Here’s a peek at our Valentines envelopes that went out last week! If I didn’t love designing logos so much, I’d drop everything to start that custom envelope biz right now! 💌

Head over to the blog to read the Q&A I had with @sarahainsworthphoto after her projects wrapped up. Learn about how she started her photography business, where she dreams of shooting, and what she thought of the [re]branding process. 🤔
.
If your goal is to book bigger gigs or increase your prices, you need a brand that will attract those dream clients. Presentation is everything these days, and we would love to help you uplevel your business. Now booking late April / early June!

Getting everything in place for the week. 🙌🏼
.
I finally decided to crawl out of my hole and do some networking in person, and I’m so glad I did. (I finally met @kindlybykelsea in person, and I loved meeting everyone at my table at @tuesdaystogetherhtx.)
.
Recently, I read a great post by Jenika McDavitt about *luck* when it comes to business. If you think successful people are simply luckier than you are, think again. A study shows that so-called “lucky” people have THIS in common :: they meet a lot of people. That’s it! If you make a consistent effort to meet a variety of people, the chance of you meeting the right one is greater. Simple as that. Doesn’t that make so much sense?! I loved reading that. What a great reminder to get out, even if you think you’re too “busy” to network.
.
Jenika has some amazing resources about psychology for creative professionals. I highly recommend her blog!

A mock-up of the logo for The Big & Little Animal Rescue Ranch.
.
In case my previous post seemed super random to you (and you don’t know me personally), I have a THING for dogs. When I was little, I wrote “dog” on my Christmas list every year until we got one when I was in seventh grade.
My dad was an avid animal lover as well, and after he passed away in 2008, I adopted a pit mix after fostering her for two weeks. She was nothing like the outgoing, boisterous golden retrievers I grew up with. She was scared of everything :: walks, objects held in your hand...even trash bags sitting on sidewalks. I still remember how excited we were the first time she accepted a toy and “played” with it. Over the years, she became a beloved member of our family and my loyal companion. She helped me through the loss of my dad, then years and years of not being able to have a baby.
This logo is based on her silhouette, and this little ranch is what I hope to build one day. The monogram has even more meaning to me because B and L are my dad’s initials. :)
.
Anyway, if you’re still reading this... when I say “your logo should tell a story,” this is a great example. If you’d like to work together on something special, please contact me via our website. Spring is booking up quickly but I would be honored to have the opportunity to tell YOUR story! 🖤

Anyone interested in this custom monstera leaf wax seal stamp? I’m cleaning out part of my studio and looking to rehome this little guy. For fun, I’d love to try to raise a small donation for my favorite local animal rescue, @cap4pets.
.
Here are the rules:
- Bidding starts at $10. Your bid includes the cost of First Class shipping anywhere in the US.
- To bid, comment below with your dollar amount and tag the person above you (so they know they’ve been outbid).
- Each bid must increase by at least $1.
- Auction ends in 24 hours.
- I will DM the highest bidder. You must reply, make a payment via PayPal, and provide a shipping address within 24 hours or you forfeit your winning bid.
- All proceeds (minus the cost of shipping) will be donated.
.
Only ONE of these wax seal stamps is left and it could be yours for the price of filling a homeless pup’s belly!!!
.
P.S. Even if you don’t bid, I’d really appreciate you sharing this with someone who loves snail mail! Thank you so much!

I don’t know about you, but rainy days are the most productive for me. There’s something about having to stay in and get cozy that gets me excited to hole up in the studio, make a cup of tea, and CREATE. Whatever it is you need, I hope you find it this Monday morning!

Gearing up to show you a couple of new SquareSpace sites that launched recently! In the meantime, here’s a peek at a little surprise I have coming for Valentine’s Day. Any guesses? (It’s not stamps, but it IS snailmail-related.) 🥑✉️
