As you may have seen in our latest newsletter (link in bio), we recently designed elegant business cards with a raised spot gloss for our D.C. hospitality client, Home Sweet City. 🌸 As the District’s premier short-term rental management service, they needed cards that made an instant, and luxurious, impression. The gloss element, printed over their primary brand color, adds a tactile dimension and subtle tone-on-tone effect. It’s the kind of card customers want to hold onto! 😍

This is the just newest piece in a branding system we’ve created for Home Sweet City over the past couple of years. We started with a new logo inspired by the city’s unique street grid and symbols, then incorporated a color palette and typographic styles. The brand elements were then applied to in-room signage and stationery, a redesigned website, an animated presentation for sales prospects, and much more! (You can learn more about this branding project on our blog.)

We’re so happy to support Innisfree Village’s online silent auction, going on right now until 4:30 pm. There are so many fantastic experiences, works of art, and local goods to bid on, so we hope you’ll check it out! Keep your eyes peeled for our 16’’x24’’ print on metal of the aurora borealis over Shenandoah National Park, shot at Big Meadows one beautiful autumn night. 🌠

To celebrate the first day of autumn, we’re passing on the pumpkin. 🎃 Instead, we’re sharing portraits we took of Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary’s one and only Autumn the corn snake! When we met this gorgeous education ambassador she was preparing the shed her skin, so she had a blue cast on her eyes that you can see in the final photo. Happy fall, y’all! 🐍🍁

Early last month, we took a rare break from our work and went on a week-long trip to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada. These photos were shot on film during an especially foggy whale-watching tour. Surrounded in 360 degrees of dense fog for most of the outing, it finally lifted enough for us to see a very curious minke whale who was spyhopping and peeking at us. 🐳

Shooting film has encouraged us to slow down and experience a sense of anticipation that isn’t present with digital. Developed and scanned by procamera Pro Camera Film Lab and shot on Portra 400. 📸
