Beachy Baby

I loved doing these letters for Baby Audrey! She is going to have one of the most peaceful baby rooms ever. Why? Because it is a Beachy Baby Room! She may even come into the world wearing flip flops....

Here are her Beachy Baby Letters


Thank You Dena for letting me paint these for your little girl!

But she looks SO sweet !?!

She looks so sweet doesn't she? innocent even??


Then, there is Saturday evening...it's been a long day...pregnant mom (aka me) lays back on the couch and closes her eyes for a second....apparently, a second was plenty of time for my almost 2 year old to decide I MUST be thirsty and pick up my ice water....and poor it on my face!!!!!!! AGGGHHH!!! Sorry I was too busy jumping around the living room to get a photo of the results.

But........

she looks so sweet....

Summer Dresses

I told you I was still painting! Lately I have had more requests for my bow holder designs to be painted on the adorable little dress shapes I get! I think these dresses are so cute and girly, so it's fun to try and get other designs to work with them!
Here are two I did recently, a Princess dress Bow Holder, and Pretty In Pink as a Dress Bow Holder! You can see the original designs HERE




Guess what my little princess is wearing this hot summer.....dresses! Here she is after a bowl of spaghetti (see the sides of her mouth) cuddling her favorite baby!

Temptation Thursday

A pretty sleeveless maternity tank top... for a pregnant girl who lives in Florida?

FOR $12.50 at Old Navy!
The temptation was too great....I caved and bought one.

Baby Brain

Well, if I have seemed a little scatterbrained lately....I have one very good excuse....this Baby in my belly is sucking out my good brain cells! That's right, Baby #2 is on the way! I am 13 weeks pregnant and was fortunate to have a beautiful UltraSound this week to show how the little guy is doing!
Yes, I said guy.....amazing to me (I wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't there!) this baby decided to show off his gender at only 13 weeks! We were able to see where the umbilical cord was, and it was not the umbilical cord! We are thrilled and in shock. We have a beautiful daughter and couldn't imagine a better fit for our family than a little son. Enjoy the pictures (sorry for the quality)
I decided not to add his "spread eagle" pose....

LOGOS!!

No, I haven't given up painting! I just have been painting things I have already shown. In a few weeks I will be receiving an order of letters and have several more names to post for your pleasure!
This however doesn't mean I am not working! I have been putting more time into Kori & Kate! We have been expanding what we offer in Marketing, as that's what people NEED right now! People are looking for a way to make themselves stand out and be remembered, and that starts with branding. As a graphic designer, this is one of my favorite projects.
We have been working on quite a few custom projects, and in my free time, I have been creating a good amount of PREMADE logos!! You can purchase these logos much cheaper than having a custom one designed, and we only sell each one ONCE, so no one else will have the same one.
Look for them to be up next week, but here are a few samples.













Check Kori & Kate for these updates next week, but if you want one of these for your business, email me and we will mark it as sold!

Kori & Kate

HOLA! I can't believe it's Friday....Again.....Wow! Does anyone else feel like life is moving at warp speed lately? I guess as long as I take at least a minute to dance and sing with my little girl every day, I am blessed!

Today, I wanted to "officially" introduce my new company that I opened with my friend Kate in late January.... Kori & Kate ! I know most of you are familiar with it already, but I realized I didn't actually announce it here, and as this blog is growing more about my "whole" life, and not just painting...it's only fair to include all businesses/obsessions.

SO....WELCOME KORI & KATE!
We create all sorts of goodies for photograhers, from card templates, to album templates, to logo design and marketing material! All of our designs are original, drawn by us and imported into photoshop to create the finished products! The template come as photoshop documents and download immediately upon purchase! The cool thing is, all of our designs are COMPLETELY customizable!! That means you can change EVERY color, add different backgorunds, move elements, resize things, or even drag and drop our elements into anything else you are working on! Here is a sample of a new card template we just added....enjoy!

Feel free to pass this along to any photographer friends! =)
