Kenna J. Moore is a Louisana filmmaker whose stories have been awarded by Oscar-qualifying New Orleans Film Festival and other prominent film fests in the U.S. Her music-producing partner, Ghazi Gamali, is a storyteller in his own right, known for documenting New Orleans’s music scene and lifestyle. The two learned in 2020 that they would soon be having a baby girl. Considering the couple’s reverence for the narrative, it only makes sense that their child’s welcome party was a perfect storybook shower.

Kenniese S. Franklin was hired as the lead stylist for the Enchanted Forest themed event, which took place on acres of bayou land in South Louisiana. Spatial Therapy’s role was to accessorize and accentuate the already majestic backdrop.

Yards of Spanish Moss were thoroughly washed and adhered to panels that were then mounted to a 10 foot by 6 foot wall connected to the deck. Additional moss panels were upcycled from a local artist and rearranged/repurposed by Kenniese.
Others materials include oak leaves and cut flowers.

The Twig Installation bordered the entrance path that led to the dining tables and photography backdrop.
