Yesterday was an extremely stressful day. And craziness seemed to be coming from all directions.
But once I'd put the kiddies to bed, I decided the best way to relax, to release all that stress, was to shoot.
So I set up a new backdrop that had just arrived from overseas. I set up different configurations of vases, flowers, fabric, chairs and other decor, until I found one that said "serenity."
It took a few tries. The following image was nice, but didn't quite express the mood I was going for:
But once I shot the following photograph, I knew I was done. It was the last image I shot.
Here -- the softeness of the tulle fabric, the muted tones of the backdrop, the single flower, and the antique vase -- everything works together to create a calming image I want to keep looking at, to dive into even.
I've now set it as my backdrop. So that as I work on my computer, I can take breaks, minimize any open windows, and just relax.
This coming fall, I will be launching a line of greeting cards. I'm sure this soft photograph will ultimately serve as one of the featured images in my collection.
Have a great, relaxing week.

Best,
