Our Story
A closer look changes everything.
A flower beside a path. A cluster of leaves in a neighborhood garden. A bloom we might otherwise walk past. These familiar sights are at the heart of Ted Howard Photography—a celebration of the extraordinary beauty growing around us.
Based in Roseville, California, photographer Ted Howard explores neighborhood gardens and shared landscapes across Northern California, especially the Greater Sacramento region. His close-up photographs reveal the details that reward a second look: folded petals, unexpected colors, intricate leaf patterns, and the shapes of developing buds.
His book, Northern California Blooms: Up Close and Beautiful, brings these observations together in an invitation to slow down and look more closely. From individual blossoms to generous clusters, sculptural plants, and leaves catching the light, each photograph celebrates the character of its subject.
Our book, calendars, greeting cards, and bookmarks offer ways to bring that beauty into everyday life—and share it with someone else. Behind every image is the same hope: that it encourages you to notice something new in the familiar places around you.
For everyone who pauses long enough to notice what is blooming nearby.
