IN THE STUDIO
dans l’atelier
What it is—
Component #1: the newsletter
Think of it as your invitation to coffee. It’s where we talk about what really happens in the studio—the inspiration, the difficulties, and the joys. I want to peel back the curtain on this very full life as a florist, creative, entrepreneur, and mother with young children. In doing so, I hope to entertain your curiosities and encourage you through your struggles and towards your own dreams.
Component #2: this! the blog
This space acts as a folder for things I mention in the emailed newsletters. My goal is to keep the newsletter short and sweet. You can simply read the letter and be done, or delve deeper into a topic by clicking a link to a longer article or a more thorough gallery of images. This is where those additional musings and images will live.

Peony Editorial - Part 2
I had the pleasure of organizing a shoot featuring the Alaska Peony Cooperative's newest products which will become available for the first time in 2020. For this second look, we focused on the softer colored peony varieties. We kept it intimate and simple, creating a romantic bridal shoot in the private gardens of Walnut Hill.
The second look designed for the Alaska Peony Cooperative features white and blush peony varieties including Mother’s Choice petites and spray, Elsa Sass spray, Imaculee spray, Pecher spray, Boule de Neige petites and spray, and Sarah Bernhardts.
The first look which was designed with a more colorful array of blooms can be viewed here: Romantic Garden Peony Shoot - Part 1
The pale, luxurious blooms were styled with a dusty pink silk slip dress from BHLDN in the hedged heirloom rose garden. In order to demonstrate the versatility of the petite peonies, I created various wearable pieces including an elegant hairpiece and an elaborate, oversized cuff corsage tied with silk ribbon. Because the focus of the project was the flowers themselves, we kept it intimate and simple.
This project is also featured on Southern Bride Magazine HERE.
This project involved Abigail Lewis Photography, Peonies from Alaska Peony Cooperative, Genia Church from Epiphany Salon, Angela Folmar of Luminous Beauty Boutique, Walnut Hill Farm, Noelle Head from SALT Model Agency, The Copper Quail, Tinted Studio, and Laura Lines Calligraphy.
