My New Favorite Stationer

As you may now know, I'm no longer creating stationery suites for weddings, etc. It was great for 6 years, but after the birth of my son, it became very difficult to keep up with clients, have meetings, and meet deadlines. Now that I kind of have a handle on my boy, I'm heading back to my first love of photography! I love love love weddings and working Saturdays is very conducive to my schedule as a mom :) In fact, if you're getting married, check out my giveaway to win FREE wedding photography! 

The good news is that I found a great local (San Francisco) stationer who creates the most beautiful wedding invites! Her name is Kerry and she rules over at Paper Dahlia. Her work can be seen at Minted, Pressroom & Co., Big Cartel, and of course on her site! She has recently launched a few new letterpress designs that are really sweet! Here are a few photos!

Map Schmap

Fun news! Schmap is using a photo of mine they found on Flickr (with my permission, of course). They're using this one, from the Conservatory of Flowers. And, a sample screen shot of their iphone app includes my photo, too! 

Party at The Palace

I had the luxury of a weekend alone and decided to book a room at The Palace Hotel (downtown SF) to celebrate. It was a gift from my adorable husband- thanks, Chris!! If you ask any mom, a weekend alone is pretty much a dream come true! Sleeping in, shopping, eating slowly, relaxing in a hot tub, oooohhhh, it was amazing! I even had a really nice dinner at Café Claude.

Upon arriving home, it only took 10 minutes to spill burrito bits on my new dress. 

Fleishhacker Pool

My husband took the little guy to the zoo this morning and I can't help but wonder what their trip to the zoo would be like if this pool were still there instead of the current zoo parking lot. More info and photos of Fleishhacker Pool can be found here.
