What better way to start out the very first day of a brand new year than by shooting a picture you really love?! Truth be told I got so many lovely photos from this shoot. I adore shooting silhouettes too, just don't get to do it too often. When the mother-to-be sparked the idea I jumped at it.
Turns out the idea of silhouettes has been around since the 17th century. Yes, I did a little research...
"Silhouette" took its name from the French Minister of Finance, Etienne de Silhouette (1709-1767). It was his hobby to cut profiles from black paper.
So Happy New Year to all and to all a good life! May we all be as creative and joyful as we desire in any endeavor we embark upon.
