peepshow
Posted: July 24th, 2010 | Author: SommerI am turned on in a big way.. this week we had the first glimpse of color in the in the garden.
What kind of spread will we get from the tomatoes this year? My mind has begun to run wild.
welcome to the world
Posted: July 17th, 2010 | Author: SommerWelcome to the world Josie! Thank you for letting us capture your pretty baby face.
family time
Posted: July 9th, 2010 | Author: SommerNow that we’ve entered the world of parenthood we are noticing families everywhere. It is fascinating to see how children resemble their parents isn’t it?
This spring we did a family shoot and here are a couple favorites, below.

special delivery
Posted: June 13th, 2010 | Author: SommerHere’s the label brand boy: Nico Augustine and he’s more beautiful than anything I have ever designed before….
hot off the presses
Posted: June 10th, 2010 | Author: SommerAnd now our very first step in to product design – Cookmarks. Cookmarks are silicon topped bookmarks designed especially for use in the kitchen. They are extra large on top so they easily open pages, avoiding messy fingerprints on your favorite cookbook, are color coded for situations when you have more than one recipe going at once and they are easy to wipe down after use.
Cookmarks are a Label Brand and Trident Design LLC joint venture. And they were just featured in the July issue of Clean Eating! Super excited about it! And you can purchase you’re very own set for some favorite home chef at this link.
yummy yummy june
Posted: June 6th, 2010 | Author: SommerAren’t the colors of June just beautiful? Are you eating in technocolor as well?
a big 5 OH(my) fotobooth
Posted: May 30th, 2010 | Author: SommerI wanted to share this fotobooth where little colored papers were folded to create a backdrop and where guests wrote a wish for the Birthday Boy. And sometimes that’s all it takes; a well placed fotobooth will get em every time.
Can you tell that this one was particularly out of control in a perfectly wonderful way? See below and more on Flickr.
let’s play a game
Posted: May 14th, 2010 | Author: SommerWe’ll call it: Where in the World is Miss. Josephine?
A first installment below. Her and her husband (hi Abraham) are traveling around the world for a year with no particular agenda except for having the adventure of their lives. Are we all jealous enough? What about after you look at the beautiful picture she took? Now are you turning green? Call me Envy.
I’m excited to see the next stop. For those of you who have not looked through her travel photos from previous trips you can at her beautiful website.
hungry for more design?
Posted: May 11th, 2010 | Author: SommerA little nibble for you: if you have not you should definitely scope out Design Mom’s blog
Last week our fabric boutonnieres on Afterhours made Design Mom notice. That’s big fun!
a new fotobooth coming right up
Posted: May 11th, 2010 | Author: SommerI’ve got some great Festoon Fotobooth shots coming up soon. Do you think the backdrop might have been inspired by those flags we saw while visiting Tulum this year?
what we’ve been up to
Posted: April 20th, 2010 | Author: SommerWell let’s see… what have we been up to? Projects and more projects! I got to shoot some candids for Zen Genius at their latest Charles Penzone party. Amazing as usual. We tip our hat to the Zen Geniuses. You can see a couple of my favorite shots of the hair models getting ready below and more here.
I am also showing a shot that I took while working on a couple fliers for another Creative in our midst: Esther of Torn Angel. We just just finished up working on some promotions for her new Short North classes, she has some fun ones! You can see our final designs up on the Label Brand business site.
finally… it’s springtime!
Posted: March 21st, 2010 | Author: SommerDid everyone have a wonderful first day of Spring? I spent the afternoon playing putt-putt with some friends, then eating tacos in the sun, topped off by a few hours in the backyard cleaning up the last of Winter (I hope). I am so anxious to get the garden going again!!!
For those of you who don’t know, now you will: tomatoes are my very favorite. This weather makes me dream in tomato. Check out my tomato porn from 2009 below.
miss. josephine
Posted: March 20th, 2010 | Author: SommerYou may remember my good friend and shooting partner Josephine from other posts? Well she and her husband left on a huge adventure last week. They intend to spend a lot of this year exploring, photographing and volunteering. If we’re lucky Josephine will share some of her shots as she tours the world. And if I am lucky they’ll come back instead of falling in love with some exotic destination. Bon Voyage you guys! As you can tell from our little AFTERHOURS event, I Miss. Josephine already….

holidaze at festoon
Posted: January 25th, 2010 | Author: SommerCocktail Christmas was the kind of party where a friends could chase away the Winter blues. Some guests heated things up on the dance floor, while others got toasted, (like chestnuts) on a couple signature drinks: the Yule Mule and the White Christmas.
See the festive looking spread? See those yummy legs?
wedding santa cruz, part 3 or fotobooth
Posted: January 19th, 2010 | Author: SommerHere are a few key shots from the Fotobooth we set up at the Clayton wedding. The backdrop was created with vintage wallpaper we picked up, a perfect shade of the wedding blue, and a graphic plaque of their wedding symbol (that was on the invites and stamps. See more at Afterhours), a couple wrought iron stools and some fun props. Voila!
Flickr has a couple extra funny ones from this set as well.
oh yeah, the invitation
Posted: January 13th, 2010 | Author: SommerOh yeah, and the invitation, it was designed at Afterhours. You can see the rest of that set at this link.
wedding, santa cruz, part 2
Posted: January 12th, 2010 | Author: SommerI’ve finally brought myself to show The End of the sweet Santa Cruz wedding. Notice how I tossed that other post in there? Speaking of tossing, I was lucky enough to catch the Beautiful Bride’s garter belt myself! (On my camera, of course)!
It was, in fact, my pleasure to photograph this wedding. It was magical. Truly. See for yourself.
