Holiday Shopping Time!

Dear Friends, Family, Colleagues & the World Wide Web,

I can safely and happily say that I am now officially back in Baltimore, MD!  Moving home was a big decision, but one that I embraced with open arms.  It seems that everyone and everything has been so welcoming to me since I got home. . . thank you!  I will surely miss my friends and the beauty in Rhode Island, however, you'll always be in my heart and I look forward to my next visit up there.

And now for the good stuff. . . I know it's been a while since my last post and update, but I am ready to start sharing some info and news to you.  Most importantly, all of my photography and photo cards are now available on my Etsy Shop for holiday shopping! 

I offer my fine art photography prints in all sizes, if there is something that you don't see, but see on my website here, please just let me know and I'd be happy to make a print for you.  I am going to be updating my greeting card galleries in the next couple of months with lots of new designs.  I will post images of these as I make them and everything will be available to purchase online at my Etsy Shop.  If you see any cards that you may want to purchase for the holiday, please email me and I will check to see if I still have it in stock, if not, I'll be happy to whip one up for ya!

Thank you!  I'm home Hon!

Jessica's Big Day

There's something absolutely beautiful about watching your best friends get married, especially when their weddings are 100% their personality.  This was the case with Jessica.  Being a professional graphic designer, her attention to detail was immpecable, her DIY skills were astounding, and her ability to organize and stick to a set schedule was admirable.  I was fortunate enough to be a part of all the crafting and set-up several days and prior to the wedding.  It was great to see her friends and family gathering together to help her get things done.  Please enjoy some images I have taken of Jessica and Aaron's big day!

Her dress hangs on an armoir in the queen's retreat suite.

Her BHLDN dress was exquisite, effortlessly flowing to the floor like butterfly wings.

Weddings are also reunions between friends who don't get to see each other so often.

The setting sun gave a wonderful, warm and romantic cast of light on their table.

Here is the "J & A" I created for Jessica & Aaron to display upon the mantle in the pavillion.

When Jessica sat down, she was greeted by these polaroids I had taken.  Surprise! XO

Hand-painted rocks with your name brought you to your table.  J & A performing their first dance.

endings, changing, new beginnings.

To put it gently, A LOT has happened since my last blog post and the past 3 weeks have been a whirlwind of emotion, sadness, excitement, happiness and creative productivity.  I spent a week in Chicago and Beloit, WI crafting and watching my best friend celebrate the best day of her life, I journeyed to visit another great girlfriend in Madison, WI, my Mother and her husband Tommy came to visit me in RI for Labor Day and right before all of this happened, I became unemployed.  Oh, and I turn 30 in 3 weeks.  It's been bumpy, to say the least, with extreme highs and lows.  But, in light of the whole 'unemployed and broke' part, I can now share some happy news!  I'm moving back to Baltimore on November 1st!  I can't wait to get back into my hometown of Charm City and rediscover why I love it so much.  So the job search is on!  Time to pack it all up and say goodbye to the ocean state and my little apartment in the forest.  Better times ahead, as my Mother always says.

Here's an old door to a mill just down the street from where I live in Scituate, RI.  I love the chipping paint and the deteriorated effect it gives this image.  The teal color is vibrant and sure to pop in any frame.  Grab a print today!
