Holiday Ordering Deadline

As I write this, and glance at my calendar, I find it hard to believe Christmas is just six weeks away. I can say with confidence that this year has been a doozy - for everyone. With Covid cases rising exponentially in Colorado, my mind is on the holidays, but more in terms of thinking about what won’t happen, who we won’t see, and will my family still be well when it arrives.

With all these things in mind, I chose the images currently listed in my Holiday Sale with the goal of spreading happiness. The images, especially the Hummingbirds, make me smile. The warmth and wonder of the outdoors is what I want to share with you this season, giving us all the opportunity to bring the outdoors inside. To keep our minds healthy and happy during the winter months - and beyond.

Metal prints are stunning. I prefer this medium to framed prints, as there is no barrier between you and the subject. When you walk up to view one of my metal prints, you will feel submersed in the scene. There is no glass, no frame and you can touch a metal print - they are easy to clean after. The design provides depth, as the float-mount hanger pushes the print about 1/2 an inch out from the wall. They are lightweight, easy to hang and brighten every space. The only downside to the prints is they take time to make and ship - about two weeks, to be exact.

To ensure Christmas delivery, with my Free Shipping offer, the order cut off is December 10th. I can rush orders after this date, but that will require expedited services, such as 2nd Day and Next Day Air (these services will be available starting December 11th).

I’m grateful to be able to share my work with you, and will be honored to have you as a customer. The love and care nature provided me this year will translate effortlessly into any space with these prints. I believe you’ll feel the love, too.

Please join me in spreading cheer that will last long after Christmas. Shop the Holiday Sale now.

How Will My Print Look On A Wall?

I’m going to tell you a little secret… I’m spatially challenged. I’m a visual person, but throw some math in there and I’m lost.

Typically, before I buy something like furniture or art prints, I will measure my space…then measure it again. I don’t know if you’re like me, but if so, I thought this size comparison would help when you try and visualize my photography on your wall.

I hope this helps when you go to purchase wall art from me, or anyone else!

Right about the time this image came together, I needed to leave the house and get my son, who I lovingly call The Boss. I fired off about five shots and thought, "If they don't work out, I'll recreate this set up tomorrow." Best laid plans. 

When I purchased the sunflowers yesterday, it was 20 degrees outside. Although the trip from the grocery store to my car was brief, as was the trip into my house once home, I think the cold may have zapped the flowers a bit. When I realized last night, during post-processing, that a few things were wrong in my image, I decided to use my backup plan and reshoot. But this morning, when I went to set up, my sunflowers looked limp and really unhappy. Try as I may, I could not recreate my original image. 

Photography can be a fickle mistress. But...I love this image too much not to share it. Even though there are a few technical issues, I still love the duality of beautiful and fierce, and the way the sunflower stem guides the eye. Since it's not destined for my Macro portfolio page, I'll give it life here on the Blog.
