The Website

http://www.auntspray.com/ We are artists! And what better way to communicate about the fabulous world of design and photography today than a blog? We will attempt to keep a casual dialogue about our current design/photography projects and anything we come across that is new, shiny and just plain awesome. Our company name is taken from the book La Cart: The Secret Lives of Grocery Shoppers (by Hillary Carlip, Barbara Green), where it is mentioned that a person actually wrote and misspelled this on their grocery list. Anyone stumbling in via RSS feeds etc...Welcome!

Aunt Spray Design; A New Look, A New Year

The design portion of the auntspray website has undergone a re-working. Very long overdue, our new layout is sleeker, simpler and pared down to the core basics of our design services. Our new logo will eventually be worked into the rest of the website and all other places we have a presence.

Aunt Spray Design recently completed several projects, both relating to the environmental/geologic sciences. We are proud to be involved in these ventures that aim to make a difference to the health and safety of us inhabitants of the Earth and our progeny. Environmental/geologic systems can be a very complex thing to describe to those outside of the science community. Our illustration services can provide a simple, easy to follow diagram of any such system that still maintains a high level of technical preciseness and aesthetic appeal.

Please feel free to contact us or refer to friend/collegue if you have a need for this or any other design based work, technical or just graphics.

Lily Bee

So Lily Bee is another one of my faithful customers.  She started modeling for me in the womb and is now 6 months old.  So, you guessed it, this is her third session. She's pretty much a professional now, as you can see by her stunning images.

What can I say?  She's beautiful, well behaved, and is up for the "Most Stunning Blue Eyes Ever" award.  Ok, I made that up, but if there was such an award, she would totally win.

Thanks for being so awesome today, Lily. I hope you like your sneak peek.  More to come soon!!

If you are looking at these gorgeous vintage flower headbands and thinking, "Wow, these are really great.  I wonder where I could get some."  I have the answer!!  My wonderfully talented friend Kim at www.bowsnbands.etsy.com made them.  She got the handmade flowers from www.dorkdesign.etsy.com.  Check out their stores and order a bunch!!  A perfect accessory for that great dress you bought your babe for Christmas :) :)

Emily Is Here!!!

Back in April, I photographed a six-month-old name Lizzie and her family.  Today, I was back in their home to document the early days of their newest addition, Emily. I was super excited to see that Lizzie held on to her killer blue eyes and that she has adjusted to big sisterhood.  Additionally, Lizzie just celebrated her first birthday!!!

I hope you all enjoy your sneak peek.  There will be many more images coming your way in the next week or so.  Thank you so much for having me back.  Congratulations!!  Enjoy these little girls.  The time is going to fly.

Beautiful family:



There's no place like mommy's shoulder:


It doesn't get much sweeter than a daddy/newborn daughter shot:


I just had to throw this one in...she's so happy behind those birthday balloons!
