I still don’t claim to be an expert on apple products or software. In fact, I believe I have only been a convert for 42 days. After I purchased my iMac I knew I wanted to continue with the ease that a laptop brings. I didn’t want to be too chained to my desk, and love to answer email and work on small projects from a comfortable place (i.e. bedside and near the air conditioner!). With that said, I only wanted ONE computer....

A little under a month ago I decided to eat crow on a mantra that I proclaimed long ago and do something slightly drastic (and expensive): I ditched my PC and got a mac. See, I’ve had a PC since I was 15, so I was a tried and true user for roughly 15 years.

But I decided that in 2010 I was going to stop being jealous. I was going to...

photography by carla ten eyck ; collaboration between Jubilee Events, Just For You and White Dress by the Shore. The old, old adage that it takes a village applies to many things in life—including events. Aside from the fact that it physically takes a lot of people to make a client’s day come together, it also creatively takes a lot of people to make a client’s vision come to life. As a creative person I accept that not every idea I...

Their incredible pictures are equally matched with an ingenious business sense, and this workshop series they are running will mix the two mediums together. The second scheduled workshop is taking place in New...
