I had the pleasure of taking almost all the photos for our website. This was a job I tackled with great pleasure since amateur photography is one of my passions. I certainly had challenging moments. What’s the best background to showcase our bags of potatoes? How can I get rid of the sheen on our poly bags of potatoes? How DO you make carrots and lemons look interesting? Will both my sons ever smile in the same picture at the same time? And the list goes on!
I have crawled on my hands and knees through ice and snow to take macro pictures of blades of grass after an ice storm, balanced somewhat precariously on the top of bulk trucks to shoot different angles of potato equipment, almost gotten squashed by tractors as I tried to film an extreme close-up of planting equipment and of course I got very, very dirty sometimes wallowing through mucky fields. (Thank you to my yellow rubber boots!)
But by far the most exciting photo shoot was when I was offered a helicopter ride to take these aerial pictures of our farm! Helicopter door came off, camera came out and off I went! It was absolutely thrilling to see the farm from the air. It was a whole new perspective of the land we have farmed for so many years and I was delighted to have this unique opportunity.
