Sunday Photoshoot

This past Sunday I decided that I should cross a major thing off my to do list...

Photograph my products & Update my etsy shop!

I have dozens of little knick-nacks, ribbon, trinkets, and flowers to use as props.

I cannot sew but it doesn't stop me from buying beautiful fabric I see in the discount bin. 

I found a corresponding background for each item- mostly fabric but a few paper!

I photographed many options and picked the best results...

 

 

National Stationery Show

As you know I love all things paper... so naturally I sought out the biggest trade show for paper goods in the US- The National Stationery Show in NYC!

Gearing up for the event mentioned above- I have been slowly but surely photographing all my products and gathering up self promotional items. Here are a few examples.

Watercolor

These are few works that I did this past quarter in my watercolor class...

Editorial Work

Recipe Cards

Here are my 3 recipe card designs and they are currently available here.

Ivory & Beau Styling Sessions

I had the pleasure of working with the incredible Ivory and Beau located right here in Savannah.

Here are a few from an Art Noveau/Gypsy themed shoot and then another shoot involving lots of calligraphy, books and horses!

I was responsible for all of the paper goods and calligraphy shown.

 

They create truly stunning work and inspire so many!

Card Makeover

Many times I go through a revision process of my designs.

 I might love the idea but it needs tweaking.

Here are a few designs I updated this weekend. 

What are your thoughts?

Guilt Driven Inspiration

We have all been faced with the cheesy motivational posters whether in an office or a classroom, but rarely do you say "Huh, how inspiring!"

I made some lovely little prints that are perfect above you desk or at your studio.

4 Designs in all and they are available through the shop link at the top!
