Sweet Dreams Design collage

My boys had the absolute honor of modeling some of the cutest clothes available for Spring 09. The uber talented designer Anna Gardner (http://www.sweet-dreams-designs.net/) is having a booth at Cottontails Village and needed a nice display…April Kuhlmann (Once In Every Life Photography) & Jen Harris to the rescue! April took the pics of course, I did the design. I think it’s adorable and can’t wait to see pics of the booth!

Oh and did I mention that my oldest is the boy on the lower left :) My other son is already in her other displays so he isn't on this one.

Save The Date...Alabama style!

I was recruited once again by my friend April from Once In Every Life Photography to design a Save The Date for a couple that she did an engagement shoot for recently. They are HUGE Alabama fans and if anyone reading this is from Alabama or anywhere in the south for that matter you KNOW what a big deal that is. I was asked to capture their love without screaming cheesy football...I think I did it...or should I say April did it because it is her photos that make it spectacular. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I'm popular :)

I've been blogged about again! What an absolute treat it is to be talked about by some of the most talented people I have ever met! This time I was blogged by April Kuhlmann from Once In Every Life Photography...an ubber fabulous photographer with a style that can not be matched. I have had the priviledge of working with her on building a new image for her company by creating a new logo and marketing materials for her...

Here is the new logo on the front of her brand spankin new business cards.

And here is the back of the card...




And this is a bridal campaign I have been working on for her...you can't tell me you wouldn't LOVE for her to take your wedding photos!
