When I came back from the SNAP! Conference last Sunday night, there was a gorgeous flower arrangement waiting for me. Was it from Handsome Hubby because he was missing the gift that is my presence for 5 days...?
Nope! It was from the lovely people at FTD who have teamed up with Better Homes and Gardens to create a line of beautiful florals and green plants for the home.

Men. Non-Bloggers. Male Non-Bloggers...
Here are the photos he took for me.

| Beautiful (poorly lit) flowers... and keys, dishtowels, his watch, phones, pencils, receipts, paperwork, all sorts of everyday household counter-top clutter, and a pile of laundry. Nicely staged, dear! |
I didn't think to tell him to "stage" the flowers, and to his credit, he realized there were several, um, distracting elements in his first photo... He did take another one....
 |
| Much better photo composition! (We'll work on lighting and flash photography later...;) |
Now I very easily could have NOT shown you the photos that were taken the first day the flowers arrived and just used the ones I took 5 days later...
Perhaps that the flowers that were photographed on a Wednesday evening still look amazing on a Monday morning? I can't tell you how impressed that I am with the quality of these flowers.

Hilarious!!!!!! I have never had my husband take pictures of things that had to be staged but he does take pictures of me using tools and such. It took awhile before he didn't cut off my head or part of the tool. Very cute post :)

He gets credit for 'keepin' it real'.
And yes, the flowers are lovely and look just as lovely in a real kitchen.
What beautiful flowers!! I sent flowers to my MIL and jewelry to my Mom.
FTD sent my order too

I like the look of flowers that have been out a few days. They are much fuller and heavier.
And my husband will never understand the way I will take photos for the blog. " Who cares? It's a bracelet. Why do you have to put it by the window in perfect light for strangers to see?"
Hello VIV- Beautiful flower arrangement. I love fresh flowers. It was so great to meet you at SNAP...... BUT OH' SNAP I wish I would of gotten a pic. with you and chatted more. NEXT TIME. hugs, jen
OK' SERIOUSLY THAT IS HILARIOUS! My hubby would totally do the same, but there would be toys and bottles I AM SURE Of it in the background. Its a total man thing. Your collage however is gorg. xo
That is my hubs to a T! I dread asking him to take any pictures because he doesn't notice things like I do. The flowers are gorgeous though! Love the bouquet!
That is one benefit to being a pro photographer-- my husband has now seen me do enough shoots and heard me say enough stuff about pictures that he is actually getting a lot better- but yea he still needs help sometimes.
And that store in the most recent post was that Tai Pan??
