little breadcrumbs

I was asked this week if there where items in my studio that had special meaning to me. I never really thought about it. It didn't take long to realize I was surrounded by meaningful pieces. An illustrated desk calendar by my daughter, inspirational books, oil paint and brushes to remind me to find some time to paint again, photos of grandparents here and there that remind me who helped mold the gal sitting behind this keyboard, and so many more comforts in nooks and crannies. I guess I subconsiously kept these little breadcrumbs, so that I would never lose site of how I got here. Do I still have my first "Learn how to Draw" book on these shelves? You better believe it! (That's a blog post in itself.) Wishing you all a weekend filled with special somethings.

Here's some product photography we created for Melissa Dew. All were photographed in the early morning natural sunlight.

They say working with good or bad people can make or break your day. I was the luckiest gal to create with this gem, Lisa Florio of Springfield, Pa. Her million watt smile says it all. We recently had some fun together creating a brand to support her personality and photography style, and honoring how important her photography is to her community. Go get 'em Lisa!

Here's to a weekend full of belly laughs. Happy Friday!

road 2 running

My life changed the day I called Dave Gehman at Road 2 Running. I've been running for 25 years, but it wasn't until someone showed me that it wasn't how far or fast I was going, but how smart I was running that made all the difference. His personal attention to your goals is an extraordinary one-on-one experience that no runner should go without. If I could get a lifetime membership I would. Honestly, I'd feel like a fish out of water without him. The personal training is priceless. Completely priceless.

You know what's fun? This graphic designer/runner got the opportunity to design some cards for Road 2 Running this past year. Thank you for making such an impact in my life!

ariana grande 13th birthday invitation

When your kids get older it's much harder to incorporate birthday party themes without them feeling embarrassed. My teen just loves Ariana Grande, so we went with this simple design. We'll see what activities we muster up for the party. Are you planning a teen party? If so, did you incorporate a theme?
