Melanie Grizzel

Austin-based Melanie Grizzel has an authentic and warm approach to portraiture and storytelling. Her images exude a connection with the people she is photographing.

For her website update, we focused on showcasing the best of her portraits, food and tourism photography. The updated site is well-suited to editorial, corporate, non-profit, and travel industry clients.

Natasha Lee

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Santa Monica-based luxury travel, food, and hospitality photographer Natasha Lee.

Our main goal for her site was to create an overview page that showcased a mix of interiors, details, food, portraits, and destinations. I love how it came out!

Select clients of Natasha’s include Apple, Food & Wine Magazine, Airbnb, Ritz Carlton Magazine, Tahiti Tourism, Geico, and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, among others.

Lauren and I recently completed updating her website: http://laurenedith.com/. We reworked her galleries to emphasize her mix of interiors and spaces, with a focus on California and it's indoor/outdoor lifestyle. I love the way it came out, and now have some serious wanderlust for a trip to Northern California.

Check out the beautiful photos of the factory where handmade wallpaper is crafted (in the Work, Shop gallery). Stunning!
