floor art

Filed under: inspiration — melissa @ 3:57 pm

i just came discovered warp & weft, a gallery showcasing the most beautiful collection of antique rugs. i love the variety of colors, patterns and scale! some are wide as 20 feet. i also love that they’ve already warmed other floors, some date back to the 1600’s.

the shack family

on friday i photographed the shacks, my first project heirloom family. even though their three girls have moved away from san diego, they all came home for thanksgiving with their husbands (and of course jen brought their two cutie boys too!). here are a handful of photos from the shoot.

thanksgiving

Filed under: thanks and appreciation — melissa @ 8:33 pm

i know that thanksgiving was a few days ago but it took me until now to put my thoughts to paper, or keyboard as the case may be. when i was little thanksgiving was my favorite holiday, we all would go to my uncle’s house in rural pennsylvania where the cousins would play ping pong and pinball in the basement until dinner was ready. i love being in a house full of family and yummy food and especially appreciate a whole day set aside for this very purpose. since i neglected to take a photo of the delicious almost from scratch pumpkin pie that i made, please enjoy this photo i took in NYC last month. on this thanksgiving i am particularly grateful for all of the travels i am fortunate enough to go on, a house in san diego to come home to, my health, my amazing job and of course my family, friends and wonderful clients.

recycled business cards

Filed under: news — melissa @ 11:38 am

i just had these business cards made and am SO happy about them. they are letterpress, which means that a custom plate is created to embosses (get ready…) recycled cereal boxes. each card is totally unique. they are fun and funky and environmentally friendly
