Just a twigs & honey shop update...

I've currently sold out of all my shop pieces! I'm still taking custom orders so be sure to convo me in Etsy if you are interested in a piece!

I wanted to mention that I'll be posting a new shop piece tonight (maybe around 9-11pm Pacific time) in my Etsy shop. It was the one I created special for a wedding event (check out paulrichstudio.blogspot.com). I'm wearing it in the photo above.

I am going to try to create more pieces/inventory sometime toward the end of the week or the weekend. Check back!! If you can't wait, convo me and we can come up with a custom piece!

Thank you!

twigs & honey :: by myra :: Brand New Blog!

So here it is! My first blog entry. I'll be posting in my blog, any updates such as shop updates, press updates, and general thoughts and maybe fashion ideas. I suppose the sky is the limit! I'm very excited to have started this blog in conjunction with my twigs & honey line. With my husband's loving support, the support of others in the industry, and family, I've been so lucky to have begun creating twigs & honey pieces for brides, bridesmaids, and other fashion forward or adventurous types. I hope to launch my new website soon! If you are interested in any pieces or a custom order, convo me through my Etsy shop. Photo credit: Paul Rich Studio.

Trish and the Family Fly South

It's true, I left Mariah for the warm breezes, sandy beaches and soft ice cream! My mom lives in Venice Florida during the winter months and we are lucky enough to be able to enjoy time there.

We went for ten days this year and were lucky to have great weather the entire time. Which was a nice change of pace for us. Last year it rained the entire time, we made three trips to the emergency room and wound up driving home in a mini van because of double ear infections in our son. It was a bit rough.

Actually something has happened every time we have a vacation or time off together as a family. So we were glad to have a more normal vacation this year! Following are a few 'snaps' from our trip...

This is Isaac, one of the future heirs to the Snap! Photography business. He is "ready to roll" - to the pool.

We saw this 13 foot gator... from a boat. He/She was just out in nature relaxing, not in a zoo!

This is my husband Jim looking for fossilized sharks teeth at Casperson Beach, it's addictive!

I think the 'Snapadamia' should be our new mascot! Although Mariah and I would eat them all!

Miami Shoot - Our Favorites

Well, Trish is flying somewhere over Florida right now... she's left me for a fun filled family vacation. I find this completley unfair. Melissa just finished retouching some of our very tropical

photos from the Miami shoot - and looking at them cheers me up on this really gloomy day. These are some of the shots that the hotel (Atlantic Stars) is going to use in their publication.

Cool!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here we are at Denise and Bob's wedding. (see the blog below)... We had an amazing year in 2007. So many great couples and fun times. We are so looking forward to the next season and more friends and photos! Thanks everyone for a snaptastic year!

Denise and Bob New Year's Eve 2007

Photographed by: Mariah and Trish

Denise and Bob's wedding had everything!.... A gorgeous bride, who magically turned into the cutest snow baby- when she put on her furry cape and her fuzzy hand warmer, a beautiful dramatic ceremony at the Cathedral in Providence, sparkly flowers by Semia, a nervous but adorable dog, kazoos and confetti... quite a recipie for a super fun evening and a great way to bring in the New Year!!! It was freezing, but that didn't stop anyone from having a good time and everybody was dancing and sweating like mad on the dance floor. It was hard to resist not busting out a few moves- especially during the fun 80's music. Trish and I are notorious 80's music afficionados ..... but we spared everyone that experience. Thanks to Denise and Bob for a great night and setting the tone for a great season in 2008!

Erin and Ian December 30, 2007

There were so many fabulous touches and cool moments at Erin and Ian's wedding. I met the girls at the Hotel Viking for some getting ready photos- and Trish went on the trolley with the boys to the Black Pearl (a favorite summertime hangout). Summer it wasn't, but the weather was cooperating and we managed to eek out some photos outside in the last of the evening light- which is very blue, love it! Erin wore a gorgeous silvery ribbon around her waist with a beautiful antique brooch that her mother found on ebay and turned into a little belt. All of the bridesmaids had antique brooches on their bouquets to match. Erin also carried a silver horseshoe for good luck- it seems to aleady be working. Stoneblossom did the flowers- and they were gorgeous, Erin was thrilled with them. At the ceremony, everyone was given a candle, and at the end they were lit- which made for amazing photos, very festive. I thought the monogramed doors at Belle Mer were a really nice touch. Thank you to Ian and Erin for enduring the cold to get that outside photo of the bridge at night. We told you it would be worth it! Everyone danced like maniacs and snacked on mini grilled cheese and french fries until midnight- what a party!
