formaljuniper1small.jpgSometimes I berate myself for not taking more photos of my trees.  Mostly it is the photos before I started working on them that I miss, I remember the trees vaguely, but I always seem to forget to take a photo before any styling has happened.  It is only once I see that the tree will be something that I like that I start taking photos.

I’ve actually started taking photos professionally again which is something that I hadn’t been doing for the last three years.  The photos that I have been taking are simple, but I realized that the setup is perfect for my smaller trees.  I just slip them in there and snap a couple photos.  Hopefully these will inspire you and I will be able to look back on them in a few years as well.
