Capturing the ✨SPARKLE✨

When I was asked to photograph a new glassware collection for Mary Square, I knew it was going to be a lively, joyful project! This collection—featuring gorgeous champagne flutes, stylish stemless wine glasses, and versatile tumblers—is all about celebrating birthdays and the joy of gathering with friends and family. 

To bring this festive spirit to life, we set up an outdoor picnic bursting with color, texture, and the kind of details that make birthdays magical. The scene was filled with fun props: balloons, fresh flowers, and a beautifully frosted cake that I WISH we cut 😉. The backdrop of Pullen Park in Raleigh provided a perfect canvas, letting the glassware pieces shine with their elegance and charm against a lively, party-ready atmosphere.

These images are on their way to Mary Square's e-commerce site, catalog, and social media channels, illustrating how this collection can become a part of every special day.

This project was a delight to shoot, and I can’t wait to see these images used to inspire others to raise a glass to life’s joyful moments. Here’s to the little things that make birthdays—and every day—worth celebrating!
