Collab # 23
One of the one things I miss about life before covid… besides everything… is coffee. My anxiety took a hit. My kids deserved a better mom. So I quit drinking regular coffee. That being said, I still love it and the smell of it. I bid for a collab with Wildflower Farms because she was looking for something specific and I was excited about it.
What did she want? Cows. My neighbors have cows! They gather in the bottom of the valley in the evenings and it’s just beautiful! We talked about her vision. I suggested making it like a breakfast with coffee. Then she told me she makes granola too. I can only imagine what her kitchen smells like.
The day we signed the contract about this collab I didn’t see the cows. In fact. I didn’t see them for almost 3 weeks.
I took some shots in the morning on our porch with the coffee and granola. Then my brother came over in the evening. He had lots of experience working for a large coffee chain… and a lot of personal experience making himself snobby coffee. We are talking grinding beans. Pour over. Cold brew. Chemex. I don’t know what most of it means… but I like a dark strong coffee.
Anyway. Back to the cows. Frantically, I messaged a friend whose family owns a dairy farm because I still had not seen a single cow in the meadow. Her family was ok with us coming and photographing. So off we went. We photographed with my brothers fancy coffee carafe and got the job done.
As we were driving back down the road to the house… you know… there were cows all over the meadow I was planning to shoot in front of. Well played cows. Well played.
Ladies, My brother is single. He’s helped out on a few shoots lately. I think it’s more to play with my kiddos 😊
I almost forgot. The granola is gone. It was delicious.
