Heirloom Shoot
To me, the word Heirloom conjures ideas of something clean, fresh and authentic…untouched, really. The word Heirloom inspired every moment of this project, from the farmer florist grown blooms we used, to the wood and watercolor stationery I created. Downpour for Hours could have been the name of this project, as it rained buckets that day. […]
Throwback Lobster Boil
I’m a big believer in treating your team right. We work hard…really hard. Yes, we create invitations and have the chance to paint beautiful things everyday and talk to interesting people BUT we work incredibly hard. Long hours, sometimes tears and exhaustion all deserved to be recognized and rewarded. One particular season in Momental History, […]
Utah Shoot
Before executing this shoot, I’d been dreaming up a grand Utah wedding inspiration scene for months, just like a painting begins to evolve in my brain long before I put brush to paper. Lunaria branches were my initial inspiration…their iridescent glow that captures their surroundings in hints of sun washed color. Those fluttery petals seemed […]

Sepia Wedding Inspiration
I’ve been enthralled with Sepia since college…since the first time I picked up a piece of Sepia hued charcoal for my first figure drawing class. Its rich tone is neither muddy or heavy but still intense and powerful. Neither brown nor red, it meets the eye somewhere in the middle of a rosy amber glow […]

Greenhouse Luncheon
A luncheon in a historic greenhouse? Yes please! The sun trickling in early that morning was hard to ignore. Of course, though, it is difficult not to get good light in a greenhouse, but that cold December morning seemed like perfection. Dew on the window panes with succulents and ferns at every turn, the room […]
