Every year, after the rush of the holidays and the countdown into a new year, I take the opportunity to celebrate my January birthday with a creative party, and I set off on my next spin around the sun with a few of my favorite people. In the past, I have hosted a moody dinner…
It’s my annual tradition to kick off the year with a creative birthday celebration. Past celebrations include the moody dinner party, spoon carving, pottery, my 10-year business anniversary, a plant party, and last year’s tea party. This year? A gathering about gatherings. I was inspired by Priya Parker’s book, The Art of Gathering, to think…
It’s time for December’s recap! So much holiday cheer, a Lean In retreat, and this post doesn’t even include our trips to Maui, Oahu, and Redwood National Park, all of which will come in future posts (hopefully soon-ish). We kick it off with our monthly Office of Accountability meeting, hosted in Meg’s wonderfully decorated apartment,…
The last couple months have been very packed with travels! But we’re catching up now with the November Bay Area recap! First, dinner at the new, much-lauded Nari. Very delicious, and a beautiful space inside Hotel Kabuki. Alex’s monthly wine club pickup! And a visit to Heath Ceramics. Watched the movie Parasite with Dan and…
I love Emily and Adithya’s albums with their elegant, light grey covers and that beautiful gold debossing! I would put a little gold foil on everything, if I had my way. They opted for one medium 10×10″ album, along with two mini 6×6″s for each of their parents. Such a beautiful looking trio! I…
Over the last few years, it has become a tradition for me to throw creative parties for my birthday each January. If you’ve known me for a while, you might remember past celebrations, including the moody dinner party, spoon carving, pottery, my 10-year business anniversary, and last year’s plant party. This year, my idea started…
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 always love seeing clients’ images presented in these beautiful heirloom albums. You may remember Stephanie and Ben’s fun wedding anniversary party with goats and llamas and everything. We created a simple book with the perfect ‘desert’ luxe linen cover to show off some of their favorite photographs for years to come! See a few…
Here we are with the final monthly recap of 2018. It was a wonderful month on the quiet side, filled with gatherings of friends and family and lots of time at home finishing up my work for the year. First, a gorgeous sunset scene from the Marin Headlands. A little lunch break in the middle…
Stephanie and Ben were wed exactly one year before this party. They eloped in Hawaii and always meant to throw a little reception for their families afterwards, but the timing just worked out better to wait a year and do it as an anniversary party. Though they’ve been together for thirteen years, this would be…
Throwing creative birthday parties for myself has become something of a tradition in the last few years. And since my birthday is in January, it’s also a wonderful way to kick off the new year with a little celebration. This year I was inspired by two of my newfound hobbies from 2017: plants and painting….
Oh, charming Charleston. in mid-July, I headed to South Carolina for my friend Tiffany’s bachelorette party. Our time there was not too debaucherous but pretty adorable. So many cute historic houses and palmetto trees; a candlemaking class; a horse-drawn carriage; and lots of good drinks and great food. See a glimpse below. Love our bride…
