Lassie, come home

KLP Designs moves AGAIN for the third and final time in a year. And while one could ask if I'm really picky about office space or whether I enjoy having life in varying degrees of chaos, I'm going to plead the fifth. Especially if the question relates to the new pajama-friendly business environment of my newest office space.

Ho, ho, hello there Holidays!

I realize my blogging has been pretty lackluster over the last month, but I finally feel like I'm back in the creative swing of things so hopefully will be posting more regularly. And what a better kick in the pants of inspiration than when I opened up the Snapfish holiday catalog over the weekend and one of my card designs was in there!

Something...happy

 I haven't had a chance to photograph all the invitation components yet from our wedding, but I loved this little montage that Jenny put together of the wedding bits. The mason jars Staci and I painted made me giddy to see all decked out, and scouting the perfect nature trail was a total success when paired with Jenny's amazing eye.

Something blue... ribbon

Woohoo for the Texas State Fair and an enormous congratulations to Anna for her First Place photography ribbon today.

Now if she could only photograph some fried butter so I could REALLY be impressed...

Afterglow...and afterglow photoshoot

I couldn't have imagined a better wedding day than Saturday; with all of my best friends and family present; gorgeous weather after a stressful weather report for the last week; and the most amazing wedding photographer and friend by my side through all the stress, smiles and tears.

And after a day of fun, we set out for a (very short) day of work yesterday for an afterglow shoot without the wedding nerves present. I had to laugh at this shot we planned for the invitation details: I've definitely never art directed a shoot so decked out before!

A tasty photoshoot

The Diner on Glenwood just hired a new chef and is being reborn as a modern take on the classic diner concept. Case in point, the insanely delicious fried green tomato app and chicken and waffles I got to sample during our Very Serious food photoshoot. KLP Designs is definitely up for more freelance as tasty as this was. And look at my menu design on the cook line!

Is it too late to get a real wedding cake?!

I've been in the cupcake camp for my wedding dessert since the first day of planning, mostly because I'm usually that girl crowding around the table full of extra slices, and that's plain awkward at your own wedding. But today I found something that makes me want to turn back the hands of engagement-time and take a mulligan:

Miniature wedding cake replicas!!! 

Jessieraye, you may be the coolest designer around. My champagne glass is tipped to you.
