Continue ShoppingDon’t you think it’s a little weird that our kids have been in thousands more photos than we were but have less to show for it? Although never professing to be a photographer, we sure had to think about our 20 shots before taking the roll to the developer didn’t we? Sure, the ease and accessibility of phones with cameras have been both a curse and blessing, we can all agree that the ability to make more pictures hasn’t necessarily made BETTER pictures. Even the use of post editing products still requires a discerning touch.
Photography as an art form is different than just recording a moment. Really good photographers have a way of capturing an essence. Using composition not to merely frame the physical but to bring it to a new level. To view their work is as much emotion as visual. There are a number of great photographers across this country. We are fortunate enough to have many right around us, including one special person, Paige, who we work with on our farm.
Your first glimpse of Slow On Sundays Instagram posts gives great insight into the person behind the camera. Shots of her own two littles, mostly in wild, natural settings being playful or just investigating what lies before them. Paige’s bio says she believes in finding the meaning in all moments, big or small. And it shows in her work. Oh, and you have been staring at her work for the last week. Paige took all the product shots for us for the 24 Days of Giveaways.
Our Day 7 giveaway is a really fun one. The Cut Your Own Garden at Stems is a great place to have pictures taken. An acre in size, displaying dozens and dozens of varieties of flowers in a rainbow of colours. Paige will showcase her considerable talents here at Stems Flower Farm where we will host a photo session in our Cut Your Own Garden. Imagine the memories you can capture with Paige’s keen eye and thousands of gorgeous blooms as your backdrop. Day 7 of our 24 Days of Giveaways is a Photo Shoot from Slow On Sundays in our very own field of dreams. And yes, in 2022 we will take photographer bookings.

The best moment where I had a video camera was a simple one…my twins playing, not aware I was there behind the door…just cracking jokes trying to make the other laugh the hardest. Now that they’re teens this happens less often then I would like.

This one is hard. I think as a parent, we all want to eternalize those beautiful memories, but also be present for them. So many of those moments come and go so fast with a child, sometimes they’re impossible to capture.

I have a terrible memory so anything caught on camera is beneficial to me! Years ago I went on a road trip with my pup through a bunch of the states. Each state is so unique to the next and I was able to capture some lovely memories along the way. All the beautiful landscape was amazing but I think one of my favourite memories was walking out on a long path to a light house and having to run all the way back because my dog decided he needed to take a poop once we got to the end!

My favourite piece of camera equipment is “portrait mode” on my phone. Makes all of those “armload of flowers” (that I say I’m going to take and rarely do) so much easier, because it blurs out the background filled with dirty flower buckets and rotting zucchini :D :D :D
