bonnie plants commercial
today i worked with Wallis Visuals on a shoot for Bonnie Plants. the grips had themselves a little party... meanwhile, I was loving my 1 prop responsibility (change the letters on the mugshot board) .
southern living bbq sauces
more delicious recipes that i am so grateful to have been able to eat (and prop style) thanks to Southern Living.
the grumpy gardener set
designing sets are some of my favorite gigs because it's a mixture of 2 of my loves :: building and propping, which is mostly rewarding because you can watch something transform in a relatively short time. I designed and built The Grumpy Gardner set this weekend, and i'm really excited about the end result.
hibbett sports
Hibbett Sports teamed up with RSQ and Wallis Visuals again to produce instore banners and lifesize cut outs. great locations + an even better crew (Alabama Grip Co) + THE Jason Wallis= beautiful work everytime!
southern living 30min chili
ohhh you know, just a yummy little something i got to prop style for Southern Living.
beardmetrics app
i was the art dept. on this amusing shoot for Six Foot Five Productions, and the folks at Baremetrics.com
in my studio today playing with some black clay with dreams of making pendant lights out of this beautiful clay body in the near future...
celebrate
today i'm shooting an editorial for next years christmas story for Celebrate Magazine. i've been crushing on natural organic christmas decor and dreamy little LED wire lights, so i went with a simply natural theme with a few sparkles here and there.
i love writing on vintage sheet music so simple & lovely.
new piano
i found this square grand piano on craigslist the other day. i got an upright piano on there years ago, but this time i was supposed to be shopping for my boyfriend who was looking for a piano for his loft, but you know...truthfully, i can't resist hunting for deals... and wellllll... i kinda fell in love with this one, so i told him he could have my upright piano if he helped me get this one into my house. i hired a piano tuner to get it into shape because it had been years since it's last tuning & this guy didn't mess around. if you need a tuner in the Birmingham area, Robertson Piano Tuning is the best!
time inc digital studios
in the Time Inc Digital studios today styling Nicole's yummy recipes.
southern living wreaths & holiday stufffs
had fun in the Southern Living studios today making videos for a few holiday wreaths. these wreaths were featured in previous issues, but they needed a little DIY video to show the process.
rapala
this shoot for Rapala took us to the white sandy beaches of the Alabama gulf coast... in the winter... however, we got out there all bundled up and Jason got some great shots and we had a lot of fun.
hibbett goes urban

alabama tourism
the Alabama Tourism spot for Luckie & Co., shot by Wallis Visuals, was a unique tour of our charming state. Alabama the Beautiful, so glad to call you my home.
big oak ranch spots
Taylor Robinson of Six Foot Five Productions is always a delight to work with, and a lot of his work is with clients who support humanity and love people in practical ways. it's always a plus to work on a job where the end result supports a great cause and this commercial for Big Oak Ranch was really a gift to be a part of. thank you At Home for the 2 farm tables!
each of the lines in this commercial were based off of true stories of individuals who were rescued and live at the ranch.
regions + coach saban
working with the hilariously funny guys from World War Seven was a real treat, not to mention the main talent was coach i really admire as well. overall really entertaining shoot. we had to transform a conference room into a college rec center so as to maximize the amount of time we had with Coach Saban. He was a great sport and delivered his lines beautifully. a special thanks to West Elm Birmingham for the benches!
fresh style christmas
such good fun styling a christmas shoot (in july) featuring the lovely mr and mrs van horn. caitlyn's former blog, Roost, was a great source of inspiration for people all over the interwebs, and her newest venture into moving pictures, will i'm sure be equally so.
war room
one of the last days of filming, was the vietnam period-piece scene of a war room// strategy tent. we built the tent inside a large warehouse making a lot of flats out of 2x4s and stapling authentic army green canvas to the frame as the walls. i rented a lot of authentic gear from a source in Asheville which really helped sell the look. the pendants over the table were from CB2 and the old flag was actually a scarf from Free People. everything i own is up for grabs when it comes to propping, in fact it helps me feel better about owning// collecting so many things (some call it junk, i call them little money makers).
we leaned authentic wooden tent poles in the corners to sell the look and as i took a closer look at the poles, i noticed something familiar. <on each of my bigger gigs (multiple day shoots) i feel like i get a little message from above... it's always confirmation that i am right where i'm supposed to be; much appreciated and super encouraging always.> see what you think about the photos below...
