Crème Brands | Studio Tour

Last month I had the immense privilege of photographing my sweet friend Kathryn's studio for her new website. She's the creative genius behind my own site and brand. She is such an inspiring artist. I loved being able to see the space where she creates such beautiful things. Seeing all her brand sketches blew me away. I don't know anyone else who puts as much creative effort into their creations. She has a talent for producing timeless and classic looks. I mean, the girl just knows what she's doing. Of course, I adored her white on white office. The whole room was fresh and clean with beautiful design elements. Kathryn is also one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She is always encouraging, uplifting and simply a joy to work with and be around. I'm thankful for you friend! For the time being you can check her out here or on instagram. I'll be sure to share her gorgeous new branding site when it's up!

Only photography allows you to push pause on a moment in time. Frozen, it lives on in it's frame. There is something magical about it's stillness. Perfect movement now stationary. This is just a little bit of what I'm working on lately. There is much more to come!

It is both a blessing and a curse to be inspired by one's surroundings. I am definitely affected either positively or adversely by the space around me. I have an enormous need for an inspiring space in which to work, especially since most of my time is spent managing things in my office. The time spent creating is only a small fraction of what I do. It's hard to constantly have fresh and new ideas if what is around is only distracting instead of aiding in the creative process.

From this day forth...

One of my favorite parts of a wedding day is the vows. I never tire of hearing them because they are perfectly timeless. It is so powerful to watch two people, hand in hand, gazing into each other's eyes and pledging their lives to each other. From that day forth, they are not two people but one. It's such a sacred moment. I remember saying our vows on our wedding day. I actually messed up and recited, "with this wing" instead of ring. I blame it on the nerves. Standing there in that moment felt so heavy, so wonderful and very surreal. This was the moment we had waited for during our engagement and on the other side of it the rest of our days awaited. We knew there wasn't a fairytale on the other side or that we'd ride off into the sunset with no worries or problems to come thereafter. For better or worse? We didn't know. The moment we left that alter, commitment started as well as the moment by moment decision to choose each other. The beauty of marriage isn't love, although that part is wonderful. It's the choosing day after day after day that marriage is worth it and that the vows they made that day are worth keeping. From this day forth...
