Earlier this month — on Mother’s Day, actually — we had the pleasure of having the lovely, uber-talented photographer Tea Ho of Dreambox Photography over for a newborn photo session for Mio. I absolutely love how the photographs turned out, and am so grateful to Tea for capturing baby Mio and our first moments as a family so beautifully.

Here are some of my personal favorites!

 

With Tea’s gorgeous photographs, I was able to design Mio’s birth announcement. I used my favorite blush tones and layered floral elements on top of a textured background to complement the photographs. I’m pretty happy with how they turned out! 🙂

We got them printed on pearlescent paper for a subtle shimmer that turned out to be a lovely touch. (My only gripe was that white text ended up disappearing a little against the background….)

We also got some Moo Cards printed to go with the announcements. The great thing about Moo Cards is that you can have a variety of photos/images printed on one side! We had four variations for the front…

…and the back sides all had a little plug for our blog here. 🙂

 

Thank you to everyone who let us know they received the birth announcements in the mail, as well as those who told us how much they liked them! I had a lot of fun creating these birth announcements, especially because I had such lovely photos to work with. A huge thanks to Tea for her amazing photographs! We will treasure them in our family for years to come.
