Post overview

Our family made a room float for a photo! šŸŖ¼šŸ’™#CanonPartner Weeks of planning and building came down to this one moment 😳. For this photo, we wanted to capture a floating, underwater dream world in-camera, so we got to work! We decided to make jellyfish props that looked real on camera, so we did a bunch of research and brainstorming. We ended up doing a combination of hot glue, fiber optic lights, LED strips lights, and ribbon. It’s always the things you least expect that take the longest. In this case, it was searching for the perfect jellyfish shaped bowl. Once we found that, we spent nearly a week making and remaking the jellies until we got it right šŸ˜…. Once the set was finished, we had one chance to capture it because we were leaving on a two week trip the next day. Down to the wire! Eloise rested on the platform while Emma steered the bubbles, Oliver moved the jellyfish, Nick handled the leaf blower, and I captured it all with my @canonusa EOS R5 Mark II and RF24mmĀ F1.4Ā L VCM Lens. This is such a powerful duo! I can switch back and forth between videos and photos seamlessly during photoshoots now. This is so helpful when I am capturing behind the scenes as well as the final photo! I can’t believe how wellĀ Canon’s new RF L Series Hybrid lensesĀ can capture handheld video. I never use a gimbal anymore! šŸ“ø:Ā f/2.5, 1/250 seconds, 1600 ISO #CanonCreatorĀ  . . . . . . #photoshoot #behindthescenes #creative_portraits #creativephotography #magical #photographyart #photographytricks #photographylovers #lowlightphotography #creative #magicofchildhood #momsofinstagram #familyphotography

Just a couple of flower fairies adventuring through their very own magical forest 🄰🧚 we made these flower umbrellas in early April (it took over a week) and then waited patiently for the forest in our backyard to bloom 🌸 #CanonPartner 

For this photo, we made the flower umbrellas from scratch using clear umbrellas as a base. This process took way longer than expected šŸ˜… After our first failed attempt using felt, Nick came up with the idea to try to heat foam with our heat gun and shape them into petals. It was genius and worked so well! No matter how much we try to make our magic umbrellas light enough, they are always too heavy for Eloise šŸ˜‚ so Nick held it up for her, while Emma handled the lighting, I captured the moment, and the little ones pretended to be fairies. It’s a dream come true to have our own little slice of forest here at our home here in Vermont and we are forever grateful for it 🄹. We used practical effects like lights, costumes, our glowing flower umbrellas, and my new @canonusa EOS R8 to bring this moment to life! It handles low light incredibly well. I’m always impressed by the photos the #EOSR8 captures in dark conditions! It’s a gem of a camera! šŸ“ø: Canon EOS R8 and RF50mm F1.2 L lens: f/1.2, 1/400 sec, and 1250 ISO #CanonCreatorĀ
