Maureen and Michael

Congratulations to Maureen and Michael who tied the knot on November 17th!  Had so much fun celebrating with you both and loved seeing all of our collaboration come together....everything looked so amazing!

Had to sneak in one of my favorite moments I was able to capture.....Maureen and her father walking down the aisle capturing Michael and his best man's reaction.....love <3.


Taking us back to the summer, it all started with the Save the Date.  Maureen and Michael liked the idea of selecting a photo in front of the Chicago Theater so that they could display their wedding information on the marquee sign for all of their guests to see.  This is the point where we selected paper, styles and fonts and incorporated throughout everything!

From there we created the invitations incorporating both the shimmery red as well as ivory ribbon and linen paper.  Additionally, developed a monogram that was used throughout everything!








Maureen and Michael's Menu's

Escort cards....incorporated the monogram faded in the background.  Additionally, love how Maureen and Michael displayed at each table that I had to take it home to photograph following their special day.  They used wine corks to prop up the escort cards and champagne corks for the table name cards. 



And lastly the programs, created a booklet that had detail surrounding the bridal party, ceremony as well as the thank you's to everyone sharing in their special day.




Contratulations to you both!

Baby Raineri

A baby boy is on his way....can't wait to meet Baby Raineri!  Heather and Bobby had their shower this past weekend and we had so much fun celebrating with them :-)

Created shower invitations with a Bears theme to match Baby Raineri's Nursery.




Created a Bears Onesie card for Heather and Bobby as part of our gift to the new parents-to-be!


Favors looked awesome, Jaclyn had me print up 1.5" tags and she adhered them to bags of popcorn, love the idea!


And lastly, created a onesie collection for Baby Raineri so we can watch him grow!

Ava's Growth Chart

Another custom growth chart for a sweet little girl as a Christmas gift.  Created illustrations to match her bedding...the Haley Collection from Pottery Barn.

Love the way it turned out!  And I can't wait to hear how baby Ava and her parents like it on Christmas! 




Design inspiration:

Kyleigh's Growth Chart

I've been getting a lot of requests for custom illustrated growths charts for Christmas.....and I finally made some time to create Kyleigh one!  After contiplating for months if I should illustrate zoo animals, teddy bears, bunny rabbits, I settled on recreating the butterflies and flowers from Sydney's growth chart.

Kyleigh loves it, she even posed for a picture so we can measure her!

Moving Cards

So exciting....I was able to reconnected with another college friend!  Gordo’s family just recently moved and they were interested in sending out moving cards to their friends and family.  

We discussed utilizing a flatcard and creating a post card style incorporating beautiful photos of the children from their summer vacation and I developed illustrations for the home and change of address stamp!

Love the way it turned out, and Gordo it was great to work with you!  Until next time:-)



Beautiful pictures of the children that Gordo supplied for the moving card.
