Three Sisters Jewelry Design by Zoe – Hip, Hand Stamped Jewelry

Some Things You Should Know About Zoe:

1. i'm a regular mom - i have three daughters, the "three sisters." they are 9, 6 & 3 and each so different. they keep me really busy!
2. my husband is hilariously-funny and a really good dancer. he can break dance like no other.
3. i live just north of san diego, california in a funky little beach town.
4. i am also a photographer - check out my site with my photography partner, lisa peirce - lisa & zoe photography
5. i hope that you'll comment on my blog - i like to know that you care :)
6. i always wear my hair in a ponytail. even my kids think i look "weird" when i wear my hair down.
7. i'm a well disguised "type-a" person. you would never know it just looking at me.
8. if i had to wear the same thing every day, i would wear my jean's, my green army jacket and my flip flops. and of course, a ton of jewelry.
9. i am a music freak and am constantly searching for new artists. my favorite musician to stamp jewelry to is jack white.
10. i have a personal vendetta against cancer - i've had it twice and lost my amazing mom to cancer when she was only 56. ironically, these experiences have changed the course of my life.

nieces…cousins…family….

Jul 6

we have family visiting from denmark and virginia. my girls have been having so much fun – attention round the clock by big kids. they look up to their glamorous, grown-up cousins and are in total awe of them. when they left tonight, my girls cried wondering when they would see them again. it’s funny how you have that special bond with family, even if they’re a zillion miles away, living different lives. i stole my nieces away for a quick, impromptu photo shoot this evening. so fun and what beauties! so glad i could create memories for them and send them home with some pictures, california-style!

best wishes, zoe

to texture or not?…or put more directly, to avoid my life or not?

Apr 20

this is very typical of me. i am in the midst of the busiest season at Three Sisters (Mother’s Day – ack!) – and instead of focusing on jewelry, i start journeying down another path and blocking jewelry out of my mind. during fall holiday photo season, i started designing new pieces and blocking out photography. i’m not sure how to label that type of personality – but whatever it is, i have a heavy dose of it! as niels likes to say “that’s how i roll.” anyway, my latest obsession is “texturing” images in photoshop – completely and totally unrelated to what i need to be focusing on. in fact, a big waste of time at this moment in my day. but i am thinking about it non-stop. weird-o! anyhoo – here are my latest texturized images from my sunday high school “senior” shoot. too much? too over the top? i love a bit of drama, so i tend to like it. but maybe i am blinding myself with the drama… or the avoidance of what is my life.

best wishes, zoe

a beautiful day for a wedding!

Apr 14

what did i to today? i photographed a wedding! yes, on a wednesday at the beautiful hotel del coronado…right on the beach. shooting barefoot in the sand is so freeing! i think how funny it is that i live close to so many beautiful places and i don’t check them out unless i have a “reason.” i need to make more of an effort not to have purpose or “reason” behind the things that i do… i think that will take some effort but i will give it a try! what about you?
