In our area we have many great school systems, we are also lucky enough to have a great group of home schoolers in the J.O.Y. Homeschool Co-Op!  In just a few short weeks these students will be taking to the stage for their production of Willy Wonka Jr.!  Having been a part of high school musicals, I know how much fun it is to see that final production on stage; the studying of lines, the set decorations, and dedication will all pay off for them on April 7 & 8!  Thank you for allowing me to play a small part in your production!  If you are in the area and looking for a some Friday or Saturday evening fun, check out Willy Wonka Jr.!

| DYS Leadership Retreat 2017 |

A couple weeks ago I was honored to be able to capture the DYS Leadership Retreat!  Each year the event features a guest speaker to help motivate and encourage the teens.  The Leadership program is committed to helping give all young T1D’s the tools needed to embrace their opportunities and differences, while working together towards better health, knowledge, friendships, and leadership!  This year’s guest speaker was the one and only Chris Ruden!  Chris is a powerlifter, entrepreneur, model, and motivational speaker — and a T1D!  It was absolutely amazing to meet this young man and watch him engage, capture, and work one on one with these teens.  Not only did he speak with them, he cooked with them!  If you ever get the opportunity to listen to Chris, do it, he will inspire you with his honesty, kindness, inspirational words, and overall genuine compassion for helping others!  Thank you Chris for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with DYS!

This year the Diabetes Youth Services Leadership Retreat kicked off their camp season like true super heroes!  The DYS Leadership Program is firmly committed to helping give all young T1D’s the tools needed to embrace their opportunities and differences, while working together towards better health, knowledge, friendships, and leadership!  Leadership Retreat is for their upcoming camp counselors to get excited, learn to work together, and prepare for the upcoming year’s three camps, Big, Middle, & Little Shots!  For the theme this year, the teens have chosen super heroes and were excited to create a design that could encompass what T1D camp counselors do for their campers!  Deep purple hoodies with lime green and white ink made their design pop.  A special thanks goes out to this year’s sponsors, The Farmers & Merchants State Bank and Renegade Fitness for helping to put on an amazing retreat for some outstanding teens leaders

Getting to collaborate and work with other small businesses is a wonderful thing!  I enjoy being able to refer other great companies to my clients and Forever Held is one of my favorites!  Forever Held does a fabulous job with wedding planning, consulting, and Day-of Services.  I can speak from experience to the Day of Services, as Forever Held helped to take the burden off of my own wedding day, allowing us to enjoy our day, and made sure everyone and everything went smoothly!  For some upcoming bridal shows that Forever Held will be exhibiting at, we created some 8.25″x3.75″, two sided, glossy informational handouts to go along with business cards we had previously created.  If you are looking for a great wedding planning, consulting, and day-of business, check out Forever Held!

I enjoy working on all types of graphics projects, but the ones for family always seem a little sweeter.  These business cards were created for my sister!  The last couple years my family has been using Young Living Essential Oils and we have loved how they have benefited our lives!  They have been a great addition to our overall wellness.  Shonda was looking for a unique look to share her love of oils with others and after sitting down together, we came up with these!  Simple and clear yet with an artistic flare.  If anyone is interested in experiencing all the Young Living Essential Oils have to offer, please contact her or I and we would be happy to share our stories with you!

On April 1, 2017 Kyle & Taylor will be tying the knot, no fooling!!!  Getting to create wedding invitations is one of my favorite things to do, taking the brides vision of what she would like to share with her guests and bringing it to life!  Knowing that not only will the couple’s guests see them, but they will be saving one to remind them of their special day!  Kyle was looking for a simple and elegant design that captured their unique style.  With April just around the corner, it’s sure to be a beautiful spring wedding!  Congrats Kyle & Taylor!

This little beauty started off our year last year with her newborn session and she is kicking off 2017 with her one year session!  It’s amazing how much little ones change in just twelve months!  She has such a sweet personality, quite, and talkative all rolled into one.  She climbed right into a small crate we had sitting off to the side and we instantly new that was something she was ready to pose in!  The pearl necklaces have become a family tradition, using them with big sister Alexis’ newborn and one year sessions as well.  We had a great time with this cutie, love her smile and those gorgeous blue eyes!  Happy 1st Birthday Emma!

As 2017 is now well underway, there are still many new things coming for SSRM this year!  Next up is the brand new “Share the Love” referral program!  I have been lucky to work with so many amazing people the last several years that I wanted to be able to give back to them for continuing to allow me to capture their family, seniors, kids, & weddings!  Not only will they receive a great gift of a credit for their next session, but the family or friends they refer will also receive a discount on their session!  There is no limit to the number of referrals one can make or the number of credits you can earn towards a future session.  Let’s “Share the Love” and make 2017 another wonderful year!!!

This last November marked five years since I founded SSRM Designs & Photography!  I would like to take a moment to thank everyone that I have gotten the chance to work with, from photo sessions and weddings to invitations, graphics, and logo design, what a fun and wonderful journey it has been!  With this exciting milestone has also come a new logo!  After several months of brainstorming and designing in between client projects, I am proud to reveal the new look of SSRM!

While the above will be the main logo, you will also see the following throughout.  The first one you will notice as the new watermark logo, the second will appear more on graphic design projects along with the main logo, and the third on the web and in documents, such as the print & product guide and pricing guide.

This new year will also bring some fun new changes to SSRM!  Offering more with each new session, more fun print products to chose from, a themed mini session in the fall, and even more great promotional items and garments for you to chose from!

2017 Photo Session and Wedding Bookings are currently underway and graphics projects of all kinds are welcome any time!  Thank you all again for a wonderful five years, here’s to the next five!
