A walk in a spring park

Nothing special today:) Just several pictures of our spring :)

Well... In our place, it's always spring comes after fall :) I know there is winter by calender, but it's not a real winter with snow and cold as I got used to in my mother country :)

Fall berries on the bushes are still hanging while new flowers are beginning to bloom.

Dahlia Flowers Show in San Francisco

Last Sunday, my husband and I almost accidentally got to dahlia show that was taken place in Golden Gate park in San Francisco :). The show is usually conducted by Dahlia Society of California once in a year if I remember correctly. Well... I'm writing a little today because there is no words to explain how beautiful these dahlias:) I'm simply sharing pictures of dahlia flowers with small comments :)

California Flowers in Bloom

No big story today... Just photographs of beautiful California flowers in Bloom which inspire me for love...

Spring is on its way

It's still February, but trees are blooming in Northern California... Well... not everywhere, but at least in my place :)


I like to walk around and smell plum and almond flowers. This tart but yet sweet aroma really means for me that spring is coming. Also, I like the blooming flowers because they really well come out on pictures. It's pretty much difficult to take a good picture of them because they are very light and tender. But on the other hands, this challenge is good for me... I'm improving my skills :)

Also, this time I tried new style of photo editing - kinda cross processing. Well... I think it came not bad out for first time. :) What do you think?

You can find bigger size in my IrinaPhotography shop

Violet Tulip blank note card

The story of the images are very simple. One lady has found my photographs in Internet and liked them. She asked me to make a custom order for her. It was first experience for me to take custom photos. Well, I was pretty free to take pics that I want, but anyway... FIRST CUSTOM ORDER!!! I was excited.

So the lady had a frame for 5 photos and lilac colored walls where the frame will be hanged. My job was to come up with something what fits to the frame and wall. At first, she wanted just 5 different flower photographs, but my idea was to make "One Flower Story." She believed me, and here we go! That's what I came up with. :)

After the project was done, I decided to turn the photographs into blank folded note cards. I believe they will be great additions to any gift. :) So this is a first note card from "One Tulip story" series. It's available in IrinaPhotography store.

Still life Photographs

I'm crazy about taking still life pictures. If you ask me why, I don't know the answer. :) I just like it. I like the process of installation of composition, of setting light, and especially post-processing. The whole process is like creation art for me. And I'm excited! So here I want to share my several recent works.

Paper life
I made the origami flowers on my own. I spent three days for making them and hated them eventually.-) But anyway, I think the picture came out pretty good.-)



The title of the photograph is Good Morning!
Why? Maybe because it was taken in the morning... or because of the bright yellow color. I don't know...-) I just have strong feeling that the picture should be titled so. :)




This is a series of.. ha-ha... two pictures. Lilies...
Gorgeous and very photogenic flowers. But should keep them away from bedroom.:) Smell is good, but can be a cause of headache. :) I had headache.





Flowers' Relations.
This one was a little bit new for me. I've never done still life in vintage style. I guess it looks pretty good. :)

Frozen Lily

Lilies are gorgeous!
