Ellen Schiller is the founder and visionary behind Hey Blue Handmade, based in Salem, MA. Here the day begins with a rich, indigo dye bath and her loyal dog, Goldberg, nearby. Then it's off to the sewing studio with a bundle of dried cord to create piece-by-piece bags and vessels of all shapes and sizes.

Our three-day shoot collaboration, featured on location lifestyle and fashion imagery and a behind-the-scenes look at an indigo dye day. The colors and neutrals like magenta, tangerine or charcoal are vibrant or serene and depend on Ellen's whims and inspired tinkering. My image delivery was a robust collection of images that gave Ellen lots of options to refresh her social media platforms, printed collateral and advertising needs.
