This year I was so lucky to meet a new friend in Laura. She is the owner of Farmyard Blooms located in Fowlerville, Michigan. Not only is she passionate about her stems, she also loves sharing her knowledge with others.

On many occasions, I have used her charming property for family and children photo sessions. And, every time I am at the flower farm, Laura is so patient with me as I ask her one million questions. As someone who can’t keep a cactus alive, to me what she does is fascinating and extraordinary.

Because Laura has been so generous with me, I was super pumped when she asked if I would come by to take some branding photos for the farm. I am so eager to deliver photos that highlight her beautiful flowers and her beautiful soul. On this perfect early fall evening, I think I was able to capture both perfectly!

Laura, how can I ever thank you enough for all the blessings you have given me this year. From vases of free blooms, to letting me use your home to help me grow my own business, you are extremely giving and kind. I hope you can find ways to use these stunning images of you doing what you love to keep promoting your business, long after the first frost of the year. Keep growing girl, you are doing amazing things. XO, Kelly Harper.
