Photo: Aliens Have Come To Study Us

Back in the fall, we experimented with taking lollipops outdoors for photoshoots in natural light. One of our all time favorite pictures resulted from this day:

three lollipops with green leaves in the background and a white flower in the foreground

Three lollipops loom in the background, studying with great interest the soft-focused flower in the foreground. Lush green leaves curl in and out of the afternoon shadows.

This photoshoot was totally spur-of-the-moment, and I didn’t have any fresh lollipops ready for it. Not only does this trio of lollipops have a color scheme we don’t use in any of our collections, the pops themselves are old and wrinkly from sitting around in their bags for a long time. You’ll never see this photo in our Etsy store, but we still thought it was quite interesting enough to share here.

  1. I love this photo, and I don't think I noticed the age of the lollipops till read about it here.

  2. Thanks Stella! I love this picture too. But it's funny how "bad" I think these lollipops look, because I look at lollipops pretty much every day and am hyper attuned to every nuance of their appearance :-)
