Custom Recap + Brklyn View Photography

One of my goals for this year is to network more and send heartfelt notes to people I really admire.  Jainé, the photographer behind Brklyn View Photography, is one of those people. I had been following her blog for a while, and when I saw her get published on Style Me Pretty I was so darn excited that I finally decided to email her and introduce myself. After exchanging a few emails (and enjoying really awesome burgers and drinks together) we decided to collaborate on some stationery and head shots. Turns out that Jainé is a paper junkie, and I'm a picture nut, so we were like a match made in heaven!

Jainé loves all things pink and fun, so we decided to create two stationery looks for her. One features lively confetti with her logo on the back, and the other has a hand embossed "thank you" on the front in gold, with bright pink and red stripes on the back. Sounds awesome, right?! I've been playing around with hand-embossing lately and loved that Jainé was on board.

I know, I know, these cards are totally awesome. The icing on the cake is that both sets of cards were paired with hot pink envelopes and gold envelope liners! And I'm not going to lie, I think I'm in love with hand embossing, it's such a beautiful way to add an extra element to designs. Labor intensive, yes, but so very worth it!

Just Another Snowy Day in New York

We've been getting slammed this winter here on Long Island. Normally we might get one semi-large snow storm every year...and when I say semi-large, I am talking relative to Long Island, because here anything over 3 inches is considered a Blizzard. Sad, but true.

Anyway, today was the third or fourth storm that delivered double-digits, and while everybody else is getting sick of the snow, I am LOVING it! Here are some shots I took during our epic winter of 2010 thus far:

 

  

  

 

 

As you can see, I'm a child at heart...I love rolling around in the snow and then going inside for a nice cup of hot chocolate.
