Home Tour & Interview with Producer Dru Ammons

Today’s home tour segment features the charming family home of Dru Ammons, a producer for Brynn Creative production company as well as a blogger. I learned a lot about a career as a producer during our interview and I must say that it sounds like an exciting, fast-paced, and creative career. Get to know more about Dru Ammons while touring her lovely home below.
 

Jacquin: The production company Brynn Creative you work with sounds like a fantastic career. Can you share a a few details about your career as a producer? 

Dru: Production is such a specific field. We have all heard the word “producer” but not many know what it truly entails. I am the keeper of details, the coordinator, the problem solver and the executor of plans. I make sure all artists are confirmed for photo shoots, I handle location and/or studio details, work with the creative team on scheduling, and send out the shoot details. That is only a brief overview… since you guys don’t have all day to hear me babble, HA!

Jacquin: How was your experience decorating your home?
 
Dru: I am still in the process… is anyone ever done?! I think with life your needs change from time to time. Before having my daughter Olivia we had a plan to re-furnish several rooms and then the nursery took precedent. 😉 I really don’t have a particular style, but I know like unique pieces. I decorate a lot like I dress, whatever I feel that day is what happens. Now that Olivia is almost walking, that will bring on a whole new set of changes. No complaints here, I love a new challenge and new direction!
 
Jacquin: What is your favorite space in your home?
 
Dru: This is a tough question, I honestly have several but would have to say my daughter’s nursery. I think her little spirit has made that space the best in the house. I decorated the nursery (with help from all my family due to being on bed rest) before she was born and now that I look at it, it fits her perfectly. Her energy is contagious and reflected in her little world.

Jacquin: What is your favorite part about your career with Brynn Creative?
 
Dru: The amazing artists I work with. These people are the best in the world at their craft and I love learning and being inspired everyday. I also like that each job is a specific project There is a start and a finish to each project that I get to be a part of. 
 
Jacquin: What has been your favorite advertisement you produced so far?
 
Dru: My absolute favorite shoot was the CHANEL story we shot in my home town of Idalou, Texas. Seeing my life come full circle at that moment was insane. I never in a million years thought I would get to do what I love in the middle of a cotton field where I grew up. Another big plus was the photographer on the shoot was my dear friend Alistair Taylor Young, he’s brilliant! (See below for photos from this shoot.)

Jacquin: Do you travel from time to time for your clients? What has been your most memorable travel experience on-location for Brynn Creative so far?
 
Dru: Last year I had a week of on location shoots in the Dallas area and we shot at a home that had been fully restored and was over 100 years old. It was the most amazing home! You could feel the memories walking around. This shoot was for a company that sells dog treats so we had a new dog on set every hour! Dogs really are man’s best friend. It was such a wonderful experience to work with the animals while enjoying the history of the beautiful home. In addition, my brother was my Production Assistant for that week, which was fantastic. I had just found out I was pregnant and he made my job so much easier. It wasn’t the most extravagant shoot I have worked on, but it certainly had some of the most enjoyable elements! 
 
 
Jacquin: Since you’re a Texas native, I must ask what your top recommendations are for visiting the area?
 
Dru: I would visit my college town of Lubbock, TX in the Fall and experience a Texas Tech Football game, have a margarita at Chimy’s where I lived my glory days, and eat at Cagle Steaks where I worked during college. Also, definitley shop at CHROME, which is literally the best boutique you can imagine and they ship internationally!!! A few girls I went to college with are still the buyers there and they do an incredible job! Lubbuck, TX is the best city to just mosey around in the middle of nowhere!
