A Few Things...

#1) I had the amazing Kristin Rogers take some photos of me for my new portfolio site I'll be launching here (hopefully) soon! I fell in love with Kristin's house just from seeing it all over her Instagram, and asked her if she might be open to the possibility of shooting me there! She was so kind and said yes. You guys, her house is the cutest thing ever. Check out the pics here!

#2) When I was there, I had to get some shots of me with my laptop and coffee thermos, because they're my on the go / work anywhere / get caffeinated buddies I love to have with me. I couldn't take work pics without them!

#3) After the shoot I left her house and was so excited about the fun time we just had that I totally blanked out and forgot my coffee thermos! Not cool. I didn't think it was that big of a deal at the time, but these past few days when I've gone to reach for my to-go coffee thermos, I've had this huge let down of having to use another one- (the other one is my husband's and not nearly as cute) So I've definitely missed that thing. Kristin doesn't exactly live down the street from me, so I'll have to get it another time... it gives us another excuse to hang though! Right Kristin?! ;)

Anyways... all this to say, I was inspired to draw up a little pic of my thermos because I was missing it today. I know, it's so random, but sometimes (well, a lot of times) that's how I get inspired.


Thermos, I miss you. I took you for granted and I can't wait to have you back.

The end.

Logo

So remember this post? Well it is finished friends!

I love working with photographers- they're creative and love to hear new ideas. Working with DJ from Daniel James Photography was no different.

This was our first round of logos. he wanted something that represented who he is, but still resonated with the female crowd he so often works with when he shoots weddings.



We narrowed it down, made a few tweaks, and here it is! The new logo for Daniel James Photography.
The type is handwritten and the icon is custom illustrated. I had so much fun working on this one!


 


AND I have some really cool news for you guys- DJ is going to use his awesome photo skills and be giving away a photo shoot here on this blog tomorrow! You can check out his photography here, come back tomorrow and see more about DJ and his work, and enter to win! woo hoo!


 

Happy Thursday friends!

Breaks

I'm realizing that the harder you work, the better it feels to take a good, solid break.

Resting the mind is so important. And you feel like you've deserved it after a long hard work day.

Just some little things I'm starting to figure out.

Finally

I don't know about you guys, but I FINALLY feel like this week I'm getting back into the real swing
of things after the holiday break. My sister was in town from Portland up until this weekend, and it's hard to get anything done when you have family who you don't get to see often in town!

As much as I loved the holidays, it's now nice to get back to normal. Normal eating, working and scheduling. So I'm getting back on the work horse and being productive. It feels good.
