Depth of Field in the Garden

it’s tulip season in my neck of the woods!

IMG_4514_web

i spent some quality time with the tulips in my garden yesterday.  during the course of the past year or so, i have been a little more intentional in photographing my flowers.  i’m over at focusing on life today sharing some back-to-basics with regards to aperture and depth of field.

making just a few adjustments has really helped me to create stronger images.  and best of all, they are images that help me to more accurately reflect what i see with my mind’s eye.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
