Here’s a logo I did recently for a church in Murfreesboro.

They wanted something a little more fresh and updated as they are going through a period of transition. The church’s tagline, ‘God’s Work, Our Hands,’ gave me many ideas to start out with. I did many options with hands, hearts, the world, etc… but in the end the client ended up liking the simplicity of this logo. I like that the cross is actually incorporated into the text of the logo, not just tagged on as an icon.

This is a suite I designed for a client last year that I am totally in love with! She ended up deciding to go in a different direction for her wedding but I still really loved this design. If you are working with a sunny yellow color scheme this would work perfectly.

Often times when creating suites for clients, I end up coming up with extra ideas that don’t get used. This is one of those ideas that I fell in love with, but ultimately the client decided to go with something else. The stripes, the text, the decorative border. Love


All of my designs are fully customizable to your color palette. I plan to open my Etsy shop soon selling templates that I will customize with your text and colors so all you have to do is print! Very cost effective for all you budget savvy brides out there.
Is that something any of you might be interested in?

Here’s a baby announcement I did for an Evin Photography client. So sweet!

I am obsessed with Adios Script Pro right now. It’s incredibly beautiful.

I can’t believe I didn’t post this sooner- I am so flippin’ excited to share this news- however small- but my design company, JessLehry Designs and this little blog BSB were mentioned on the uber fab and famous wedding blog Style Me Pretty!
JLD is credited with designing the programs for the fab wedding of Tosha and Will, which I’m hoping to feature here as a BS-WOW sometime very soon.
Check it out: the mention:

The programs weren’t pictured, but here’s a pic I snapped before I delivered them to the lovely bride:

It’s the little things that make my day.
Too cool!

As dorky as it sounds I was super excited to design our Christmas Cards this year for our first year as husband and wife. Here’s what I came up with! I am ordering them through White House Custom Colour and they are printed on a pearlized paper. Holy Moly they are gorgeous! I’m so excited about them!!

the way the photo is blurred on the front almost makes it look like a hologram on the sparkly paper. LOVE

can you see that sparkly sheen? *swoon*

I’ve been doing alot of save-the-dates lately for Evin Photography! It’s so much fun to incorporate a couple’s engagement photo into their Save-the-date… it makes them so fun and personal! It always helps to get inspired by beautiful photos like Evin’s! I actually assisted her on this couple’s engagement shoot so I got a good feel of their personalities before I even started on their save-the-dates.


Will and Jenn are getting married next July at the Loveless Barn in Nashville! I wanted to incorporate a little of that southern, rustic feel into the save-the-date so I used a distressed stamped typeface, but I kept it chic in black and white which made their photo against the red barn really pop! This was designed as a postcard so half of the back side is empty for filling in the address… but I can also do flat cards with envelopes!
I definitely think Save-the-dates are essential when planning your wedding to let your guests know ahead of time about your wedding plans. Everyone likes to have a heads up so they can make their plans accordingly!
And doing a postcard like these is a cute AND affordable way to share the news with your guests! Not only do you save on printing, but you save on stamps!

I’ve been BUSY BUSY working on Christmas card designs just in time for the holiday season! Check out some of these lovely designs I created for Evin Photography.

These cards were printed on pearlized paper from White House Custom Colour and include envelopes! So shiny and pretty.

I’ve also been cranking out some wedding album designs lately. We just ordered 3 coffee table books from WHCC. Their quality is top-notch. I love the custom photo-wrap covers.
