I have returned to my fine art photography lately and of course my most beloved subject is flowers. I started going through my past work with flowers and it was fun to see that no matter how many times I have photographed the same flower I seem to see it differently every time. I think it has a lot to say with what is going on in my life and how I am evolving and changing as an artist and a person. When I was taking the image above I knew that I wanted it to be light and airy by using white and keeping the aperture wide for softness, I had the technical side all figured out. It was when I started looking at the image and what I had been thinking about the day I took it that it hit me the meaning behind this image for me. That day is when my husband left for his business trip in Seattle and I had been thinking a lot about our family of 3 and how much I love the simplicity of that. I get a lot of flack about how I do not want to have anymore children. The one that I have is enough, I feel complete. Complete at three. That is what this image means for me. Three. Close. Family.
