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.”
— Taylor Masterson, Director of Sales & Marketing, Fairlane Hotel

CASE STUDY

Nashville, TN
Hallson Hospitality wanted images to launch their summer campaign in style — across email, social, and their website — without looking like stock.
They already had a strong brand and a loyal audience. They just needed photography to match their voice.

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.
