happy friday! | spring at hawthorn house + orchards

Happy Friday!  Take time to enjoy Spring if you've still got hold of her in your part of the world.  We're hitting 90 degrees in Charlottesville on Monday and I am not prepared for summer!

Here is a little peek at the two days I spent at Hawthorn House + Orchard in West Virginia this week, where Spring is still going strong...

I am thrilled to be part of an amazing team of women working to create Hawthorn Inn + Orchard in Summit Point, WV. The historic 1800's home, surrounded immediately by hawthorn trees and peripherally by 200+ acres of apple orchard, underwent an impressive renovation in 2008 and will become a destination inn later this year. I traveled to West Virginia in early January to meet the team and to capture the essence of Hawthorn in the Winter. It was the coldest, windiest day, but my memories of that 24 hours are filled with warmth and excitement for what's to come.

I will visit Hawthorn multiple times this year to create a complete set of images that tell the story of this magical place in all seasons. Truly, I can't wait to get back.

Welcome, to Hawthorn Inn + Orchard.
