Some people are just straight up magic. Jenny is absolutely one of these people. We met at the cusp of the tree line and together we ventured into the forest allowing the branches to envelope us. She hauntingly danced, floating among leaves. A force of nature herself the wind circled around gently playing with her hair and clothing even as she sat perfectly still.
Black Orchid Skincare | Product Photography | Manchester, Connecticut
Meet Black Orchid Skincare - All natural and organic, plant-based skincare and soy candles. Handcrafted in CT and lovingly made in small batches by a plant-lovin’ Creatrix Jessica Balaban.
Jessica has always had a fascination with witches, skulls, apothecaries, and herbs. About five years ago, she began transitioning to a cleaner lifestyle with her food choices, household products, and skincare items. When she started making her own products, it became a much-needed creative outlet and a chance to use her artistic abilities and marketing skills to create a business, as well as a way to provide herself, her family, and the community a healthy alternative to the chemicals that we're used to putting on our bodies. - Via Nutmeg Collective.

Emmy Starr Designs | Brand Lifestyle Session | Wilton, Connecticut
Meet Emmy Starr Designs.
Emmy is a lovely maker of delicate sterling silver and gemstone jewelry. The jewelry with the perfect balance to become your staple piece. Just the right amount of sparkle and just the right pop of color which makes it perfect for mixing and matching.
I love that her jewelry looks fabulous on any woman at any stage in her life. Timeless and ageless.
We shot in a lovely back yard oasis with gorgeous florals and donkeys!! (I KNOW!!!!) Don’t worry I won’t leave you hanging they’ll make an appearance at the end.
“I am drawn to simple designs made with classic sterling silver and timeless gemstones. Nothing too glitzy or showy, just lovely stones in graceful designs. I want my work to be comfortable and easy for women to wear, whether it's a day at work or a weekend date night out with friends. Jewelry should be a subtle complement to a woman's individual beauty, and the delicate nature of ESD pieces echo that belief.” - Emmy Starr

Vanessa V. | Portrait Session | Fairfield County, Connecticut
Meet Vanessa owner of Mindful Motion Photo, Dog Mom and Resident Gym Buddy. She has a fabulous portfolio and has an eye for capturing the essence of an event. You know those little details that really define the day.
She and I met via an Instagram story when we realized that we both lived in our quiet little town. It was one of those instant besties situations. When I leased my studio this summer she was one of the first sessions in there. Being trusted with photos for a fellow photographer is always an honor mainly because I know how little we actually like to get in front of the lens.
LMM Design | Product Photography | Fairfield County, Connecticut
Meet the jewelry of LMM Design. Lori Meehan is a Silversmith, Artisan and Instructor. Her work has this wonderful organic ebb and flow to it. The ripple of waves formed in a continuous motion or the interlocking of delicate textured loops. Gentle yet visually substantial.
“I enjoy the process of taking a flat piece of metal or a straight piece of wire and creating shapes, forms, textures and sculptures.” - Lori Meehan via The Nutmeg Collective
For your own piece of LMM Design you can find them on Facebook or sold in person locally here in Connecticut.
