It also looks like 3 more logos will be included in Logo Lounge 6 as well!!
We have been SO busy and let me just say how THANKFUL we are all for that … and for all of you! Although our web site isn’t finished quite yet, we have decided to start releasing some of our new products early. Because we have had so many requests for the things we have sneak peeked we just can’t hold back anymore. To get any of the goodies that you see below all you have to do is send payment via paypal to payments@luxecetera.com. You will then receive your templates within 24 hours.

Meet Heather and Patrick. Heather is one of my oldest friends. I’ve known her since we were 12 years old. I not even gonna do the math on that one!
This is a very interesting session for me. This was my first session that included a pet squirrel. Meet Basil.
This is the reaction I got when Basil decided to climb to the top of my head while I was shooting.
So… it seems I am involved in all that I love with this wedding. Photography AND Design. Check out a few pieces from their wedding stationery system and custom logo.
Congrats to Shannon Choe at Premier Baby Concierge who was featured on Philadelphia NBC 10 yesterday. Too exciting not to share with you all!
Looks like another one of my logos is being published! It will be included in a new LogoLounge Master Series Initials and Crests. I’m told the book will debut in a year.
Congrats to my client Sarah Bussey!
We have been getting quite a few inquiries about our rates, time frame and process so we wanted to go ahead and give a status update on Luxecetera. The web site has officially been designed and is being sent to the programmers as we speak. Our incorporation papers have been approved and we should have the official papers any day now. (So excited!!) Rates have been established and so has our time frame for projects. We are currently adding clients to our waiting list. We will begin work for those on our list beginning April 1st. If you are interested please email for more information. Click here for our rates.
A few people have also inquired as to how the whole communication process will work. Will it still be a personal experience? YES IT WILL!!! NO WORRIES! The reason we joined our businesses in the first place was so we could pool our resources but still retain the personal level of professionalism we have always been so proud to offer our clients. We are going to be just as personal and connected as ever, we promise.
Lisa and I will be co-directors of the brand development division. When you hire Luxc to develop your brand you will work directly with one person (Lisa or I) the whole way through. But the BEST part is that we will all work together to fully develop the best brand possible for YOU and YOUR business.
Eva will be directing the Fine Stationery and Templates for Photographers divisions. Eva will also be helping with brand development, heading up the Album Design division and whatever else comes up. Oh … and Lisa and I will also be helping with these things as well!
Stay tuned because we still have a lot more to share of what’s to come at Luxc.
This is another new template collection that is in the works. We are affectionately calling it Itty Bitty right now. Another 5×7 folded birth announcement template set that will include original illustrations and patterns. Stay tuned for more!

Andria Fontenot came to me by way of twitter and Mark Eric a couple of months ago. She was all too familiar with good design as her sister was a talented graphic designer. Needless to say I had some big shoes to fill. Her photography focuses on Senior Portraiture. We ultimately decided that an owl was the perfect icon for Andria. The owl represents wisdom, the arts, literacy, the love of learning, reading, facilitating knowledge, educational goals and achievements, such as graduation. The owl is also a sort of family mascot and so it has a tender spot her heart. Perfectly fitting! Hoot! Hoot!
I thought it would be nice to show you the original sketch as well so you could see a little of our process.
Just another sneak peek of what’s in the works at LUXC … We will also be offering custom album design. We are working on the pricing and options as we speak so there will be more information to follow soon. Stay tuned … more to come!
I’m sorry to say that I cannot take on new clients at this time… I am nearly to the point of being overwhelmed. I am still just one person at this point and find that I can’t do it all. I am looking forward to being three people very soon! HaHa!
We (Lisa, Eva and I) are trying to tie up all of our current clients and projects so we can start fresh with our new brand. We will be publishing new rates and packages soon and are scheduled to have our new site up in a month or so. Be on the lookout! We will be starting a waiting list for Luxecetera in the coming weeks.
