Anastasia Marie – Inspirational

posted in Personal | 9 Comments »

Anastasia Marie is a really good friend of mine. I discovered her “Handcrafted Cards and Stationery” a couple years ago, and was so impressed by her work. She makes some of the most interesting and beautiful wedding invitations, stationery, and cards for all occasions. There are very few people that I respect as much as her. Her taste is amazing, her work is just incredible, and she is such a hard worker! I gain nothing by promoting her; in fact, I put my reputation on the line, but I just really really love her as an artist & friend, and I hope my followers also follow her because she deserves it.

This photo shoot was an inspirational shoot for her new site and blog that she just launched (site – http://anastasiamariecards.com/ and blog - http://anastasiamariecards.com/blog/). With the help of amazing models and stylists (listed below) we did 4 major photo shoots in two days, making this one of the most intense photo experiences I’ve ever had. Getting up at 4am is not something I’m used to. Each of the shoots had a specific theme; for detailed descriptions of each photo shoot, please see Anastasia’s posts on her blog here: http://anastasiamariecards.com/blog/.
