We’re in the depths of winter here in Portland, with snow in the forecast and summer feeling a long way away. A season that calls for a bit of color and memories of warmer days. And a good moment to share photos from a photo shoot last July when I had the opportunity to photograph Arielle Zamora and her micro floral business Small Yard Florals for Luxe Interiors + Design.
Small Yard Florals is based in North Portland with rows of flowers planted in Arielle’s front and back yards, as well as scattered in plots of various neighbor’s yards. She creates bouquets in her garage studio with the sound of her four ducks in her backyard as a soundtrack. I wish I could transport myself back to that warm summer afternoon walking around the blooming bushes with ducks scampering around my feet. For now, these photos will take me there. Enjoy!
