Working with Jill Stollmeyer of East Wellbeing and Tea was an absolute pleasure. Jill is exceptionally friendly and gracious, which made the experience of capturing her business incredibly enjoyable. Our project involved creating a comprehensive portfolio that showcased the diverse aspects of her business—from her dedicated staff and the array of services they provide to the intimate corners of the tea bar and front counter.

Furthermore, the session included capturing the quality of their skincare products and the uniqueness of their organic tea blends. I also had the opportunity to shoot Jill's portraits as well as all her staff, which added a personalized touch to the collection.

These images were designed for her website and social media platforms, enhancing and amplifying her brand’s visibility.

A SLO Brand We’ll Miss

Regrettably, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, East Wellbeing and Tea had to close its doors—a significant loss given the unique experience it offered.

Located in San Luis Obispo, CA, this wellness center and spa was a sanctuary offering everything from acupuncture and ayurvedic treatments to holistic facials and luxurious massages. Beyond the spa services, the skincare products, and sophisticated organic teas, the thoughtful design of the location truly set it apart.

With elegantly designed themed rooms, visitors could enjoy a cup of soothing tea or a relaxing facial in an environment crafted for utmost relaxation and escape. This was a SLO brand that everyone deserved to experience, characterized by its commitment to well-being and meticulously curated ambiance.

Jill has moved on to many new ventures since 2020. Check her out on Instagram @JillGutierrezWilde
