Casey Cole­man Schwartz and Kit Cole­man Wertz of Flower Duet in their flo­ral stu­dio prep­ping flow­ers and green­ery. Pho­to from the Los Ange­les Times Busi­ness Sec­tion by Christi­na House

Mar­go Roo­sevelt, a long-time LA Times staff writer, reached out to us and then sent a fab­u­lous pho­tog­ra­ph­er from the Los Ange­les Times to our stu­dio to help tell the sto­ry of how small busi­ness­es like ours were recov­er­ing from the pan­dem­ic. Casey’s quote from the sto­ry is actu­al­ly the head­line! Very cool indeed. The pho­tog­ra­ph­er who came to our stu­dio was the love­ly and tal­ent­ed Christi­na House (@therealchristinahouse).

Here is a link to the arti­cle in the LA Times about Flower Duet’s recov­ery from the Covid-19 pan­dem­ic.
