I have had a lifelong and very passionate love affair with paper. When it came to time choose the paper for my own wedding, I had to resist the urge to lay down in the middle of the store and roll around amongst the linen paper. (Blissful people do strange things, ok?)

I’ve been thinking about my business cards for longer than I care to admit. In my head the perfect business card was letterpress. And just a teensy bit quirky but still simple and clean. In short, it needed to epitomize who I am and the brand of pictures I take. Not exactly a easy task.

Enter Jenni at Lunalux. I had a dream and she was all about making that a reality. Jenni was wonderful from start to end; and even when I did a complete 180 in the look I was going for, she was right there by my side making that happen.

In the end? I have business cards that scream my name (in a very classy, letterpress way – of course) and that I LOVE. In all capitals.

I must also say a huge thank you to my friend Sarah at Jeune Marie who pulled together the personality of the card and essentially handed it to me on a silver platter. She is a creative genius, no lie.


If you are in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area – go visit the Lunalux shop. In addition to doing custom work, they also have an amazing collection of hilarious (and sweet) greeting cards. You will be a punch card carrying member in no time!
