Maria Pastore Design

I’ve been in love with Maria Pastrore Design since I shot Heidi’s wedding where she designed all of the stationery items.  They were GORGEOUS.  I loved all of the details, especially the pearls.  The items all SCREAMED Heidi.  I contacted Maria not long after in hopes of working with her for some ideas I had flowing but she was too busy with her day job and needed to focus on that.  I was disappointed but understood – but I never forgot her beautiful work.

A couple years later and Maria is finally breaking out on her own and running her own business!  I was so excited when I found out and even more so after I saw all of the beautiful work she was doing for Heidi.  Her new logo is beyond amazing, her business cards are unique and wonderful… I could go on but really just go to her site and let your eyes feast on the beauty there!  Beware for the graphic lovers out there, it’s awesome overload.

So it is no surprise that I hired Maria to help me with some projects including a new Twitter background.  The big project (for the moment… more to come!) was getting me a new business card.  I have to say, I LOVE my cards.  Everyone else does too.  They are perfect for me and I adore the embossed dots.  It’s almost like a stress relief thing, I find myself rubbing the dotted line every time I pick one up!

There’ll be more Maria goodies coming down the line but for now I had to show off my new cards… and Heidi’s.

P.S.:  Maria was also a beautimous bride that got married last year and had her pics taken by the uber talented Rad Photography.  Go see their pics here!

Aren’t these just simply awesome?  The logo, the design… the reason I had to have some too!

Here’s mine!  They were printed locally as well.  I am a huge supporter of local businesses!

Mmmm yummy printed goodness!
