{print} Brennan C Phillips Photography Business Cards
I have had the pleasure of working on some custom business cards for an old friend, Brennan Phillips. Brennan is a photographer who specializes in weddings/events, portraits, prints and retouching. She leans towards more non-traditional styles and is currently the Lowcountry Highrollers Team Photographer in Charleston, South Carolina. She wanted her cards to be colorful; bright and colorful with lots of swirls and curves. We went with a brown background color on the front to relate to the warm color palette of the photo on the back of the card.
For the back of the card she wanted to use a self-portrait photo that said HELLO. How cute is that? This photo adds such a personal touch and introduction.
These are 4-color offset printed on smooth matte card stock. Do you need custom calling cards or business cards? Let me help you!
Low Country Boil: The Mill Lounge
The Mill Lounge : A short distance from the MeadWestvaco Paper Mill
My friends Christina & Paul invited me to have some Low Country Boil at a local bar called The Mill Lounge. It is a traditional southern recipe that is often served to large groups. Everything is cooked (boiled) in a large pot with seasonings & butter, drained of the water and then poured onto a large table ready for everyone to help themselves. Yummy!
It was by far one of the most interesting things I have done in a very long time! Let me paint the picture for you. So, there is a deck in the back of the bar that was set up with a table and all the condiments you would need (lemons & cocktail sauce). The Low Country Boil consists of sausage, corn on the cob, shrimp, potatoes and this one actually had some crab! I will spare the details but, I will say the crab was not that good! But thanks for getting it for me Paul!

Mediterranean Food : Daniel Island, South Carolina
So my mom works on Daniel Island, in South Carolina. I have actually never been there so she took me on a little tour. It was like a gorgeous secluded movie set! The homes were doll-like and the area was so. . . pleasant. I couldn’t believe this is where she goes everyday at lunch take a walk, whether to grab a bite or stroll to a lake sit on a swing and make a lunch call-to me! This is where she has been making calls to me and I had no idea how beautiful and quaint it was!
Daniel Island, South Carolina
There are adorable little shops all around {boutiques} and overall just has a very valley feel to it {for all those native to California!}. We ate at a Mediterranean Cafe called Ali Baba. Just delicious! I had beef tenderloin kabobs, with couscous and mozzarella with tomatoes. My mom had some delicious lamb kabobs with Tabouli and hummus. Ah, I love that we could get away to a cozy Mysteria Lane environment and STILL have some delicious Mediterranean food! THAT was a treat.
So, the decor in this cafe was amazing! Just a little cafe on a little island, and attention to detail did not fail. Here is what I am talking about. They had these gorgeous arches and chandeliers to die for!

Mmmmm. . . I wish I had some left over hummus & pita right about now.
The Pour House: James Island {Charleston, South Carolina}
The Pour House
On Tuesday night in lovely Charleston, I was gonna meet up with some friends at a bar called The Pour House. It was pretty cool because there was gonna be a band playing. It ended up being Against Me! which is one of Jason’s favorite bands! It was pretty awesome. I of course loved the logo the place has, very whimsical. Here is also a great YouTube clip of the place to get an idea of how big the venue was. I love that about Charleston, or South Carolina really. I was always able to see really cool bands in a more intimate environment for dirt cheap! This show was only $10. Don’t get me started on how cheap drinks were! But, best by far was seeing some old friends. Good times.
Against Me!
