When we met to talk about the shoot details, I told her that I also wanted to make a fine art portrait from her shoot and what ideas I had for it. This is my sister's first baby, but her husband has two sweet birdies from a previous relationship and I really wanted to incorporate that somehow.
As I was lying in bed one night, the idea of little Baby Bryce "joining the nest" popped into my head. I thought of having two eggs already in a nest - one blue egg for his little boy birdie and one pink egg for his little girl birdie. Mary would delicately place her one blue egg, representing the little unborn Baby Bryce, into the nest held up to her by her husband to join his big brother and sister. As usual, I wanted the scene to have a dreamy, fantasy atmosphere - hence the clouds and dragonflies.
What a sweet little family. Maybe it's the time and effort that went into this - or maybe it's the fact that it's my sister in the photo - but whatever it is, looking at this piece makes me smile. So much love.
