Menton’s beautiful Nashville branding session was so much fun! This beautiful lady works at the School For Science And Math at Vanderbilt University, is a fantastic mom, and runs a super successful watercolor business. Menton shared with me that she started watercolor painting while she was pregnant with her firstborn, her daughter, and it brought her love of art back into their lives. As you can see, it’s clearly a family affair! Now, after a few years, her watercolor work is her side business. Menton owns and operates Hum Designs Paper Shop. And her work is just incredible!!! I loved being able to photograph her at work – and some detailed shots of her completed art. Simply incredible.
