I love getting back to my painting roots. I first fell in love with art (drawing and painting) before I ever started into Graphic Design. In fact, in College I double majored in Graphic Design and Fine Art. So painting has always been really close to my heart. And I love it when I get the time to create new work. I want to share with you a really easy technique that I think you will really love to try as well.

I absolutely love the simple yet dynamic effect of this art piece. It is sooo easy. It literally took me only a few minutes to complete from start to finish. I used images from magazines but i think it would be AWESOME if you were a photographer and used this technique to display hints of your photos in your office or studio. I think that would be a KILLER and unique way to showcase your work…. Without being to cheesy…. ya know? Or it would be a really artsy way to use your family photos as well. I don’t really have pictures of me and Brian around the house… So might consider doing something like this with our photos. Without blabbing on, below is the HOW-TO.

This past weekend we had a design party, meet up, work party, hang out, fine dinning kind of weekend. I have been sooo blessed this past year to get to work with some amazing designers, partnering on inspiring design projects. I have been working with a girl, her name is Liz, from Sacramento for almost a year now on design projects. AND WE HAD NEVER EVEN MET!! So Alex and I invited her to come out, hang out, meet us, and spend some time together. It was so weird/AWESOME/and enlightening to meet someone we knew… but didn’t. haha. She was WAY better than I expected. I knew she was cool (thats why we invited her)…. But I just didn’t know she would be THAT cool. haha ya know?

OH BOY! We are SO excited to share our latest website design and branding project!

Gabriel Ryan Photographers came to us this year wanting branding and website redesign, and we couldn’t have been happier to work with one of the nicest and talented photographer duos out there -Gabriel and Carlie. They are extremely passionate for about what they do. And they have flawless taste. And their style and aesthetic is extremely important to them. That made designing their brand and site really fun. It was a true collaboration. I love the way their minds think.

I just wanted to take a minute and share with you the photos from my hubby, Brian’s cd release party. I am a P-R-O-U-D wifey!! Can i brag a little? Hahaa. The night was such an amazing night for worship. There were graphics in the back that depicted the song’s, mood, and mindset. It created an AMAZING worship Experience. I was blown away and I even get chills as I type this. The screen graphics were done by the amazing Stephen Proctor. He is a “VJ” (visual jockey) at: WorshipVJ.com

There were a little under 1,000 people there and they were cheering and engaged in the experience. We left this night very thankful, supported, and excited for the future. The Album was created to connect people to God and to Glorify him only… and that was definitely done that night. I’m so proud of Brian for letting God work through him like he does.

I was very excited that the very talented Melissa JIll asked me to shoot her new promo photos for her website. ACTUALLY, I was honestly REALLY surprised that she asked me to do them, because I am by no means talented enough to photograph OTHER photographers. YIKES! As you know she has a Rock-star of a photography business going, and as I have put down my camera for a season I was anxious and nervous about shooting her. I imagined that she was cringing inside, while she watching me direct, position, and instruct her do silly/embarrassing things. But she insisted that I lead the charge on this photoshoot…. And it turned out to be SUPER fun… and very inspiring. I did find out that MELISSA WILL DO ANYTHING YOU TELL HER TO DO. HAHHAA. What a great model. I will definitely remember that in my next shoot with her. hahha jk… well maybe.
