FOTOS TUMBLR HOW TO
So that’s what rattled around in my head and it quickly led to me obsessing over how to find a way to combine the two. Cut to me in the Bahamas over thanksgiving and I couldn’t help but notice how a lot of the palm trees grew low out the ground and every one of them looked like an elephant head… to me anyway. I’ve been wanting to do something with an elephant for a while now, but two things happened with that, I never felt like I had a super solid idea and I don’t have access to elephants. enjoy your 128 pink and purple flowers ❤️. And in the spirit of bringing our seemingly divided world a little closer together, the bottom image was taken on my Sony A7r ii and the top image was taken on a Canon 5D mark III (thank you Sony + Canon… World peace doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s a step in the right direction.

It turns out flowers are far less symmetrical that I ever could’ve imagined. a few other notes… I went through 128 individual flowers to land on the one you see above. isla’s outfit is courtesy of but Target isn’t involved in this post so when I say “courtesy”, I mean they were courteous enough to stock those items so I could purchase them.

The combined images were taken at dusk on blue sky days, but with the help of a garden hose and some heavy shade we were able to transform it into a rainy day. this started with a handful of test shots a few weeks ago (which I’ll put up on (and a hand holding the flower version which lost in a vote)), but we took our sweet ass time tweaking it until we finally landed here. asking either of my kids to stand frozen for longer than a second is no easy task (especially right before bed), but my youngest was hell bent on making sure we got the shot… and I love that. I’m sure I’ve subjected them to worse modeling scenarios, but the little one definitely stepped up and made it happen… and the older one got behind the camera so I didn’t have to act like a contortionist for once. It’s April showers season, so here’s a spring inspired #combophoto, which my daughter’s were gracious enough to pitch in and help on. WARNING: buckle up, there’s a lot of words below.
