A huge thank you to my family for their constant love and support. To my husband, Brent, for being my harshest critic, my number one taste-tester, and my greatest love. To my daughter Emmaline for stealing the show at every photoshoot and being my greatest joy. And to my sweet baby girl, who will be born around the release of this book—we can’t wait for you to join the party!
Mom, thank you for schlepping props, food, flowers, and everything in between. I couldn’t have done the project without you. To Claire, for taking such good care of E while I was working.
To Amy Cherry, my master photographer and friend, who always knew exactly what I wanted before I ever had to say anything. Working with you on this project was such fun! To Abi McGinnis, whose beautiful calligraphy graced almost every shoot—I can never thank you enough for your friendship and support.
Elizabeth Mayhew, thank you for your unbelievable support, guidance, and encouragement throughout this project. It wouldn’t have happened without you! To Molly Hodgin for giving this project a shot. To Mary Hooper for “getting me” in the very important design of this book. And to my editor Dawn Hollomon for helping create the book I’ve always dreamed of.
Thank you to all the local Nashville business owners who loaned me props, locations, food, your time and expertise: it was an honor to work with you, and I hope I have showcased your talents to the level that they deserve. To my friends and family who let me shoot at their homes, borrow their dishes, and use their children as models, I’m so thrilled to have you included in such a dream project.
Finally, to all my StylingMyEveryday.com followers: you are the reason I created this. Your encouragement and constant support mean so much!
