custom hula luau invitations

cant find the invite that matches your party decor? or dont think the colors goes with your picture? no problem and no extras charges to customize your invitation. as a designer, i want my cards to look thier best too. here is an example of one from today. she picked this hula invitation, but mom thought the colors of her dress would match better, and she was right :)

so i switched up the colors and altered the flowers :)

custom alphabet zoo invitation: happy birthday graham!

i am so excited to share this one.

stephanie, you are one of my favorite customers. although we have never met, i feel like i know you. with the combination of reading your blog, and through making your little guy's birth announcement, your family's holiday card and now his first birthday invitation, you seem more like a friend than just a customer. your little guy has grown so fast. I am so glad you found my cards last year and have kept coming back to me for all your custom card needs. i was so excited to see your theme this year as i have been wanting to add more zoo invitations to my designs, so thank you.

and here it is, graham's 1st birthday invitation. it is made to match the alphabet zoo birthday theme and we made it on my 5x7 cardstock, so full color on both sides.

also shown are the past cards i have made for the neipling family :)

happy birthday graham!!!
stephanie, i look forward to working with you again soon!!!

the saying is something similar to one i found in a book, but i totally modified it. so it isn't the same one you may have seen before (but can also be changed):

"Rocks in pockets and big bear hugs, little red wagons and jars full of bugs.
Puppy dogs, frogs & lots of toys, all the joys of little boys!"

autumns creek: my new look

the new look for autumns creek custom cards:




i had been wanting a new logo for a while and once i ran out of business cards, i knew it was the time. talk about difficult logo clients, i am the worst, lol. it took a a while for me to commit to a design, but here it is. as a girl, i have always been a doodeler and i always catch myself doddeling hearts and flowers. so, of course, here is my new logo with a flower (of sorts) made out of hearts. five hearts, one for each member of my family. a big blue one for the mister, a pink one for me, a muted brown for my oldest son, green for my middle son and another shade of pink for my little girl. 5 hearts coming together :)

great photo cards start with great pictures - photography 101

and, great pictures usually start with great eye contact!!

i get many moms (ok, a couple dads too), that email me, frustrated that they do not have any good pictures. first, let me say that when all is said and done, every picture you have documenting your children's lives are ALL good pictures. while, i will agree that every picture may not be technically correct, or what some people may call "frame-worthy," as a photographer and a mom, there is something magical, about every picture.

so, blah blah blah, you get the sappy stuff, but you want a technically better photos of your kids? okay, glad you asked :) great photos usually start with these main things; good light (which to me is natural light, never flash), good composition and eye contact. notice i didn't say a good camera? that is because it isn't the camera, it isn't. when non-photography people see my pictures, many say, "wow, you have a great camera." well, that is like calling a chef to your table and saying, "wow, what great pans you have." :)

i will admit that a great camera can take higher resolution pictures, handle low light better and even capture better compositions with full frames, but if you don't have the basics down, the best camera in theworld can't take a great photo on it's own.

today, i am going to share a secret about one of the main things behind a great photo, eye contact. some of you tell me your child wont look at you runs, away, etc. there are some great ways to fix this. for little babies (at least 6 weeks) eye contact can be acheived. use a bell, whistle or some other form of noise and they will look at you, then click.

for the older ones, there are many things to try;


  1. try singing them a new song - itsy bitsy spider, while doing the spider with one hand works wonders
  2. tell them jokes.
  3. whisper, like you are telling a secret and most kids will stare.
  4. ask if you have something on your camera (hey lizzie, is there a butterfly on my camera?)
  5. and finally, there is always bribery. sometimes a great shot may cost you a bag of m&m's, but it will be worth it :)

    below are some of my favorite shots that i have taken for friends with great eye contact!
