To be adored. Humbling while at the same time elevating, adoration, and love are emotions that make life so endlessly beautiful. An array of fluffy, pastel peonies mixed with ethereal iris. All at different stages of opening, set against a shadowed background to enhance their rich colors. An ode to adoration, this fine art photograph is part of a numbered edition of 175 in each size. The 16 x 20 inches and 18 x 24 inches will have a Certificate of Authenticity signed, numbered, dated, and embossed with an artist seal. This floral art print is also available in 8x10 inches for smaller spaces. All my flower photographs are printed on Giclée museum quality paper, allowing the photography to come to life with vivid color and detail so that one can experience the art at the highest level. Life was always meant to have romance; it is a gift to create these romantic moments to treasure as the years go by.

  "In vain, I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." - Jane Austen

  I love you. 
  I appreciate you.
  I value your heart.
  Your smile makes my heart flutter.
  I cherish you.

  How often do we let these words slip through our fingertips? Leaving sweet whispers unspoken, not showing up for the ones we hold dear. Romance is not only meant for lovers but for all who touch our souls. Flowers are messengers of time. The fleeting nature of it, the way it ebbs and flows. We arrange them just so to hold a moment in time within our hands. I go a step further, photographing to remember as time continues on.

  As our society grows and shifts, there is a lapse in recognizing how short our time on this little blue planet is. A sense that we can wait until tomorrow to express our hearts. That we can look away when we should be looking up at one another. Lost in one another's lingering gaze. Peonies are a love story in the way they bloom. Their petals tightly knit, slowly opening as the sun and time leave kisses in their wake. An unfurling and collapse into the surrender of love. Witnessing this allows our hearts to find the courage to open. To be present for the ephemeral beauty of another. May we love in the language of flowers.
