Every person you meet leaves a little mark on your heart...

I had wanted to start writing a blog on this site for quite some time now, but was never sure what my first entry should be...  After all, there is a lot of pressure to make it either interesting, funny, informative or all of the above.  After another weekend of seeing excited brides, proud parents and new babies in the studio, I decided to write about what is close to my heart, friends and family. 

It has been said that every person you meet may change your life forever.  It has never rang truer than in my line of work.  When Evelyn and I started this company over 10 years ago, we met quite a few engaged couples.  At the time we helped them with engagement announcements and eventually wedding invitations.  Within a couple of years, we did moving announcements for the couples' first homes.  From there we moved on to baby announcements and first birthday invitations, moving announcements when a bigger home was necessary to accommodate a growing family and lots and lots of party invitations to commemorate important milestones in our couples' lives. 

I can speak for both myself and Evelyn when I say that we love what we do.  Our clients have become friends, and we enjoy and appreciate the moments they let us share by inviting us into their lives.  It warms my heart when I receive in the mail a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or birthday invitation from the clients who I am now proud to call 'friends'.  Over the years I've become a shoulder to cry on when all the planning gets to be too much, an ear to complain to when a mother in law gets out of hand (we'll leave that for another blog entry though), or just someone to share all the excitement of the upcoming event with. 

This is more than a business, as each one of my clients has left a mark on my heart.  I hope to be part of their lives for many more years, and one day to do the wedding invitations of the babies of my first engaged couple...
