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.
Classy Wedding at Brentwood Mansion
For the wedding flowers, rather than the easy, expected choice of simple blushes and whites to accompany her white gown and navy bridesmaids dresses, Abi opted for a more dynamic wedding flower color palette with engaging textures and did not balk when I suggested adding a touch of yellow-gold silk ribbon to her bouquet. It added a warmth and sophistication that paired perfectly with the comfortable yet classy style and mood of the wedding.
