So close to spring.

Every time I set up to photograph a new collection of books, I strive for something different.

I try to think about what the collection means.

What objects will enhance, but not distract from the books?

For this last collection, The Willow Collection, I wanted something that connected to nature,

but also to the illustrated bookplates.

. . .

With the recent wind storm, and some neighbors pruning their trees in preparation for spring,

there were many branches down.

I decided to use these in my shoot, and added some much needed leaves.

. . .

I’m very pleased with how the photographs turned out.

With each additional photo shoot, I find myself more and more excited to see the results.

I think I’ve finally found a system that works well for showcasing my work,

and still giving the customers as much detail as possible.

. . .

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

I’d love commentary or thoughts on this collection if you have any.

. . .
