Portland.

I went to Portland for work last weekend for a few days. Before the true "work" started I was able to get out and enjoy the city a bit. I hadn't been since I was 13 or so, so it was a lovely surprise to discover that I really, really enjoyed the city and the beautiful surroundings. I made it to the waterfalls, International Rose Test Garden, Japanese Gardens, the Portland Saturday Market (on Sunday, but what a great demonstration of the cities commitment to the creative peeps) and also stumbled upon the naked bike ride, pride parade, great street food and some old friends. Below are a few pics from the weekend...which was a great kick-off to my renewed commitment to photography!

Babies.

One of my BFF's is having a baby in September! I love new little babies...and designing them their very own suite of stationary. First up? The baby shower! The whole JW2/JW3 thing is something you might not get if you don't know the happy parents-to-be, but I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Harper.

I was absolutely delighted to design the birth announcement for my cousin's new baby Harper...I guess that makes the little dude my second cousin? His parents are absolutely delightful and this project was so much fun!
