There is a story here behind these flowers. These are the blooms that serendipitously brought me and my studio manager, Jordan, together last summer.
Picture this: three years back, I finally emerged from my cave of social distancing and wandered into Anthropologie – determined to buy something, anything, really.
My eyes landed on these stunning paper hydrangeas in the front windows , and bam! In my head, they had already transformed into my next photo shoot set.
Now, keep in mind, I was fresh in Naperville studio-less, I no longer had access to our Chicago studio space, and let's not even discuss how thrilled Jim would be to stash more studio equipment in our already brimming basement. Despite the obvious lack of space, I left my number with the manager, asking for a call if they ever decided to part with the florals.
Fast forward two years…. Who calls? Jordan! I had forgotten all about the flowers but here she was announcing the great hydrangeas were ready to depart from the confines of Anthropologie’s basement!
By a twist of fate, I had just signed a lease on a studio just a stone's throw from their doorstep, and voilà, just like that the hydrangeas found their forever home. Little did we know, these weren't just any flowers; they were destined to be a catalyst for Jordan and I to meet!
So here we stand, these hydrangeas and I, ready to sprinkle some special floral magic on your Mother’s Day.
We're excited to invite you to an exclusive Studio 25 session this May 4th and 5th. For our Signature Studio 25 Sessions in Naperville. Trust me, it's going to be bloomin’ fantastic!
