Green Science, Skincare, Fragrance Female Entrepreneur Over 50 {Nashville, TN Brand Photographer}

In her British accent she exclaims, “Hello, dah-ling!”

Working with Karen Sinclair Drake on her brand photoshoot was an absolute delight. She’s passionate, all about philanthropy, hilarious and totally gorgeous to photograph - plus her home (where we did her shoot) is off-the-charts magazine worthy, so that was a magnificent bonus!

Karen is the brains behind Flowering Pharmacy where she uses her decades of knowledge and experience in the skincare industry and combines it with her knowledge and passion for flowers and all things of-the-earth and creates custom fragrances for small businesses and personalities! How cool is that?!

It was awesome to work with someone in the green science space since I haven’t done any brand photography for anyone in that industry before this. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention how much I loved working with a female entrepreneur over the age of 50. Being around her, her energy, hearing the story of her career - it was all really awesome. I felt that I was both in the presence of a peer AND a mentor. (Oh, and it was so fun to be given some of her all natural & luxury skincare line! I loved it so much that I’ve ordered it on my own several times now! haha! I love when I get to be a client of my client’s!).

Karen, in particular, is a special client to me because we started to work together just as we were having to put our dog down. He was almost 18 and it was time. I had told Karen because I didn’t know exactly what day it would be and she and I were trying to schedule a planning call. She was beyond gracious. She had put her cat down a few months before and sent me a voice memo with the most beautiful words of compassion and wisdom. She was so open and flexible with scheduling. She really treated the situation the way that we should 100% treat women in business - that we can still be total badasses at what we do AND we’re human and go through sucky things sometimes. She held space for both - I was her brand photographer AND a human. THIS is how we overcome hustle culture and move into our feminine flow of self-care and true self-awareness - to allow other women in business to do the same.

We’re in the process of booking another shoot and I can’t wait!
