Since the launch of the new Gerald & Joan website, I've wanted to rework our portfolio. As usual, I put it on the back burner again and again. I'm a true professional when it comes to procrastination, but I finally made it happen. Click here to see it.

Now that I have the layout sorted out, I hope to add some new designs and projects very soon! 

Please take a look and let me know what you think. I always appreciate feedback!

1958 beauty pageant photos

These 1958 beauty pageant photographs of Jonathan's Aunt Linda were too fun not to share. Apparently she was Jumpertown High School's Most Beautiful in 1958. Beauty pageants have never been my thing, but in these photographs, they seem pretty charming.

Isn't she pretty?

The colors are so bright and cheerful, making them the perfect showcase for our adorable niece. These cards are completely customizable, but this combination of colors, photos and text is pretty hard to beat!

School Days...

I'm in the middle of a photo book for Sadie's sister Linda, so I've been scanning and editing all sorts of fun photographs. Linda is the youngest of the Yates' sisters, and she graduated from Jumpertown High School in Jumpertown, Mississippi in 1961. Jumpertown is a small rural community located just outside of Booneville in Prentiss County. 

Aren't they cute? Linda is the third from the left on the bottom row.

I love this yearbook photograph all of the girls in front of Jumpertown School. (The back of the photo actually has the job, page and position number on it.)
