Capturing the Old World Made Modern with Designer Ginny Padula

Meet Ginny Padula, Ginny Padula of Town & Country Design Studio beautifully embodies a transitional vibe—old world made modern. As an Architectural Digest-approved interior and editorial photographer, I focused on capturing the seamless blend of timeless craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. Through thoughtful composition and lighting, my photography highlights the curated balance of vintage charm and modern livability that defines Town & Country’s signature style.

“Tori really paid attention to what I was looking for and what I wanted to put out into the world. She pays attention and likes to know about the people who are”

Town & Country Design Studio, led by the talented Ginny Padula, is synonymous with refined, bespoke interiors that balance old-world charm with modern livability. With a design philosophy reminiscent of Jean Stoffer’s signature aesthetic, Ginny creates warm, welcoming spaces that evoke the inviting, cinematic feel of a Nancy Meyers film.

While Ginny’s work speaks volumes in person, the challenge was ensuring that the richness, warmth, and craftsmanship of her designs translated seamlessly into imagery. Ginny needed photography that not only documented her spaces but also conveyed their emotional depth—inviting viewers to imagine themselves in the heart of a beautifully designed kitchen, enjoying a slice of Bundt cake and a warm conversation.

The Approach: An Editorial Eye for Timeless Storytelling

As an Architectural Digest-approved interior and editorial photographer, I understood that capturing the essence of Ginny’s designs required more than just technical precision—it needed an editorial approach that highlighted her custom craftsmanship, curated materials, and sophisticated palette.

For our photoshoot, I focused on:

Natural Light & Warmth – By harnessing soft, natural light, I emphasized the warmth of wood tones and the inviting atmosphere of the spaces, ensuring a timeless, lived-in appeal.

Thoughtful Composition – Each shot was carefully composed to showcase Jenny’s attention to detail, from intricate cabinetry work to carefully styled vignettes that tell a story.

Editorial-Quality Imagery – Understanding what top design publications look for, I framed each image to highlight the seamless blend of vintage charm and modern sensibility that defines Town & Country Design Studio aesthetic.

Additionally, her work was showcased in a Rent.com blog feature, and Dakota Design Co. blog feature further amplifying her brand.
