I took a step back in 2025 to focus on family, but I feel so lucky to have worked with my favorite 2025 couples! This year's signage was everything and I'm counting down to 2026!

We hid FHB's iconic logo in the backdrops of their holiday party. How many mahiole can you spot?

What material would you choose for your wedding day, wood or acrylic?

Personally, I love working on acrylic signs because of how forgiving and chic it looks, but wood signs are definitely much more photogenic!

I recommend having the acrylic slightly painted or putting the acrylic against some greenery so your guests can see the message!

If you are interested in either material for your wedding day feel free to contact me for a quote!

The number one day of stationery you should considering getting is...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A WELCOME SIGN!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Its a great addition to your wedding/reception decor. A sign to welcome your guests and letting them know they are in the right place!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I get a lot of last minute orders on welcome signs so stay ahead of the game and add a welcome sign to your checklist!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, thank you so much to and Gabby from for letting me participate in this one of a kind style shoot!

I met Ashley because I saw the amazing maternity photos she took of and fell absolutely in love with the way she captured everything and knew instantly that I wanted to work with her!

Mind you, I was 35 weeks when we took our maternity shoot I wasn’t feeling pretty at all. I felt heavy, gross, and uncomfortable, but Ashley made me feel so beautiful and confident! She made me glow!

As a mother herself, Ashley is a true inspiration proving that with hard work and perseverance, you can do it, you can have it all. She’s a badass!

I am so glad to have met her and I’ve become her hype girl and one of her biggest fan! Definitely check her out for your upcoming maternity shoot, elopement, and family photoshoot! She’s worth it! 📸💫

Tips on how to have a consistent ink flow! 👇🏽

1. You know your ink is too thick when there is little ink flow, like in this video!

Solution: Add drops of distilled water and mix until you have the consistency you want.

2. Your ink is too diluted when you make ink blobs whenever you press to write.

Solution: Add a little gum Arabic and mix until ink is a bit more thick.

3. If it’s not your ink, check your nib it might need some cleaning. I dip my nib in ink cleaner in between writing to remove ink build up and paper snagging.

4. You might need to change your nib if it’s old and rusty.

5. Try fixing your angle and try to keep your nib 45 degree from the paper!

Let me know if you have questions and don’t forget to save this post for future reference!
