook! So when she saw my high school yearbook shoot, it gave her some ideas for her high school’s yearbook cover. She asked me for help with the cover so I quickly helped her with these design proposals.
She is planning on taking pictures of students at her school to replace these students. The theme she came up with is Anthology which means ‘any printed collection of literary pieces, songs, works of art, etc.’ Perfect for a yearbook!
So which proposal do you like best?

WEDDING | katie jo + jeremy
November 23, 2009 · 2 Comments
Last month I got a chance to second shoot at Katie Jo’s and Jeremy’s wedding with Travis Williams. It was a really great experience and a lot of fun! The ceremony was so pretty underneath orange trees at the Radisson Suites. Katie Jo and Jeremy were radiant and you could truly tell they were excited to start a life together. Here’s some of the moments I captured.

FASHION | friday : high school style
November 20, 2009 · 1 Comment
“We need to find a preppy girl!” I heard this recently when I took pictures of fashionable students at Ironwood Ridge High School. The purpose of the shoot was to represent the different fashion styles of their student body in this year’s yearbook. High school trends definitely have changed since I went to high school! The thing that hasn’t changed though is the variety of styles!
A couple of observations I made:
Skinny jeans rule
Flannels/plaids cross all style groups
Preppy has not died
Side part still reigns
Men’s clothing is form-fitting
Goal is effortlessly cool
I graduated in 2001 and was definitely preppy – Gap, Abercrombie, American Eagle were my top stores. Now I would probably be more trendy/casual. So which one of these styles fit you in high school??
Preppy:
Edgy:
Trendy:
Bohemian:
Sporty:
Casual:
Indie:
