I was so honored when Kelly Shore, of Petals by the Shore, asked me to be part of a year long styled shoot showcasing Plant Masters farm through the seasons.
The focus of these shoots was to show the changes the Laytonsville, MD farm would go through as well as using flowers and greenery grown from them.
With an amazing team of vendors (ranging from vintage rentals to real life couples as models) we were able to give each shoot a distinct feel and story based on the current season and what was growing.
Debra Prinzing believed in Kelly’s vision as well and wrote the 11 page spread that was featured in Florist’s Review Magazine.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in the project. It was such an honor to work with so many amazing small businesses and creatives and to bring Kelly’s vision to life.
Now a peek into each season. Vendor’s instagram handles credited below so go follow!
