Happy Monday! With fall family session season coming up soon, I thought it would be fun to share this Green Spring Gardens family photos session with you from this past spring!
ICONIC REHP
You probably remember Tika and her hubby from their iconic cherry blossoms maternity session in 2018, where I took one (OK, some) of my favorite photos ever! Since then I’ve gotten to take photos for her family five different times, including her mom’s headshots for her memoir. It’s always fun seeing them and getting to see how little John has grown the past few years.
PEONY SEASON
Tika reached out to schedule a spring session and I was excited to suggest Green Spring Gardens as the location. Since we’ve worked together a number of times already, I wanted to offer a different location than the ones we’ve visited before. And a garden seemed like the perfect fit for a spring session. Boy was I spot on there! The gardens were in full bloom and guess what?! It was peony season! There were some of the biggest, most vibrant, lush peonies I’ve ever seen in real life and I’m thrilled we got to showcase the in these Green Spring Gardens family photos.
SO DAPPER
As usual, Tika and her family showed up looking so put together and well coordinated. I’m obsessed with Tika’s dress and how it perfectly matched with the garden flowers that were in bloom at the time. And little John’s outfit was so adorable! It just cracked me up to see such a little person walking around looking so dapper. I think Tika even commented that he looked like he should be walking around with a mint julep as if he was at a derby! Those sunglasses? The hat? I can’t!
FALL 2021
I should mention – if you’re interested in scheduling a family session for this fall, make sure to reach out ASAP. Only a handful of spots remain.
