Custom Wedding Invitations with Basic Invite!

Hey-o Friend-o! Long time no see! SO much has happened in the past month! I turned 30, shot lots of film, Austin saw one of the biggest snow/ice storms in it’s history, made some sourdough… you know… the USUAL.

Just kidding… but IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW— Am I right??

In the face of it ALL— I still have some lovely, beautiful, wonderful clients trying to plan out their big days for later this year. Struggling to keep their gatherings small enough to be COVID safe, find flowers, and send out INVITATIONS! But I’ve found a new product that I LOVE and wanted to share with you, just in case you’re in that same boat and need a little help. And I don’t boost products I don’t actually love to use. Those of you who know me well, know that I love paper products. I work as a printing technician (on the side of my photo biz) and I know quality paper products when I see them. I was helping a client of mine find some easy-to-design, beautifully crafted wedding invitations and Basic Invite is the TICKET.

Basic Invite is a custom wedding invite (and other paper products as well!) company located in Utah. They are one of the few wedding invitation websites I’ve visited that you can actually order full sized samples before placing a large order with them so you can make * absolutely sure * that you are receiving a product that you love. While browsing their site and selecting samples for my clients, I was blown away at #1: how EASY the templates are to customize and #2: at just how many color, paper, texture YOU NAME IT options they had. It is an absolute treat to be able to browse through the color combinations. And if you’re more design savvy than I am, you can also upload your own designs on the site and customize which papers and textures you want!

(my favorite are the clear invitations, they’re just so delicate and beautiful!)

Honestly though, www.basicinvite.com can provide you with everything you need to make sure that sending out your invitations is quick, easy, and stress free.

(** psssst** AND their customer service people are TOP NOTCH in case you do happen to have any questions about the process… but it is very very easy to navigate, I promise)

Be sure to check them out for your wedding (or any other!!!) invitation needs!

I solemnly swear to post more blogs in the coming days!

Until next time, friends.

Stay safe,

Austin Brand Photographer--Lauren's new dance fitness business!

Lauren and I walked around South Congress to grab some photos for her new dance fitness adventure. The light was perfect and the temperature was the stuff of dreams. Fall in Texas is amazing, no??

Austin Portrait Photographer--The TX Studio

I’ve known Rachel since my Freshman year of High School. She’s bubbly and smart as heck and is always and forever my fashion icon. She also officially graduated from her Master’s program this past December and her 30th birthday is right around the corner! WHAT BETTER REASON to take some updated portraits??

After hemming and hawing for a few weeks, we finally settled on The TX Studio for our location. They are friendly, hold weekend hours and are the right price! Plus, their studio space is TO DIE FOR. Those big, frosted picture windows are the stuff of my dreams.

If you’re looking for a studio in the Dallas area or are from Austin and need a beautiful studio space that won’t break the bank— Check out The TX Studio!

We had a blast. Danced to Ariana Grande and made some beautiful art.

Austin Commercial Photographer: BFree Yoga

I have had the pleasure of being the in-house photographer for BFree for a while now. This studio has my heart through and through. From the moment I walked through the door 5 (?!?!?!) years ago, I felt welcome. I felt at home.
