Sunny

Selecting the perfect flower is such a joyous process for me. Whether I’m in the garden or at the farmer’s market, I get to enjoy a sea of beautiful flowers. But the magic happens when I look at each bloom individually and single out the ones that have the most interesting characteristics. Each one has, like this sunny summer dahlia, a unique personality, and my macro lens allows me to explore the nuances of shapes, patterns, colors and textures as I create a portrait to capture the flower as it exists in this one moment.
