Product: Prime Physique Nutrition

Over the past year, I've met many business owners. They range from small businesses with just the owner to established ones who have a team of employees.

I love learning about how they got started and WHY they started. Most of them began as trying to solve a problem they had and weren't able to find a solution anywhere. When I met Abby of Prime Physique Nutrition, she shared her struggle with eczema growing up. She tried everything from steroids, to creams and other medication, but none of it worked so she decided to change her lifestyle starting with her diet. She started seeing results and that's when she developed her own natural balm and bath soak. 

Abby got in touch with me from a mutual friend's recommendation (Thanks Velsie!) and after we discussed what she needed to take her business to the next level, I styled and photographed her products. 

Featured: Wedluxe - Limoncello-Inspired Bridal Shower

Ashley, the floral designer and creative mind behind Flowerly, had an idea to center her own bridal shower around the theme of lemons and limoncello. The cheerful yellow reflected the bright and celebratory energy that day. With the help of a great team, everything came together.

Take a look at all the details, especially the huge backdrop made from real lemons and be sure to check out the team after the gallery who made this possible. 

The bridal shower took place at the beautiful Colette Grand Cafe. 

The gold foil stationery was designed by Nadiya V Design.

Ashley of Flowerly was not only the florist, she was also the bride-to-be. 

Lettering on the clear gift box was done by none other than Doris of Love Lettering.

Published: Extraordinary Handlettering

My friend and fellow small-business owner Doris of Love Lettering published a book, where she shares her insight and process in hand lettering projects. I’m extremely proud of her accomplishment. I’m also thankful that I had the opportunity to contribute to the photography in the book. It’s surreal to see the photos in print and I’ll always be grateful to Doris for trusting me with this project.
