It was because of my wedding that I really honed all my crafts. Calligraphy with dip pens is gorgeous and I love offering it to clients now. Deckle edges, aka hand-torn edges, be still my heart! Wax seals on top of silk ribbon belly bands, I can’t get enough!

I think as creatives and artists, we wonder if we can actually make a living doing what we love. We do it for ourselves and maybe a few friends but the doubt creeps in about how to do it fulltime. I took the plunge just one month before I got married. Talk about stress! But I have no regrets. It was perfect timing. And I hope more creatives will find the strength and courage to turn their passions into careers.

I run my studio out of my beautiful home office in Tallahassee, Florida, surrounded by plants I’m trying to keep alive with my rescue dogs at my feet.

On weekends I’m probably at a wedding, but as a wedding photographer now, not as the bride or guest. And during the week I’m creating invitation suites for couples in love, logos and branding for fellow small businesses, and hosting a podcast for creatives. All from our humble little home with the yellow front door.

DIYing my own wedding really lit my fire and now I love serving brides and businesses alike. I will always try to accommodate your needs. If I don’t have an answer, my network of wedding professionals and fellow creatives probably do. 

Don’t think that custom has to mean expensive either. I’m willing to work within you budget. So drop me a line and let’s work together!
