After I have taken all of these photographs, the big question is what to do with them. I have found Zazzle to be a wonderful venue to use to display my flower photos on a wide array of products. This way I can enjoy them all year long.
Zazzle Pillows
This beautiful Iris photo is one that I took at the Missouri Botanical Garden. It is a reversible pillow with a different photo on each side. I like to put a close up on one side and a zoomed out view on the reverse side. This photo is a 16x16 size but it can also be made in several other sizes. The Zazzle pillows have a zipper on the side for easy cleaning and are made in the USA and machine washable. What a wonderful way to display your flower photos!
Greeting Cards
Zazzle greeting cards are a great way to share your photos with others. They come in three sizes, the standard 5x7 or 7x5, a smaller notecard, or if you prefer a large 8.5 x 11 card. The card below shows primroses from my garden.

Flower Photography Tips
- Photograph from Various Angles
- Get Down at the Same Level as the Flower
- Try a Closeup Shot and then a zoomed out shot of the same flower
- Flowers photograph best in the early morning hours or just before or after sunset
- Cloudy days are also great times to photograph flowers
In addition to the pillows and greeting cards, Zazzle has hundreds of ways to display your flower photos. Here are a few more that I used on my photographs.

Spring flowers are always so beautiful! I think they are especially pretty because they are often the first signs of life in nature after a long, cold winter. I love that pillow! What a beautiful way to bring the flowers inside our homes as a permanent part of our decor.
ReplyDeleteWas just saying to mom, my kids and my hubby how much I love flowers - love the flowers you featured here too, gorgeous. I know people who say 'don't ever buy me flowers...I'm like...'whatttt???' they say ...because they die (well so I say! lol...get more, the supply is endless) - or better yet, they could get lovely flowers like this featured on products and cards instead
