Product Branding

I have been working on my photography business branding for a while now; from brain storming, editing, re editing, creating a design, creating shipping products, ect. and I am so happy to say... I'm DONE!
So here is a sneak peek of my packing branding and what each order will look like when they arrive to the costumer.

I love the deer logo. I thought of using a couple of different logos and packaging ideas but in the end I chose this clean, simple, natural look with the deer.
Why a deer, well for one, they are my favorite animal and second, I wanted to use the slogan "A fleeting moment" which meant the logo had to go with that. Then I just worked around that theme and looked for a natural feel like the wood tag with my photography businesses name on it.
I choose the pink and gray blue honestly, because I liked the way the looked together and with the more neutral colors.
This is what the inside of each box will look like (unless you order a mini session).

The "package" on the left is how the smaller prints will be wrapped to protect them from any scratches during shipping. The wallet prints, usb (if ordered), and a small thank  you gift will be in the deer logo bags. Underneath the filling the larger print/s will be placed and wrapped the same way as the small ones are.

In the above photo you can see the corner of the thank you note I will hand write to each costumer.
I am so excited to have this all done and can't wait to send some out!

Blue Breezes

Now that the days are brighter and longer, Hubby has had some spare time to help get so stuff done around the house. It has been so nice to just be able to hang out with my man and make our house a home.
This weekend he finished spray painting the fan that goes in Button's nursery. You can see it here on the changing dresser that I took back when we were still fixing the room up.

Here is another snippet of it from the same post but a little closer.
We got the fan for free from our old landlords when we moved (they told us we could keep anything left in the house when we left... so we did).

Unfortunately those were the only two I got of it before it got beautified.
Hubby chose a nice, vibrant, blue spray paint to paint it a gloss finish ( topical oasis by valsper) and then just topped it off with a clear sealant spray for an easy, no sanding, done in a day project that really brought new life to this poor dull fan.

I love how it looks in his room now. Its also great to have a little flare with function. Its like have my cake and NOT gaining five pounds! woot!

The color Hubby picked makes it look retro, which totally goes with some of the other vintage things going on in the room... namely this beauty

So I'm geared up, blinged out, and ready for hot summer days with the windows opened, breeze flowing in, and a stun'n fan blast'n!

Button's Three Month Photo Shoot

So much has changed since little man two month photo shoot. For starters, he is awake a whole heck of a lot more. He's so much more fun now and I love hanging out with those cute little cheeks. 

 Hes also improving a lot on lifting his head up and pushing up on his hands.

 Button has a new favorite pass time, sucking on his hand.

Oh my goodness how hes growing so fast!

Runneth Over

Things are finally in full bloom and now I'm just counting down till the day I can eat home made spaghetti sauce made from my home grown garden and have a fresh salad from my front yard! <3

My vase runneth over and so does my joy!

What a beautiful time of year this is, oh how I wish I could stop time and cherish this fleeting time of my life were all is well and blessing abound. How full is my life, how great is my God!

Getting it Booked

Our bookcase in the upstairs hall was majorly lacking in style and class;

probably due to the fact that it was actually a small linen closet before we took the folding door off of it.What ever it was, it was lacking  and boring so me and Hubby got to it and added a little blink to this slim lady.

It makes me so excited now and (slightly) more motivated to get my fat booty up the stairs when ever I want a book. 

Now the bookcase stands out against the (much needed to be painted) off white walls and adds a nice subtle contrast without being over done.

All we did was take out the shelves, measure the inside of the bookcase, cut wrapping paper to the correct size and then tape it up (with the tap on the backside).

Yep, that's right, we used wrapping paper for this project not wall paper. We decided to go this rout because its in an apartment and we wanted to be able to take it down when we move, that, and wall paper costs a LOT more then the wrapping paper we got. We actually got it and planed to use it for this project back in December. It was left overs at target from Christmas so we scored it for $3! Lucky for use it only took one full roll because we neglected to think we would need more then one when we bought it. I would suggest grabbing at least two if you plane on doing a bookshelf like this, just in case.

I'm so pleased that it came out so nice and that we picked a print that actually looks like high quality wall paper.

So there you have it. How we turned a dull, boring linen closet into a fabulous, cleaver, built-in book shelf for $3 and a little elbow grease.

Being A Mommy

My Little man is being extra needy today. I think his tummy's not feeling well and he wont let me put him down. Which is fine for me because it equals extra snuggle time :D. but, it does mean maybe not getting a real post done today like I had hoped *sigh*. Just wanted to let you all know whats up. Hopefully I'll be back with a finished post later tonight but for now, I gotta be a good mommy and hold my sweet Little man.

Oh Sunny Day

Bring on the sunshine, out door cooking, and fun in the sun Summer is on its way!

Little Man, me, and Hubby went to the pool for Button's first time this week and he loved it!

I see lots of fun at the pool this season and am dreaming of cook outs, bushels of garden produce on the grill,  sunny days with hands in the dirt, camp outs, and many days at the pool to come.
