Stationary on Studio Z's blog!

Last spring we worked with the fabulous Zida at Studio Z, a printing studio in California, to create a letterpress note card. Today Zida featured our project on her blog! Check it out here :: Zida's blog

If you've been reading this blog, you know that I have a serious addiction to letterpress. Oh, how I love, love, love letterpress. I was checking out Sarah Rhodes amazing blog (really, you should check it out!) and came across Zida's letterpress stationary (Sarah has a gorgeous stationary set!). I knew at once that I wanted something similar.

Zida printed a script card + matching envelope for us. It is the most beautiful letterpress on a thick 300 gsm card and I couldn't be happier! Having such lovely stationary makes me want to write notes to people all the time.

Here a a couple photos of Zida's work ::

The Great Catch-Up

Well, well, well. It's about that time again. You know, when I admit to being a bad blogger and beg for your forgiveness then vow to be better at updating, etc. I have to admit :: lately I'm torn between posting the new sessions we're shooting and posting the older sessions we haven't shown you. So ...

In the next two weeks I am going to update the blog with every session we've missed during the summer hectic-ness :: weddings, engagement sessions, family sessions, and a few photos from my one vacation! Then, once we are all caught up, we'll get back to posting photos a couple days after we take them (what a crazy idea!).

So, to kick off the Great Catch-Up, here are a few of my favorite frames from Liz and Brock's Grand Forks wedding in June. It was full of lovely details and fun people!

Liz and Brock's invitations were stunning! Letterpress is a great love of mine :)

Busy week!

We have a busy week ahead of us, filled with lots of senior sessions, family sessions, a Funbooth (YAY!) and a wedding! I'll try to get a few more sessions up on the blog during the craziness ahead ... but for now here are a few favorites from Alish and Zach's wedding on Lake Metigoshe last weekend. It was, in a word, gorgeous!

To Duluth we go!

Despite my best efforts last week, I still didn't get much on the blog! We were out of town every day for photo sessions and that didn't leave us much time for blog postin' :)

Right now I'm in Duluth, Minn., for a two-day engagement session with our fabulous clients Kayla and Doug. When we left Grand Forks this morning it was in the 60s, and the temperature when we arrived in Duluth was 41 and pouring rain. Brr. By the way, did you see that it's June?

We bought rain coats as soon as we got out of the car -- matching rain coats because it's all the store had -- and we had a great session with Kayla and Doug. Here's a shot Kory took of me in my new pink coat :: (Don't you love my hot gloves?)
