Branding: Autumn & Oak Salon Danville

Design work for new businesses is one of my favorite projects to work on! It’s so exciting to be part of the planning stages for something new and being able to help support the new vision. It’s always interesting to start with a client’s insight and ideas and turn those into a visual icon to represent the business.

I recently had the honor of working on a brand new logo design for Autumn & Oak Salon in Danville, California. I’m excited to see this business grow and thrive in the hands of the new owner!

Baby Shower Design: Colorful Butterflies

After sending out the invitations, it was time to put together decor for the event! I had so much fun modifying the colorful butterflies to decorate so many pieces for the party space. I tried to take the decorations and make it fun and fitting to celebrate the mama-to-be and friends. I always have so much fun putting all the little details together and mixing them throughout the event to make it extra special.

Baby Shower Invitation: Colorful Butterflies

A new invitation design for a baby shower with colorful butterflies! I took a traditional color scheme and updated it to be more saturated and gave the butterflies some geometric design for added interest. It was fun to take an expected theme and update it to be modern and playful.

These are truly some of my favorite people and I’m happy to be able to capture them through photos! They made it easy to capture a beautiful set of photos during our time together. We did a quick session, which ended up being part photos, part playtime and lots of fun.

Family Photos: the Wolffs 2020

These kids are always excited to explore, so we headed to a new park for this year’s photo session. Everyone had fun among the Redwood trees and we ended up with a great set of photos, showcasing a fun time spent outdoors. I’m always happy to see families each year and capture their growth together!

Family Photos: the Penticos 2020

Always a fun time with this family! They contacted me early and kicked off my Fall family sessions with a lovely set of photos on a sunny day. It’s easy to make these kids laugh and we had a good time making silly faces and laughing together.

Family Photos: the Wolffs 2019

After taking last Fall off for maternity leave, I got the chance to see some of the same families again this year! I met up with the Wolff family and enjoyed catching up with all of them. We found an interesting fish pond, practiced some cartwheels and explored as many paths as possible. Such a great set of photos!

Time seems to go by so fast these! Sometimes it’s hard to create time to capture your family as the days and years rush by. That was the case for this family, so I was happy to take some time to get some new family photos with them.

Wedding Photos: Jamie & Travis (San Francisco, California)

Weddings are such a special event, I am always excited to capture the emotions of the day. Jamie and Travis held their ceremony at San Francisco City Hall (always a favorite of mine!) followed by an afternoon reception in Livermore, California. There were lots of beautiful touches throughout the day that were close to the bride and groom’s heart and the guests had so much fun celebrating in the sunshine.

Wedding Photos: Dana & Eddie (Castro Valley, California)

Dana and Eddie’s were married on the Summer Solstice, holding their wedding festivities at the bride’s childhood home. The ceremony and reception fit perfectly into the outdoor space, making the whole event feel very personal and intimate for the guests. The bride and groom are such warm, welcoming people and had a wonderful time celebrating with their family and friends.
