I had a awesome time working on this project and it is great to see the finished product.

decor8 Kitty’s 8th Birthday

View Photographer Profile

So excited to share with you pictures form my Daughter Kitty’s 8th Birthday published today on decor8!

The party was designed by my Amazing Wife, she sewed all the decorations by hand and made all the caked and sweets from scratch. Needless to say the party was a huge success! Kitty loves puppies especially her own, “Lola”. So she was so excited to sew and play with all her friends and of course her puppy!

One of my favorite design blogs in the world, decor8 has featured this on Her amazing blog today.

“Founder & Editor Holly Becker, a freelance journalist and design consultant, launched decor8 in January 2006 long before design blogs became a trusted and popular source of information on the web. An established site known as a reliable design resource to over 35,000 readers daily, decor8 (a creative play on the word decorate) is dedicated to sharing honest opinions, fresh decorating ideas, beautiful interior spaces, independent art and design, products and services, and articles meant to inspire readers to live a more fulfilling, authentic and creative life.”

So excited to be on her blog! Thanks Holly!
