I am so excited to share the latest reveal for my new branding... my new website!  It was way over due!  As a matter of fact, I have been laying it out in my head for a year now and when I realized I just didn't have the time to do it myself, Michael over at Mynted hooked me up.  I love it.  Head on over and let me know what you think.

I love the vintage post-office vibe! I can't wait to hire you as our photographer some day!

Yesterday afternoon I received a box of happiness from UPS.  Actually, it was from Matthew over at A Fine Press and inside was my new letterpress business cards and thank you notes plus a way cool wax seal.  

I found A Fine Press through another blog somewhere and once I saw he had created a wax seal for someone else, I knew he was my guy. I've had a few ideas for my new branding for some time and I want to thank you, Matthew, for collaborating with me on my notes and vision and running with it.  And thank you for putting up with me too during those times when I'd ask you to move something over a pixel!  lol  You rock!

I was thrilled to learn yesterday that I have received the 2012 Editors Choice Award from Two Bright Lights, an industry powerhouse.  Is this where I give my speech?  I'd like to thank all the great clients I've had who helped make this possible! No really, I would. I must say, it's nice to be recognized amoung my peers.

Off to shot a wedding today and a Mitzvah tomorrow.  Hope everyone's weekend is fabulous!

I can't believe it's been a year since my step-dad passed away. A year. A challenging year filled with days of missing him.  Of wanting to call him.  This time last year we were nursing him in hospice and I had some amazing clients that were so very patent with me.  {I will always be grateful to you all by the way.}  

I had so much joy with him in my life.  One of my favorite things about him was what a fabulous Grandpa he was.  During all the time he spent with my kids when they were little, he could get them to sleep like no one {and he usually fell asleep too}.  I was going through a ton of photos a few days back and came across this photo of him and my son when he has about three and a half.  Such a typical pose for these two!  Love and miss you...
