Three Posts in One!

I've got lots to write about this evening! 

1. First of all, I'm leaving tomorrow and heading to Minneapolis for the Twin Cities Sessions!  I'm looking forward to working with all the great people involved.  I'll be shooting appointments on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and it is supposed to be in the 40s!  To me this is like summer compared to the weather we've been having so far!  So I am looking forward to being OUTSIDE hopefully and getting some awesome outdoor shots.  As usual, while I am away on these sessions I will not be checking/returning e-mails regularly so if you don't hear from me right away that is the reason.  I'll return all e-mails when I'm back in my office on Monday.

2. Speaking of nice weather, I went outside this morning to find a beautiful, clear, WARM day (20 above and no wind) and I just had to take a quick picture.  The sun was so incredibly bright and the contrast of the blue sky against the snow was amazing.  I rarely take pictures for myself anymore so I just HAD to share this one....

3.  And last, but not least, I was so excited to start getting some e-mails in response to my post Photos into Art.   Christine sent me a picture of this beautiful collage frame in her home, with photographs from the session I did with her daughters Claire and Emma back in December.  It looks great, and what a classic way to display black and white photos!  I love it.  Keep 'em coming!

Photos into Art

It's rare that I get to see my photographs in their finished form, on display in a client's home.  Even when I return to take their pictures again and glance up to see one of my photographs in a beautiful frame or collage, I'm too busy concentrating on taking pictures that I really don't get much else than a glance.  Yet I'm always curious to see how so many people turn my photographs into art--something I don't often get a chance to do myself.

Luckily, photographer Mandy Birdwell, who I had the pleasure of working with last fall, posted on her blog recently about what she did with my photographs.  With her permission, I am posting the pictures she took of MY pictures, which she had printed on beautiful canvas and arranged as a collage. 

This all made me think of something I was actually considering for some time.  I'd like to occasionally do a "Photos into Art" post; showcasing how clients display my photographs.  I'm either going to remind myself to take a couple shots the next time I'm at a repeat client's home, or request of YOU to send me some!  If you are a client who would like to submit a photo of something interesting you did with my pictures, please e-mail me at meganphoto@gmail.com and you could see your picture on my blog and, of course, receive something in return!  It truly is rewarding to see my images where they were always meant to be!
