Succulent Saturday - another photo shoot!

Greg Spalenka and his lovely wife, Roxana Villa are in town this weekend - primarily for the Chocolate and Artisan Fragrance Salon this weekend...

In a few hours of downtime today, we got together again for another photoshoot like we did in March -

This time we were in a tiny studio-condo...

(It was very entertaining seeing the contortions Greg went through to get interesting shots!)

Roxana was also on hand to give input- since a number of these shots are for her botanical fragrances...

There was some playing around and trying out the props-

(in this case, enormous elk antlers...)

(using the antlers in the actual shoot... Photoshop may or may not be involved in the outcome... :-)

Many different variations were tried..

A number of hours later, exhausted but happy, we called it a (lovely!) day...

Therrific Thursday - playing with photography

 I've begged my husband, the photographer, to teach me the ways of his fancy camera...

 (it's got a crazy macro-lens, don't you think?)

 I have some upcoming projects in mind that would benefit from the inclusion of some photo elements.

 And happily, this is a lovely time of year for plant samples.

 There was even sunshine to take advantage of.

And now to learn some photoshop effects to take these even further....

Home Again (part 1) - Steampunk LRRH

Am back from my stay in Utah - so many fun things done and seen! Not the least of which this photoshoot with one of the fairy-nieces - Steampunk Little Red Riding Hood:

(darling and perfect!)

Looking forward to seeing where this goes. :-)

And much more photo-reporting from the trip is forthcoming. Stay tuned.
