Tree Series Photography


I absolutely LOVE trees. I love the shape the color, the texture of them. Trees are all around us and they help us to survive and are just gorgeous to look at. This is why I have dedicated a Series to Trees. The first tree image I created was done for a contest that won of some notecards. I go to decide what I wanted printed on the fronts of these cards and I chose this tree image.
I love the vibrant colors that came out in this photo, the dark shape of the tree only enhances the image in my opinion. I have a total of nine images in my Tree series right now and intend to create many more.

Flower Series Photography

Flowers are just so beautiful and they are very easy to get great photos of. I have taken a few of the nice shots I've gotten of flowers and edited them up a bit to offer some interesting artistic flower prints. One of my favorites is of a Rose of Sharon that grows in my back yard.
I put a vibrant background behind the mostly pastel colors of the flower to give it more presence and to make it show up better. The vertical lines add a touch of modernization to a beautiful photo.

Due to the cold weather right now, I only have about 4 images in the flower series, but I intend to take a lot more once the weather begins to warm up and the flowers start blooming.

Farm Life Series Photography

Around Thanksgiving of 2009 I took a trip with my boyfriend to a farm that belongs to his family. I loved the look of the place and couldn't get enough pictures of all the interesting things that were there. One of my favorites was of this old tractor that had been sitting unused for so long that I tree grew around it.
I added a few things to this image after taking it, such as the moon, the sepia tone and the lighting. I thouroughly enjoyed taking images at this location and hope to go back sometime and get some more. I have a total of 9 images that I took here and edited, each one has it's own unique charm.

ABC Photography Series

I have some images that I find beautiful and interesting that don't seem to fit into a specific series. I call these random images. The first one I listed under this heading was my image Between a Rock and a Hard Place. The second image was this one below which I titled Approaching Dusk:
After naming this piece I realized that I had the first two letters of the alphabet, therefore I decided to create the ABC series, where I have an image title for each letter of the alphabet. I have only gotten 4 so far, and I'm not real sure what will happen when I get to a few of the oddball letters like Q and Z. If you are interested in looking at the ABC Series, then click the image below and you will be taken to the gallery where these are located.
