.mostly, i enjoy photographing my children and the ideas for perfect photo shoots in my head usually involve a boy or two.
but photographing flowers can really be wonderful. they just sit there patiently while i click and click away. they are always agreeable and patient. they sit perfectly still while i put my aperture nice and wide
and focus in on each petal as i please.
so yeah, every once in a while it's nice to find a field of daisies to spend some time with.
it's been done a million times over: making flowers into art that is,
but it really never gets old or goes out of style.
.
it's freeing and refreshing. but of course, in the end i usually try to
corral one of my little guys into the field as well. can you blame me??

so lovely. photographing flowers (and nature in general) is one of my favourite things. it brings me a calm and peace like nothing else can.
ReplyDeleteI agree, photographing nature brings such a sense of peace. I love being able to hear nothing but the heavy click of my camera.
DeleteI have a bush of flowers in full bloom in my back flower bed and I've been thinking over and over again - I should take some photos. It's been SO long since I've reached outside the realm of 'Henry photography'. I love these - so you, and so beautiful (just like you).
ReplyDeleteAww Jenn you are so sweet!! :) :) I know what you mean about it being a long time without reaching outside the realm of photographing our own children!
DeleteYou are such a talented photographer. These are stunning! I usually prefer seeing people in photos but every now and again, nature comes along and reminds me it's pretty too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Joanna! Yes, I forget about photographing things other than people but sometimes I just love it! :)
Deletei never overtire of taking flower pictures, or pictures of my little boy! haha like two peas in a pod huh? ;)
ReplyDeleteexcept your pictures are AMAZING!
DeleteAww, thank you Anne! And yes, flowers + little boys - it doesn't get better than that really!
DeleteIt sure is nice to have a subject that doesn't move or lose patience for posing! But, just every once in a while. Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Courtney!
Deleteha! yes, flowers are bit more cooperative than children. the photography of these wild flowers are gorgeous, but your little boy is just as sweet a subject!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucinda!
DeleteThat's exactly why I take a lot of pictures of plants/flowers! My boys won't cooperate to save their lives, haha. But I can't resist them, either. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is nice that flowers are always cooperate - it's a nice contrast sometimes from wild little boys! :)
DeleteThese are great photos, Keep up the great work. I really enjoy planting and smelling flowers from my garden.
