First, a few things about our holiday cards this year.

mind the splinters, new business cards | modern kids photographer, san francisco

A few years ago when I was in the throws of wedding planning (so glad I don’t have to do that again), my husband and I were thinking of a fun way to design our save the dates. We had already started the process of working with a super-awesome designer for our wedding invites and wanted to save a little money. Btw, if you’re interested in seeing our invites click here. It’s one of my absolute favorite details from our wedding and how could you go wrong with individually screen-printed posters?

A little while back I found a really awesome designer named Eric Smith of idrawallday.com. I really love his style and work and quite frankly wish I could hire him to be my full-time designer.

Daniel Milnor - Swert,

You rock. Can I move into your studio? Freeload for a while?
I make all my supplies out of petroleum products, yours are better, but mine burn for longer. Something to think about when we are living in caves and scrounging for food.
Keep up the good work. I envision total global domination for you.

a tiny visitor | modern kids photographer, san francisco

Today I had lunch with a fellow photographer, Heather Forbes. Her lovely little princess, Jazzy joined us as well. Then we walked over to the studio where Jazzy promptly took over my desk (and my glasses). How cute is this?
