Overview

We have worked with numerous acclaimed artists, photographers, and songwriters to mirror the emotional and aesthetic goals of McLemore, Cloudland, Hilton Worldwide, FlickMars, and other national clients.

Photography

Our most recent project, a 240,000-square-foot hotel and conference center, required a portfolio of over 275 color and black-and-white photographs to populate guest rooms and public spaces. To showcase the area's natural beauty, we commissioned former National Geographic Senior Photo Editor Kim Hubbard to create portraits of the flora, fauna, and landscapes around the hotel.

Libraries, Music & Collections

Curation has also included the creation of a 700-plus volume library located in the Cloudland hotel, an annual singer-songwriter series for the McLemore Resort, which has attracted dozens of Grammy-winning artists, and even a premium cigar humidor for McLemore's Clubhouse.
