always looking is a series of photography picture books meant to inspire young eyes to see everyday things in a new way.
this book is designed for the young ones who are looking with or without you, as well as the older ones who are learning about art, design, photography and composition.
in short: it’s a not-so-precious first photography book, in long: always looking will engage and inspire your awareness of the present moment - and foster that in your young one (and remind us of it).
always looking to see - what things are and what they can be
believing that some of the most powerful stories are the open ended ones - the ones you create as you go. finding the beauty in the simple and really seeing in the present moment. we hope to inspire this from an early age in our young ones
in short : a not-so-precious first photography book
in long : always looking will engage and inspire your awareness of the present moment

sending a custom gift box of letterpressed stationery is one of my ultimate favorite gifts to give almost anyone. blank notecards can be used for any occasion and always come in handy.
what a better idea than to give someone the opportunity to connect with a friend or say thank you for something that meant something to them?
for this gift box, you can choose any one letter selected from the three different fonts and customize it to be on your favorite of our paper stocks in either black or blind letterpress. the letter will be printed in the lower right hand corner of the paper and gift box comes with 30 cards + matching envelopes. **please note the birch plywood boxes are unavailable at this time
please specify in the notes which letter, uppercase or lowercase and black or blind letterpress.
if you would like for me to ship this directly to the gift recipient, please mention so in the notes and I will be in touch to arrange! we can handwrite a note from you to place in the box and will leave out any receipts.
I am so, so grateful for all of your continued support and have some other exciting things in the near future to share with you. …so until then
two reminders : if you haven’t already added in your address to get a free notecard, do so here! and if you place an order and want to me to handwrite a note for you, do so here!
AND if you have an idea that you and I can collaborate, please let me know!
community is more important than ever right now.
as always,
megan
