Over the weekend we had our family photos taken by Cristina Robeck — and I have to share with you, it was amazing how comfortable we felt working with her. We met inside Union Station (downtown Los Angeles), it was so much fun! Cristina encouraged us to just do our thing; she wouldn’t be posing us too much. I loved that about her! She’s shown us a few sneak peeks and they have me smiling so big. Once we have the full collection back we’ll be ordering Christmas cards to mail out, and I’m dork — I’m really excited to do that :)
We’ve sent out photo cards before, I love the story they tell. Plus, I like to set one aside for myself to hold onto, like a small keepsake. Pear Tree Greetings has so many gorgeous designs. Here are some of my favorites from the Pear Tree shop: one, two, three.
Earlier this summer, Pear Tree Greetings’ Modern Cheer Christmas Card was the winner of the LOUIE Award in Announcements & Photo Card category! The LOUIE Awards – considered the ‘Oscars’ of the stationery world – recognizes the accomplishments of designers who create announcements, invitations and greeting cards.
