I love getting to see Candace and Derek’s wedding celebrations, which spanned two different years thanks to the pandemic, in this final form as beautiful wedding albums. They chose a gorgeous dusty blue leather cover, and the main album was debossed with custom calligraphy by Brown Fox Calligraphy. In addition to the medium sized book,…
I love seeing photographs in print, especially in the form of these beautiful heirloom albums. Isabella and Hugh chose a light grey luxe linen for their wedding album, with gold foil debossing on the cover. Peek inside the book below! Their wedding reception was at The Plumed Horse, a two-star Michelin restaurant in Saratoga. Complete…
I absolutely love getting to see a wedding in printed album form. For Tiffany and Tevis we created a medium 10×10″ album and for their parents and family members, we created four additional 6×6″ mini albums. A light grey luxe linen covered each of the books, and the main album was gilded with a gold…
Some time last year I discovered The Sketchbook Project, a global art project that invites people to purchase a sketchbook and returned it filled with their artwork for permanent exhibition in The Brooklyn Art Library. I jumped on board for Volume 14 of the project, then let my sketchbook sit blank for nearly a year…
Happy mail day! I was delighted to receive all eight of these eagerly awaited albums yesterday, so I of course gathered them together for a quick group photo. I’ll be sharing more about the other two sets of albums in the next few weeks, but today I’m delighted to share Emily and Nicholas’ beautiful albums…
I am so thrilled to share this tea party with you all. If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably know my love for tea time. But after having seen so many different takes on the vintage/garden party/Alice in Wonderland types of tea parties, I wanted to craft something a little different: a more modern approach to afternoon tea….
Happy very belated birthday, Tiffany! Back in April, my good friend Tiffany hosted a lobster feast for her birthday. The lobsters were flown in from Maine; Tiffany decorated with a loose nautical theme and her own calligraphy; we had the mesmerizing Oceans from Disney playing in the background; and it was wonderful, festive, and delicious. See…
I’m thrilled to share the second in my series of Portrait Parties. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. Each participant contributes to the party too, and we all get to connect with each other without the pressures of…
I’m so excited to share my latest personal project: the Portrait Party. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. I come across so many people who say they could really use an updated headshot, but instead of just having a huge…

I absolutely love seeing all the beautiful creations from my friend Brianne over at Brown Fox Calligraphy. We met up at my studio one day so I could help her photograph some of her favorite wedding suites and miscellaneous pieces from 2015. They’re all so pretty, it’s impossible to pick favorites, though this first one with its…
Last weekend, I teamed up with Brianne of Brown Fox Calligraphy and Melanie of Hawthorn Flower Studio to offer our “Calligraphy and Centerpieces” workshop in San Francisco. We had a full class of ten awesome students. They first learned the basics of calligraphy for menus and escort cards and then each got to create a…
