Comments (0) Happy Friday! To get you excited for the weekend, here’s a snippet of what’s to come on the Maihar Design blog next week – more behind the scenes at our Glitzy Girls photo shoot at the Landmark in New Braunfels with photographer extraordinaire, Matthew Niemann.
Our products are tiny. Petite pillows, pint-size flower petals and whimsical wands made for delicate items in a larger-than-life, modern backdrop at the Landmark.
Shooting our products requires extreme precision, and we are so fortunate to have the incredible Matthew Niemann of Aberdeen Studios. For nearly 9 years, I’ve been blessed to call Matt a dear friend and honorary brother – always amazed at his talent and kindness. Matthew has been our photographer since Maihar Design launched, and it’s his ability to capture the precise details of our products that makes our website so stunning.
Our photo shoot was only beginning with these shots. Soon, our models – adult and pintsize – were about to liven up the photo shoot, and bring much laughter to Maihar Design! Stay tuned for more from our recent photo shoot at the Landmark Lofts in New Braunfels, Texas.
This past Saturday was nothing short of awesome. Melanie and I headed up to New Braunfels to an INCREDIBLE location for our photo shoot of the new line. We could not have been more blessed by the incredible accommodations at the Landmark in New Braunfels. The lighting was superb, the staff was gracious in letting us take over the common area space and the building itself shocked every one of our team as they arrived.
Once operating as the Comal Power Plant, the Landmark has been converted into stunning lofts, offering residents a truly unique experience with remarkable history:
The historic Comal Power Plant building in New Braunfels, Texas, originated in 1925 as a hydroelectric power plant, supplying power not only to the New Braunfels and San Antonio area, but to every power grid east of the Rocky Mountains. In 1927, it was the largest power plant in the world burning pulverized lignite coals as fuel, and switched to natural gas in 1928.
Needless to say, this proved the perfect location for shooting our forthcoming line, the Glitzy Girls.
Stay tuned for more posts about our experience, and a look behind the scenes at the new line – launching early August!
It’s no secret my sister Melanie is the crafty one of the team. Give me business plans, marketing, web design or anything public relations related and I am on the ball. Give me a needle, thread and a pile of fabric and I’m entirely lost. Sure, I can put something together, but no matter how neo-modern fashion may become, no one is going to want to buy the atrocity which I’d have created.
This past weekend we sat down to design some new lines. Fortunately, my eye for design has gotten much better, and Melanie actually turns to me for input now. Score! While I may not have been promoted from blogger to designer, I definitely got my fingerprint on the next lines coming out later this year.
So, as a sneak peak at the forthcoming designs, here’s what our designing board looked like this weekend.
We cannot wait to share our new ring pillow designs with you. Stay tuned the coming months – we hope to be able to unveil even more.
We were thrilled about five months ago when BRIDES was interested in receiving a few of the Maihar Design ring pillows. The excitement escalated when they informed us there would be a piece featuring ring bearer pillows, and that the Tori Ring Bearer Pillow was going to be included.
Originally we expected a spring publication date, so I was bouncing with joy yesterday when I received word the piece was in the February 2010 issue of BRIDES Magazine – which was on stands already! I rushed to the Walgreen’s to get my hands on a few copies, then surprised Melanie with the news in hand.
Below is the piece from the February 2010 issue of BRIDES Magazine. Melanie goes to great lengths to achieve precision in her designs, and she was been extremely meticulous deciding which fabrics will comprise our various products. I love that this article goes into detail the craftsmanship of our pillows, and accurately outlines how our pieces are different from others.
While our pillows may not be for every bride, I am hopeful their uniqueness does not go unnoticed and that the detail is appreciated. I have zero sewing or designing ability, so I proudly pat my sister on the back for her beautiful work – I surely take no credit.
One thing Melanie and I love about working together is the excitement we both share. Every milestone we achieve is tremendous, and we continue to be ever so grateful to the wedding industry professionals who give us such an honor with their kind words.
Thanks again to everyone for your support. We truly love our little business, Maihar Design, and are hopeful to grow it into something larger, always aware that every day is an undeserved blessing from God.
