I recently watched a movie about Mary Shelley – the author of the book Frankenstein. In it, Shelley creates a character literally stitched together to be a human and the creature experiences great loneliness. In fact, he becomes a symbol for loneliness and is perceived as a monster. Sad, right? But it made me think about shorthand and symbols and what’s next for us this year. And I thought of something much, much lighter: spring.

I know, maybe it’s the daffodils that burst through first with such reckless optimism and hope on warm February days, but one of the symbols of spring for me are the blossoms that we photograph each year at our favorite orchards. I think of Easter, of blooms, of families, rebirth, sun and warmth and I always, always think of these orchards we love so much.

As the coming weeks bring warmer temps and longer days (March 10th begins daylight savings, gang), we will be scheduling outdoor portrait sessions in these orchards for newly engaged couples, families, Easter photos, and shots of friends and families who just want to celebrate a milestone or celebrate spring.

Pixels proudly wears the mantel of being the exclusive photographers and it’s time to start thinking about scheduling your session with us. Contact us and we’ll discuss the details.
