A few weeks ago I logged into Facebook (or as I call it – God’s gift to an incurable, yet isolated, Gossip) and thought for sure I had a message intended for someone else.
Me? Photographing 23 Hair Salon…a beautifully minimalist, chic, upscale salon in Richmond? THE CITY??
You do know that I spend my days in muck, yuck and bacon grease, right?
I have my own chickens and I photograph senior portraits in a barn doorway?
Kelly assured me that she wanted ME, yes ME to photograph her new salon and the gorgeous women who work for her.
Look. It’s not Go-Jo hand cleaner.
And no one is using this as a watering trough or eating the rosepetals.
I was in a different land. A land that smelled good and looked even better with impossibly thin, stylish, beautiful people populating the neighborhood dressed impeccably in black.
Sure enough, the next morning I awoke to sunrises, cornfields and four hungry, messy children.
It’s what I expect my days to be like. It’s what I love my days to be like. It’s what I want my days to be…
But every now and then I wouldn’t mind the unexpected chance to spend a little time in beautifully decorated, quiet salons with stylish people. Maybe a little will rub off on me.

I wish I could go to that salon, of course my sister might get mad that I allow someone other than her to touch my hair or feet. lol Great pictures Jennifer and I think they picked the perfect person to take their pictures!!!
Okay, the salon pics are great, but i am loving the barn pic with the cotton and the fog, gorgeous!!! you had to have been up before dawn to catch that one!
Beautiful salon! The pictures so make me want to visit.
That is a gorgeous place! The pics are great and I am always so glad to see the wings of my sister-in-law spreading!
Yep, M.K. woke me up at 5am… after I’d been awake until 2 editing photos. I was making blueberry muffins and got to look out on that scenery. Love it!
No comparison; I’d choose your life any day over the salon. Those that never experience the scenes you did on this day are truly missing out!
Well when the muck gets a lil deep you know right where to go to pretty back up!
Gorgeous photos!!!!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder….and beauty is where you are!!!!!!
Jennifer Griffin……you rock!
So do you, Susie!!
I love my farm, my barn, my horses and my land. But I also live 2 hours from Chicago!!! Blessed beyond measure with that!
Beautifully written and photos are wonderful! You truly are a gifted young lady in so many ways – a great wife, Mom and career lady all rolled up in one – and I am so proud to call you my daughter – Love you!!!
