CLIENT EXPERIENCE
Fairlane Hotel & Storey Hospitality
Nashville, TN
Big things are happening at Fairlane Hotel.
Their fine dining restaurant, Modern Love, is one of just four U.S. venues to host the 7 Paintings experience. Their cocktail lounge recently launched a live music series. And their retro chic café buzzes with travelers and locals alike.
The Fairlane team and their hospitality partners at Storey needed photography that conveyed luxury — while capturing the energy and bold design that make this brand unforgettable.
Laura’s photos are amazing. She captured the spirit, color, and character of our hotel and restaurant so beautifully. The jewel tones, textures, and overall mood came through exactly as we’d hoped — authentic, elevated, and on-brand.
We’re so appreciative of the care and thought she brought to the shoot, and for her warm presence throughout. She was truly a pleasure to work with.”

In action
Email Campaign
Hallson, along with their media partners at Sawgrass Marketing, put my images to work immediately — building a “This could be you” email campaign to launch their summer season.
Because I had photographed, edited and optimized every image with their distinctive brand and formatting needs in mind, all they had to do was drop in a few favorites and press send.
Testimonials From Past Clients
What to Expect When We Work Together
“Working with Laura to photograph one of our projects was such a pleasure. She has an incredible eye for capturing the details, textures, and little moments that make a space feel special. She really took the time to understand the project and the vision behind it, and that came through so beautifully in the final images.
As a designer, it’s so meaningful to see a space you’ve poured so much into captured in a way that feels true to the design. Laura made the entire process feel effortless, and the photos gave the project a life beyond the space itself. She is incredibly talented, thoughtful, and wonderful to work with. I’m so grateful she captured this project for us.”
