Working a few months ahead is just all part of the game with my job.  While you’re dressing up for Halloween, I’m just wrapping up plans for Christmas photo shoots and while you’re thinking about Valentines, I’ve got Spring and Easter on the brain!  Enter Pinterest.  I love perusing this website for ideas and inspriation when I’m planning for photo sessions.

Sometimes I’ve got the idea nailed before I even start cutting or painting.  Other times the concept comes together while I’m working on it.  This is going to be one of those times!  I’ve been so inspired by the spring branches and baby blossoms, that I somehow want to incorporate that into my next backdrop, but I’m not exactly how it will all come together.  This week I’ll be gathering branches and stocking up on the spray paint.  If you want to see the progress, follow me on Twitter and Instagram (username: kristineldridge)!

Oh and in other news, I’ve been loving my new Wacom Bamboo Tablet.  There is a bit of a learning curve (hello shaking handwriting) but it’s so much fun to incorporate into blog posts!
