I guess this is where I'm supposed to talk about how much I love photography, or the awards I may have won.  I think you may already know that I love what I do, and I hope my images speak to you themselves.  What I would rather tell you what's important to me, and that is my clients.   One of the greatest enjoyments I get out of my business is showing one of my couples their wedding images for the first time.  Watching them laugh, smile, cry.  That's what it's all about, and that's why I love what I do.

Cara McKinlay did the programs at Kristin and Casey’s wedding and I was very impressed. They were creative while still being professional and classy. So I asked her to do a blog interview like the one I did for Mia Sorella. (photo by lisa hessel)

What inspires you?

I go through so many phases and styles but right now I’m loving 1950’s vintage style mixed with a arts and crafts look, so I go to antique and secondhand stores just to look around, get ideas and find little treasures. I’m in love with www.Etsy.com

What kind of products can you provide/design?

My Wedding Package includes programs, invitations, envelopes, direction and rsvp cards, but I also design logos, business cards, event invitations and posters. I also like trying out of the box ideas, someone recently asked me if I could design napkins and I said “lets find out!”

What’s currently at the top of your playlist?

“Every time I make A GIrl Cry I Know I’ve Done my Job” by Band Marino (http://www.bandmarino.net/main.php)

What makes you different?

I love originality and the combining of several ideas to make something new! I’m also quite a style fiend so I’m always trying to make some thing different that’s trendy as well.

These are the wedding program files, front-back and inside. Kristin was originally going to go with a classically simple program but one day she emailed me a picture of a thank you note she absolutely loved. I convinced her to let me do a second program inspired from the thank you note and whalla! it was love at first site :) It put a gigantic smile on my face when I overheard a guest at her wedding exclaim that the programs “are SO Kristin!”.
