Botanical gardens, hot models, and fab photographers...

Hartley Botanica is, by far, one of the BEST venues we have ever shot at. The opportunities for beautiful photos are endless and the atmosphere serene. We asked Barbara if we could organize a model shoot that could double as a promotional for Hartley. After a few months of planning, date changes, and people changes, we pulled it off!

Thank you to everyone who made this day absolutely fabulous...Andrew and Louise, Loryn, Melanie, Verenice, David, and Susie! We had so much fun for a Monday!

Andrew and Louise have been together for 1 year and 10 months tomorrow (He pointed that out!). They are such a cute couple! And any man who can pose for wedding photos without even being engaged is a keeper!

Doesn't Loryn look a little like a Caribbean princess? While she may look seductive, she's a total ham!

Melanie is actually my 16 year old cousin. She wants to get into modeling and just happened to be here visiting from Maryland. This was her first photo shoot...or so she says. She was an absolute pro today!

Thank you Susie Nino for the gorgeous hair and make-up! We know it was a lot of work for one person and you rocked! Again, thank you to our fabulous new friends and a HUGE thank you to Hartley Botanica for inviting us to enjoy their beautiful gardens!
