EDITORIAL // NECTAR & CO.

I had the tremendous privilege of working with Nectar & Co. on a recent project of theirs for a very exciting project with Southern Living Plant Collection.

It was my first experience working so intimately with plans and decor, and I have to say it was as enjoyable as I've ever anticipated. Carmen and her team are packed full of talent and enthusiasm for their art! They have such a natural ability to work with plants and a fine-tuned attention to detail that an artist like myself can appreciate! I [just might] have been inspired to start my own little container garden!

These images were designed to inspire use of container gardens for cooking, entertaining, and decorating. I, for one, left the shoot wanting to fill my home with the smell of rosemary and the beauty of the greenery. What do you think?

Carmen and team,

I remember "meeting" Nectar and Co. at a bridal show in 2010, and adding to my "goals" list to work with such a fabulous company. Lo' and behold, the day has come! I can't thank you enough for allowing me this opportunity. Wishing you all the best as the seasons turn and looking forward to the collaborations to come!

Enjoy, friends.

Artist Session | Chris Bump

Seriously, this kid has some sick talent.

I actually went to high-school with Chris, which is just totally ironic that our paths would cross again in a local coffee shop. Chris performs at Bare Bulb on a regular basis--and has developed quite the fan-club here locally. If I'm not mistaken, an album is soon-to-be-in-the-making, and I know we can expect awesome things from this guy.

We shot his portraits the same evening of J.C. & Taylor's Couple Session. Given that I probably was not going to have the opportunity to utilize this sweet location again, we spontaneously decided to snap some shots.

Here are a few of my favs. Enjoy!

Artistic Couple Session | JC & Taylor

So, let me just say that my siblings are the coolest ever. My little sister is AWESOME (she's been featured in earlier posts, and will certainly be featured again in the future). My little brother, featured in this post, is super COOL. {Let's just say I'm at a loss for flowery adjectives today, leaving me privy to words like "awesome" and "super cool".}

Anyway, when my brother fell in love, he FELL IN LOVE. Our family likes to give him quite a hard time about it, but in all reality it's quite sweet. I couldn't ask for a better lady for my brother--and I never thought I would be so approving. You have also seen his girlfriend (& my friend), Taylor, featured in several older posts. ♥

Together, they make the neatest hipster-indie duo around, and we couldn't have asked for better lighting or photo ops for this session. It's certainly in my top favorites of all time.

Also, for my birthday, I was OVERWHELMED (to say the least) by the showers of blessings from my friends and family, and (in addition to a shopping spree at Anthropologie) was able to purchase some FABULOUS Lightroom Presets (photo editing stuff) from Totally Rad. This is the first session utilizing them. Yay!

Thanks so much, JC and Taylor, for being so wonderful and at ease with the camera! Love you guys!

Enjoy, friends. {♥}

Creative Session | Rebecca Cerasani

Rebecca Cerasani is a beautiful soul. Truly. She has one of the most contagious laughs you could imagine, and carries a spirit of joy everywhere she goes.

Rebecca is an excellent photographer, who has utilized her years of photographic expertise to hone-in on executing some of the best photo-journalistic Wedding Photography in Central Georgia {and beyond!}. You can view her work here!

When Rebecca contacted me to do a super, extra girlie session, I could not have been more ecstatic! Really. She knows what I love--classy vintage dresses, floral teacups, pearls, lace, pink. I really couldn't ask for a better client. Everything she does, even her modeling, is saturated with a spirit of excellence.

I could not be more happy with these pictures. All of the benefits of being a girl are just displayed so wonderfully throughout this session.

To my future clients (Seniors, Couples, Models): know that the sky is the limit. Creativity shows no end. If you can dream it for a session, we can find a way to make it happen! {And this session is proof!}

Enjoy, my friends. ♥

{And my favorite from the session! ♥}
