Miss Spenser’s Tea Room

I had the delightful opportunity to photograph Miss Spenser’s Tea Room a couple months ago. The tea room is operated by Spenser and Donna Hardin, a sweet mother-and-daughter duo from Indianola. They had me come out during a morning tea to take photos in order to submit them to the Country Woman Magazine. What a great opportunity for their business! Country Woman loved my photos, and Spenser and Donna are in the process of being interviewed for an article in the magazine. It’s so exciting that you could soon see my photos in the magazine!

Miss Spenser’s Tea Room is no ordinary tea room. They have created it to have the ambiance of being on grandma’s farm, with Country-Victorian style decor. It is a quaint, peaceful getaway from the hustle of every-day life. Not only are the guests served an exquisite meal, they are also treated with a special drama performance by Spenser, to go along with the month’s theme.  Spenser is such a talented young woman, and I encourage you to check out their Tea Room sometime!

An exciting day!

It’s going to be like Christmas for me today in the mail! I’ve been waiting for a few things, and they are all expected to arrive on the same day! The MOST exciting thing is a HUGE box for a 30×40 canvas print from Nathan & Jalene’s wedding. I’m also expecting a sample album from their wedding, as well as a proofbook from Tyler & Katie’s wedding. So much to look forward to – the hours of this morning seem to be passing by so slowly! I can’t wait to post photos of these treasures tonight!

It’s so funny that I caught this moment – this gentleman was really eager for the wedding to begin! And this is how I feel today as I wait!
