Today I designed a book documenting a home birth. Here’s one of the images - mom + baby just hours after the baby’s arrival. Beautiful.

We are so excited to start working with Joel Flory, a SF-based photographer who has such a great eye and fun, creative wedding clients!

We just finished his first sample book, which he featured on his blog. Thanks, Joel!

If you’re looking for a SF area wedding photographer, check out his work and then make your wedding book with us!

Tomorrow we start on Helmer and Emma’s gold mining history in Alaska. Such great photos. And I’m learning a lot about gold mining, of all things.

From a book I’m working on right now.

A photo this newlywed sent to her husband in World War II. On the back she wrote, “My skirt couldn’t be much higher but – look at my wedding band – I still want to pinch myself to see if I’m dreaming – you’re all mine dearest – we’re one forever.”

Love is the greatest.

Shannon just sent me this beautiful image of her holding her newborn girl. I just love it! Something about the black with the lovely blonde lil babe.

We’re using the photo for her daughter’s birth announcements. They’ll be similar in design to Joel McHale’s son Isaac’s announcements which you can see here and here.

Look at this delicious photo that makes me long for summertime. The wonder woman t-shirt, the bright popsicle, that darling little girl hair….too cute.

It’s my favorite image from a book I’m finishing up right now - a travel journal of a family’s 8-week stay in Brooklyn this past fall. We’re making it like a moleskine…can’t wait to see it finished!

University Street Fair, Seattle, May 1974

We just scanned this image for a book I’m working on about the pregnant woman you see pictured with her husband and daughter. I totally love this image. It is such a real moment - makes me want to have a photographer follow me and my family around to capture the real moments!

This image is from a book I’m working on right now to celebrate a 75th birthday. I totally love this shot. She is stunning, and he is captured perfectly with that little wink and smile. Yup, things are looking A-OK, indeed.

Isaac is the son of my dear friends Sarah and Joel McHale. Yes, the Joel McHale of Soup fame, and a great friend of mine since high school.

So when Sarah and Joel asked me to make their son Isaac’s announcements, I simply could not think traditional baby blue sweetness. Sarah is one of the most stylish people I know, and Joel is one of the most…Joel people I know! So this definitely called for some fun.

Enter 3 year-old big brother Eddie with a quote to save the day, “He looks like a bald man.” Indeed. That became the centerpiece for the announcements, which you can see here. We letterpressed the cover and digitally printed the accordion fold out page.

If you’re interested in having an announcement like this for your child, get in touch. Pricing starts at $150 for 25 qty.
