Selected work / Hamlin Hills Farm
A small brochure. A long history.
Brochure design and photography for a Forsyth destination with plenty of personality—and a client connection that goes back to my first paid logo.

01 / The connection
The client who knew me at the start.
Lee Hamlin gave me my first paid logo project: Hamlin & Co. Years later, he hired me to photograph and create a brochure for Hamlin Hills Farm.
That history makes this piece personal. It brought years of design experience and photography back to a client whose roofing company helped mark the beginning of my professional work.

02 / Brochure design
Plenty to see. One piece to take home.
The brochure brings the farm’s attractions, food and personality together in a portable print piece. A red identity panel anchors the cover, while a grid of photographs gives visitors a quick look at what’s inside the gate.
The blue sky and sweeping farm imagery connect the panels. Short captions let the photographs carry much of the story.

03 / Photography
Open it up. Meet the farm.
The inside spread opens onto a panoramic farm view, with smaller images of visitors, activities, produce and barbecue. Photography gives the brochure a sense of place before someone arrives.
I photographed the barbecue plates and incorporated the updated food images during the design process. The finished layout brings those details into the larger story of a day at Hamlin Hills.

04 / Print preparation
Made to leave the screen.
I supplied preview images and a PDF for the client’s in-house printer, then asked to see a photograph of the printed proof to check how the colors compared with the preview.
That practical step is part of the design work. The goal was a useful printed piece that carried the farm’s character into someone’s hands.
