Lately I've been drawn to images of people and plants together. Of course, seeing botanicals in their environment is always inspiring, but seeing them used as props is actually delightful. Here's a collection of my favorites so far. Whether just for fun or for marketing purposes, utilizing leaves to style a photo can add both interest and intrigue. Next time you're looking for a whimsical photo with friends or need an interesting set detail grab a palm frond or an interesting bloom and snap away.

Out And About: Big Daddy's Antiques
One of the home goods stores I've really wanted to visit ever since we returned to the Bay Area was Big Daddy's Antiques. Last week, I finally had the opportunity to experience this amazing retail destination. Walking through it, one feels as though a theatrical event just wrapped up or is about to happen. Surrounded by unique vintage finds, large scale lighting, cooing doves and dramatically displayed merchandise, one is totally transported to an artfully curated, timeless space. Take a look at some of the visual impressions Big Daddy's Antiques left me with:
