The Season For Peonies

Every spring I look forward to photographing peonies in a still life. This year I decided to do something different. I attended a Peony Floral Class at The London Plane with my sweet friend, Kristen, who is also an avid photographer. It was nice to share the mutual understanding of needing to photograph everything in sight. 

There was a plethora of peonies in different colors and phases in bloom to choose from. We learned how to make a floral arrangement. First starting with a color theme, building a foundation with foliage, using peonies as the main flower and then adding accent flowers. Sounds easy enough but much harder to do and even harder to achieve the perfectly imperfect wild look. 

I forgot to bring my camera with me and ended up using my iPhone. I took a lot more photos that I wanted to share here however I lost them all while trying to backup my photos. I was able to salvage this photo I sent to my sisters.
