Okay, so I can't say I am the first photographer to do the old-furniture-in-nature-thing, but I can say as a mother myself and a lover-of-having-my-own-family-as-art hanging in my home, I would just adore to have a huge canvas of my family sitting on a super vintage-y old couch out in a field of dead grass hanging on my wall. Yeah, I said dead grass, and if you have spent any time with me you have probably heard me talk about fields of dead grass. I would probably opt for green ones with flowers, but those aren't as easy to come by here in the deserts of Tucson!
When I met with Kari at her pre-session meeting and we were discussing/designing her session for her family, she said she knew of a "farm" that the family liked to walk to and visit the horses and chickens. I was very excited at this idea, horses & chickens! Hooray - to go somewhere new and go somewhere outdoors - somewhere and someplace that this family enjoys doing together. So, I saw the opportunity to try the couch-in-nature thing, and when the couch-whisper-er lady at the consignment shop led me to my new love...the green love seat...the night before the session, the planets aligned and magic happened! At least I think so! :) Here is a sneak peek for Kari and Co. - thanks again for a great session - talk with you soon! ~M
