Brand guidelines, autumn 2026
Love & Luck
Ranch
A private ranch in the Southern Oregon hills.
Est. Jacksonville, Oregon
The idea
An heirloom, not a trend
Love & Luck Ranch should feel like a place that has always been here and always will be: a family ranch where the linens are pressed, the fire is laid before you arrive, and the wine was chosen by someone who knows the winemaker by name.
Forty-two acres of oak, pine, and golden grass. Weathered wood and fine glassware, denim and candlelight, wild land and quiet service. Nothing is loud. Nothing is new for the sake of new. Everything is chosen.
Principles
How the ranch carries itself
Quiet over loud
Restraint signals confidence. One strong image, one line of type, generous space. If a layout feels full, remove something.
Heritage over hype
Speak of the land, its history, the seasons, and the people who work it. No trends, slang, or exclamation points.
Invitation over availability
The ranch is a membership property with a limited number of public experiences each season. Guests are welcomed in; they never simply “book a night.”
The wild, tended
Nature is the star, always framed by human care: a lantern on the path, a blanket on the grass, a glass poured at golden hour.
Color
Taken from the land
Tent canvas and dry grass, barrel oak and madrone bark, oak moss, and the blue-black of a Moonridge night.
Let the lights dominate. Tent canvas as the ground makes every composition feel airy and considered.
One hero per piece. Barrel oak is the signature; use it once, and add golden hour only as a small highlight.
Never pure black or white. Saddle carries all text on light grounds; tent canvas on dark ones.
Save the night. Moonridge dusk is reserved for evening events, invitations, and anything marked limited. No more than three palette colors in one post.
Typography
Literary, unhurried
Cormorant Garamond carries headlines and short statements. PT Serif carries everything you read at length, continuing the ranch’s wine-ledger materials. Headlines sit in sentence case with plenty of air. Never stretch, outline, or shadow type.

The mark
Set in type, sealed by hand
The wordmark is Love & Luck Ranch in Cormorant Garamond, with an italic ampersand given room to breathe. The round monogram serves as the seal for tent tags, wax seals, stamps, and the Instagram avatar. Until a final mark is drawn, always set the wordmark in type rather than improvising a graphic.
Photography
Lit by the sun or by fire
Every image should look as though it belongs in a printed book about the American West: warm, unhurried, and deliberately framed.
Always
- Shoot at golden hour and blue hour
- Show the place, the ritual, and the wild in every set
- Let people appear as guests in the frame, never posing for it
- Warm the white balance, soften blues and greens, lift the shadows
- Apply one preset to every image
Never
- Midday snapshots or tilted, accidental angles
- Dashboards, plastic, clutter, or harsh flash
- Heavy filters, HDR, vignettes, or borders
- Screenshots or text-heavy graphics
- The street address, in any image or caption
Images shown are taken from the current feed at screen resolution. Replace with original files for print or large web use.
Voice
A host on the porch
Warm, knowing, and in no hurry. Short sentences and concrete nouns. Name the tent, the wine, the tree, the hour. The voice is Heather’s own, refined but never polished into something generic.
| Instead of | Write |
|---|---|
| Book your glamping getaway now! | Four tents in the oaks. Limited dates this autumn. |
| Amazing live music this Saturday!! | Songwriters at the Lucky Horseshoe. Saturday, after dark. |
| Come taste great local wine | A bottle from a neighbor’s vineyard, poured at golden hour. |
| Our cute tents have everything you need | Pressed linens, a laid fire, and nothing you didn’t ask for. |
“The madrones turn copper this time of year. Dinner is under the oaks on Friday; a few places remain at the table.”
Stay, Savor, Wild
Three pillars rotate so no two neighbors share a subject, and every row holds a place, an experience, and a moment of nature. Text tiles appear two or three times per screen.
StaySavorWildSavorWildStay
WildStay
Tents, the lodge, the Caravel, and the details of arrival: linens, lanterns, a welcome note.
Savor
Wine, the Tall Pines Asado, boards and dinners, and music at the Lucky Horseshoe.
Wild
Wildlife, trails, the Oak Meadows, horses, skies, and the seasons turning.
Post three to four times a week, with stories daily in season. Keep captions to one to three sentences and no more than five hashtags. A quiet week is better than an off-brand post.
House rules
Always, without exception
- Call the property Love & Luck Ranch. Never publish the street address.
- Tag the location as Jacksonville, Oregon or Southern Oregon.
- Never use the phrase “under canvas.”
- Use proper place names: the Lucky Horseshoe, the Tall Pines Asado, the Oak Meadows, and each tent by name.
- Speak of members, evenings, and limited dates, never of open availability.
- When in doubt, remove one thing.
