Perinatal Depression & Anxiety Brochure

Above is a brochure recently completed with the lovely team at GP Connections.

We wanted to give the brochure a scrapbooking/photo album kind of feel to express that even though this time may be difficult, its by no means any less real or part of your family's history than the good times are.

Perinatal Despression & Anxiety (PDA) refers to either the mum or dad, having difficulty coping, during the pregnancy or up to one year after the birth of their child. Like depression and anxiety at any other time, depression and anxiety surrounding childbirth can result from a combination of factors.
Depression often disrupts parents at a crucial time and can have an effect on the baby, older children and a couple’s relationship. It is important for mums and dads to get help.
If you think you or your partner may be at risk of PDA please see your Doctor, Midwife or Obstetrician as FREE help is available to visit a Perinatal Practitioner.

K&C Wedding Invitations

I had a lovely time working with the very calm bride-to-be Kristy to create her elegant wedding invitations. I'd sourced a collection of sophisticated black & white papers with a subtle shimmer. The purple ribbon was chosen to match the bridesmaids dresses and the diamante buckles were added for a little bit of bling. Good luck on the big day Kristy and Cody!

Happy 2012!!
