HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My husband turned the big 3-0 last weekend and for years I have been yearning at my chance of getting him with a SURPRISE PARTY! I have never surprised anyone before and let me tell you: the anxiety was at an all-time high. Here are some of the “day-of” projects I contributed to the event. The lighting in the venue was terrible so I turned all of the photos to black and white for your viewing pleasure.

Shout out to my sister for snapping these for me!

SURPRISE! I will never forget his face.

Brent: the last 30 years.

Custom "Dirty Thirty" Banner

The photo frame prop I made for snapping photos of guests at the party.

Custom Koozies

I learned a new trick in photoshop: How to turn a raster image of someone’s face into a vector image. I used this photo of Brent on the invitations, the banner, and the koozies.

Photo Display

I scoured pinterest for days of photo display ideas, but couldn’t find anything that acted as an age progression display of Brent’s face. So I came up with this board idea.

In honor of their first wedding anniversary, here are some photos of Jen and Andy's beautiful wedding at the Marriott at the Capitol District in downtown Omaha, which happened to be the very first wedding at this newly opened venue. Every detail was stunning and I was so happy to work with such a stylish bride and her family, who have impeccable taste.

For the past three years, I have been working a full time job as a marketing professional for a regional kitchen and bath company based out of Omaha. I would work 40+ hours a week there,  and then would work on my Miranda Writes projects at night and on weekends. It was physically and mentally draining to be consumed with work.

Today, I walked away from that day job to pursue Miranda Writes full time. The weirdest part about making that decision was that I LOVED my marketing job and the special people that came with it. But when I look back on my life and tell my story, I knew that the job that sets my soul on fire is the one I should be invested in full time. 

I want to say thank you to all of my sweet past clients that had to deal with void in email communication, odd hour phone calls, or pushed back deadlines because there was simply not enough time.

And to my future clients and brides, I am ecstatic to be making pretty things for you. 

All My Best, 

Miranda
