Where It All Began...


Client: She needs something fantastic for her parents who are celebrating their 50th anniversary. They are tried and true New Yorkers, retired to sunny Florida and are throwing a big bash to celebrate their unity. She wants to celebrate their love with something sentimental yet unexpected.

Gen: How did these love birds meet? Turns out to be quite the story. In just one day, there was a baseball game, a swim and a trip to the theatre. Four months later they said "I do"! A photo shoot was  planned; where black and white images were captured telling the story of "Where It All Began". Cheers to the amazing duo! (yes that really is their wedding picture)

Barcelona Bride


Client: A Valentine for his Spanish bride. They met in Madrid (she's from Barcelona), married here and call Atlanta home. Something sweet to remind her of where they met, where she's from and how much he loves her.

Gen: Right away, know the perfect treat! These sweet hand stamped charms come with different phrases in her language from home. He picks the one that says "Kiss Me".

Wicked Tooth


Client: Her roommate has a wicked sense of humor and sweet tooth to match. She wants something small for V Day that will make both sides happy.

Gen: When we came across these, we could barely stand it. Legal absinthe flavored lollipops? Yes it is true. Don't get us started on the flavor with real bacon. Lick, lick!

Green Day


Client: Looking for a few of the same thing for Valentine treats; but the budget's tight. A green gift that will be good for his assistant, dog watcher, and his best girl friend. Something small to acknowledge the day and show his "love" for what they do.

Gen: A green treat for Valentines Day....These are the perfect alternative to fresh cut flowers. They grow in the container they arrive in and bloom vibrant red Cosmos; brightening many, many days to come. It's love!

Blossom


Client: It is a friends' from college 40th birthday. They are headed for a weekend away to pamper themselves in an Asian retreat. Massages, steam baths, wine, reflection. It is all part of the plan! She'd like just a little something extra for her friend; to remind her of this relaxing adventure.

Gen: She loves all things Asian, is busy with her career...meaning lots of take-out and doesn't spend much on herself these days. Perhaps something pretty that she can enjoy her take away sushi on. Glam up a Tuesday night at home and remind her of the celebration of good friends and turning 40.

Directions


Client: She needs a gift for her husband. He is an amazingly creative and thoughtful gift giver; and she wants to up her game and really surprise him this time. He loves his Irish heritage, appreciates men's fashion and is always up for an adventure.

Gen: You travel the world together.... He loves to plan the next big trip from Dubai to Maldives to Paris. You have a blog just to show your traveling photos. A world map is ordered, custom framing is complete and silver stick pins show where you two have been. Something he will have to reflect and remember; as well as dream up the next big getaway.

Snip, snip


Client: Wants a funky treat for her hair stylist; who is just back to work after having her first baby. She is part punk, with plenty of attitude packed into her tiny frame but this new momma is also "very sweet".

Gen: Fun, fun! Pink hair one week and black the next. Rock-a-billy baby in Vans on the way home from the hospital. Perhaps something comfy with that perfect American Apparel fit and tons of fun in the design. You should see the back!
