Let’s work together!
When you work with me to create a custom prop, we can make come up with something even cooler than you imagined! Teamwork makes the dream work!
Many of my favorite projects are fully custom orders — here are some ideas to spark you on your OWN custom prop!
Create your own wedding newspaper
What started as a welcome note in a gift bag for my traveling wedding guests, turned into a 4 page newspaper spread that my family is still talking about two years later!
And I’m finally talking about how I created it! Download my Newspaper Template to create your own.
A cutesy, pink party for my daughter’s first birthday
This party was a little different for me because it was the first time I booked a venue and hosted a party outside of a family members house! Hosting at a venue meant I needed to adjust my budget for decor and activities, and I had to be very intentional about how I used my dollars.
Pirate Pool Party
I made my son’s pirate dreams come true with this party! Check it out to see how I transformed this space into a pirate’s paradise and view my Plan Your Own Pirate Party Guide to dive even deeper!
That’s a Wrap on Season 15!
This past season was a wild ride, to say the least. I stepped out of my comfort zone and gained a lot of prop experience this year, all while pregnant with my second baby!
It’s corn! But this one is candy
This project required lots of patience and some trial and error. Keep reading to see how I created this giant ear of corn with candy corn pieces!
From pool noodle to disco cactus
I completely transformed a foam noodle and some wire into a sparkling, 2 foot, disco cactus!
It took over 1,000 gummy bears to cover this lampshade
I still get compliments on this lamp in my home!
Adding special touches to a “store-bought” Spiderman birthday party
I wanted to keep this party low-key and planned on purchasing most of the decorations instead of making them myself. You don’t have to go “all-out” and spend thousands of dollars to plan an awesome party for your kids. Even the simplest touches can be magic in your kids eyes!
Everything I made for my timeless, east coast wedding
Yeah, I was my own wedding planner. I probably wouldn’t advise that, but I knew my creative background and history working in production and photographing weddings would help me out (and it worked!) Keep reading if you’re interested in doing the same because I’m breaking down all the DIY elements from my wedding last April!

Saying goodbye to the place I got my start
I didn’t go to college, but I did spend six years at The Real, learning the ropes of production and the art department.
I Started My Dream Job (Just in time to get shut down again)
I got the call in April that I would be starting as a prop assistant to my good friend, Christine on the game show Let’s Make a Deal… and then I waited patiently all summer as the world was sick and the TV industry was shut down.
