Chris Hsieh of La Brisa Photography came up with a fantastic concept a couple of years ago :: for the entire month of April, to sell our fine art photographs with profits going to our desired local and national/international non-profits organizations and charities. Photography for a Cause began in 2009 with humble expectations, but the overwhelming support has raised $1,009 (2009) and $1,500 (2010) to contribute to amazing charities. This year, the effort has grown to include several other photographers, including me (hooray!), ericamay photography, Scott Bean Photography, Luke Townsend Photography, and Anobel Odisho. Our goal is to collaboratively raise $3,000 this month.

So. A worthy event like this needs a worthy logo! Chris and I had a few discussions about what he felt like his identification should look like, and he was intrigued by the idea of a rubber stamp. So, ideas flowed and the following identification is the result for the event ::

We would be honored with your support! The event kicks off TOMORROW, April 1 and will run the entire month of April. Tomorrow I’ll be posting a sneak peek of my fine art gallery and the organizations I’m benefiting for the event. In the meantime, you can learn more on our Facebook page!

Remember these stunners? I had a bride wish to use the design for her destination wedding to Jamaica this fall (drool…) and wanted the colors to reflect her navy, pink and orange theme. Um….hello, YES!

We custom-tailored the invitations to her color scheme and printed them on silky-smooth pearl paper. Gorgeous. And to accompany the invitation and stationery, we created complementary escort and table cards so the entire event had a cohesive appeal. I was so excited when I received these images from their wedding, photographed by Ronald of Sungold Photography & Associates. Love it when a plan comes together!

Looks like it was an amazing, beautiful day to celebrate!

I’m thrilled to present this year’s designs–each can be customized to your images, wording and come on your choice of pearl (my favorite) or smooth card stock. Just like previous years, the details are the same :: and just as a tip, when ordering, please indicate collection name and the corresponding letter that you’ve selected (Heritage Collection A, for instance)

• Cards are available only as a 5×7 vertical or horizontal—a flat card with full-color digital printing on both sides.
• Comes on pearl shimmer or smooth finish.
• White envelopes are included.
• Price includes shipping (but not sales tax for KS customers only).
• Photos must be submitted as 5×7 jpeg, 300 dpi, emailed to info {at} cathymoresphotography {dot} com.
• Custom orders are available :: please inquire for more information.
• 2009 designs are also available.

Drumroll, please…here they are!

This little microdistillery is going to make big waves in the Midwest, brought to life by two people with a great vision and passion for their craft. I’m excited to have helped them develop a logo that speaks to the beauty and history of the river, and their vision for a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted product.

Congrats, MRD, and wishing you great big things to come!

Congratulations, Leah! Wishing you all the very best!
