Behind the Scenes – Wedding Inspiration at The Biltmore Estate
It is hard to put into words seeing a project of this magnitude come to life. I began my career very humbly…literally building invitations on my dining room table and scrubbing paint of it’s hardwood surface everyday before dinner. Never could I have dreamed that one day I would lead a team of creatives in […]
Inspirations – Happy Valentines Day with a Rustic Floral Pattern for Utterly Engaged Magazine
Today is the official landmark day for love and its one I’ve admittedly left in the dust since college. I’ve been with my hubby since high school and over the years we’ve taken a much more low key approach to this controversial Holiday. To play or not to play is typically the question amidst those […]

My Story is Art – Peony Watercolor Paintings and The Story on Juicy Watercolor
It has been a long winter and that says a lot coming from someone who typically loves cold weather. Don’t get me wrong, I try to see the beauty in all God gives us but sometimes the muddy snow on the side of the street is just plain uninspiring. Over the years I’ve learned to […]
Behind the Scenes – Sepia Wedding Ideas in Bridal Guide Magazine
I’ve been waiting a long, long time to share this project with the world. This funny thing happens in the publishing world…it requires patience – something we all don’t have too much of these days, myself sometimes included. Having your work featured in a print magazine requires an insane amount of patience but as […]
A Peek into the Studio – Watercolor Leaf Wedding Invitations
As we sit here with the freezing wind blowing outside I desperately needed a breath of fresh air…a reminder of all things Spring to come. So here we have it. A few years back I created a collection of wedding invitation suites inspired by the seasons. This Watercolor Leaf invitation suite was my homage to […]
Inspirations – Pink Peony Watercolor Wedding Invitations
My artist brain is swimming in shades of red raspberry, fuchsia and all thing Peony after chatting with Nicole about her wedding invitation vision. When someone love flowers as much as I do, well…I get pretty inspired. How about those etched glass charms? Dreaming up the perfect invitation presentation design to include these lovelies! There […]
Behind the Scenes – Art Shoot at Biltmore Estate Makes Destination I Do Magazine Cover
I love days like today. This post, although completely impromptu, comes with it an insane amount of anticipation. Today a big box of magazine arrived and surprised us all! Last September, my team and I traveled to Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina to make art. Today I’m not planning to say much more…really just […]
Inspirations – Heirloom Peonies and Roses for Wedding Invitations
When the words, Monet, Klimt and Heirloom Roses make their way into the same design conversation, I get pretty well lit up inside. This inspiration board is just the beginning and I cannot wait to see where we land. Monet Peonies, Papers, Heirloom Roses, Klimt Painting, Anne Barge Gown
Inspirations – Rethinking the Black Tie Wedding Invitation
When I envision a black tie wedding I still see in color. Black tie at Momental isn’t about a stark color palette…always. Black tie is more about a level of luxe, fine materials, unexpected textures, layering and yes often color accents in lieu of bold brights. Black tie is less about rules and more about […]
Behind the Scenes – Watercolor Book Wedding Invitations on Oh So Beautiful Paper
Earlier this week Nole at Oh So Beautiful Paper featured one of my favorite wedding stationery suites from 2012. Yes it has been a while since this glorious suite graced our painting tables BUT the process by which it came to be continues to inform our current work. I’m forever grateful to Melanie and Robert […]

Over the years of traveling to Utah I’ve made some friends…yes I’m in with the locals, so to speak. The wedding scene in Southern Utah is overflowing with talent and I’m proud to be part of this group if only part time every year. Jimmy Bishop of Gideon Photography built Southern Utah Bride Magazine from […]
