Behind the Lens 📸

✿ Sometimes you just need to see something you love in a whole new light. So we handed Mary Lo to a local photographer and let them do their thing — here's what came back. ✿

A new set of eyes

We recently teamed up with talented Dallas creatives—photographer Alyssa Tranbarger (@alyssatranbarger) and floral designer Lizy Rutherford (@secretlife.of.florals). The concept: our products styled with abstract floral movement — sweeping, painterly gestures of blooms and petals — set against clean, simple backgrounds so the pieces (and the florals) do all the talking. The result? A set of images we're genuinely a little obsessed with.

Behind the scenes

Half the fun was in the making of it — building each abstract floral arrangement, playing with how the blooms could move and frame the pieces, and keeping the backgrounds pared-back so nothing competed. The florals bring the energy; the simplicity lets every detail breathe.
