Launching A Floral Wander this Autumn Season, I had the privilege to work with creators Donna Stain, Tara Samuelson, and Tess Guinery to creatively capture and story-tell through the most captivating imagery.
Reflecting on the shoot, I had a conversation with Donna who described the experience as nothing short of magical. She recounted moments where Tess would twirl, expressing genuine freedom, and in those fleeting moments, something pure and powerful would unfold before their lenses.
This spontaneous shoot was orchestrated effortlessly, and I couldn't have entrusted anyone more than Donna, Tara, and Tess with sharing my message of Oak Meadow through this imagery.
Enjoy these moments that truly encapture the essence of not only A Floral Wander, But Oak Meadow.





"Notorious selfie in the Stain Playground mirror, Did I ever mention that this place has an essence of home for me..." Tess
Donna meticulously crafts the props, from the enchanting chrysanthemum hat to delicate floral-sewn wire ribbon, infusing each piece with a touch of whimsy and elegance.
In the midst of play and laughter, Donna, Tara, and Tess worked seamlessly to capture the essence of A Floral Wander. Every frame was a testament to their dedication and passion for their craft.
