PHOTO RECAP OF A SILLY NIGHT

the daylights and katy perry at the marquee

daley, becoming our good friend and our soon to be wedding photographer was in town and on tour with the daylights. He got brian and I and Jon asher in last night at the marquee. They put on a good show, katy perry was a really good performer but pretty crude. Daley took the stage shirtless and jon asher was a great merch salesman. It was good to be with fun great people.

haha. brian and jon running merch for the daylights

brian, will you please sign my daylights album?

this wins

Another thanks to Daley Hake for recommending me to Re-brand his whole look, including a logo, print promos, interview style promo video, and a new website. HOW FUN. I am not doing this all by myself, their will be some wonderfully talented people that i will outsource to. more deatils and photos to come.

MY STUDIO IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

soo.. now that i am not in the office. I DONT HAVE A PLACE TO WORK. I had my laptop on my lap the whole day working on project and design concepts and Just because i was on the couch i felt SUPER lazy. But i was getting a ton done. A lot of people would say SWEET.. but when i seriously need a place to work. So this is my studio in progress… the very beginning progress of course. But its just perfect size. I have a computer, check, posters and art, check, easles, check, and a room, check. My next order of business is a DESK. haha. anyone giving one away? 🙂 haha jk. here are a few photos I took messing around the other day. Please dont mind the mess or the grain in the photos.

here are some options that i like from ikea.

JENNYVI DIZON COUTURE

SORRY BOYS. This is a pretty girly post this time. So, I found my dress!!! kind of. I looked and looked to find a dress. I was looking for something different than a strapless white white dress with a bunch of beads on it. That look is very lovely of course… but not me. And that type of dress really tends to be the trend right now and it’s hard to find anything else.

I got a recommendation for a lady and then she passed me on to Jennyvi designs. I was impressed by her website and intrigued to email her. So it did, and we ended up meeting for coffee and talking through some details. She is so sweet, easy to talk to, approachable, and really truly cares for the bride and what she would like for the day. The price is perfect, and I felt like she really understood the direction I wanted to go. This girl is only in her late twenties and has been sewing and designing since she was ONLY 5 years old. How crazy is that?!?! Her father was a tailor and taught her when she was very young. I got my measurements taken the other day and i am so excited to see it. 🙂 i will let you know how things go down. Here are a few photos…some from her catalog.

She even drew up some designs on the spot of what i was thinking and describing to her.

Its so fun, that as an artist, I get the opportunity to custom design my own wedding dress. There are so many endless possibilities.

A FRESH START to an exciting journey

A sad but really exciting day.

i got some goodbye glasses

cornerstone has been a growing//strengthening place

I am excited and very sad to say that this past thursday was my last day employed at cornerstone christian fellowship. Turning in my keys, signing paperwork, cleaning out my desk, and saying goodbye brought tears to my eyes. Closing a chapter in my life is always so hard for me. I am a very sedimental person, and I hold on to memories. I hold on to days, chapters, situations, and settings in my life. I will greatly miss working next to the most amazing people, and doing life together as we stare into the glare of the computer screen. In general I am an intervert But somthing about being with and next to people makes my heart very happy and very hard to leave.

pretty flowers

The great news is that I am taking a risk and spreading my wings. God has been so faithful and at this time I am ready to continue to pursue my dreams. I have a lot of changes coming up that i am excited to share with you. I have a few large projects coming up, and also a revamp on some of my online sites. such as my blog. Woohoo. I am so stoked to have a new blog template and to continue to grow this community online. I hope you will stay with me through these changes. I really appreciate everyone who reads and comments on my blog. A huge thank you to all of you who are so encouraging. This new blog has lots of room to grow. I will eventually have a shop, ad space, and some new features on my official website. so many exciting things coming up.

new blog coming soon

I came across this website that you can upload your images to guitar picks. Haha how fun is that? Here is a quick showing of it in action. Its super easy to use and actually fun. I am not going to use this exact image but it gives you an idea. So do you think its a GO?? Yes or no. I am gonna base my decision off of your answers. Everyone must put their two cents in. YES or NO

FAVORITE WEDDING IMAGES AND IDEAS

birds and feathers

Considering I have never been a girl to dream about my wedding, I had no idea where to start or what the etiquette was for wedding situations and themes. I loved these images. I searched on all wedding websites for fun unique images that represented brian and I. I love researching fun ideas compiling them together to see how it can really be done. That is so fun. I hope you can enjoy these images. I know not everyone is planning a wedding or will.. but i thought these were fun and inspiring non the less. Any thoughts on the headbands, or feather boutonnieres?
