Bright Cheery Cutting Garden Zinnias

As summer has officially come to an end, and fall is here, there are a few blossoms that are still putting on a show. These cheery cutting garden zinnias seem to last long into autumn and I’m definitely not sad about that!

My last few posts have been pretty dark and moody. So I thought it would be nice to go in the opposite direction and show some gorgeous cutting garden zinnias. Using a white foundation from Medium boards and some natural linen pieces from Made on 23rd, these zinnias really pop in these still life images! Bright, soft window light and a few props keep the frame simple and uncluttered allowing your eyes to go right to those gorgeous zinnias. I'll be so glum when they are finished blooming. But you can bet they will be in my cutting flower garden again next year! These are some of the tall zinnias from seeds I purchased from Floret.  Aren’t they gorgeous subjects for these still life images?

Here’s a short video I created on prepping and planting my cutting garden. Each year it seems to look a little different, but there are always lots of subjects for my photography. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of my garden. If you’d like to see more of my content on YouTube, please Subscribe.

This is how it all gets started. I’ll be be prepping my garden next spring once again to have an abundance of subjects for my still life photography.
