We photographed in the late afternoon – my favorite time – because the sun is muted, soft and flattering for portraits. And here are some sneak peeks from our wonderful afternoon photo session ~

Shall we say a personal project on the side. The weather was perfect – sunshine and 80s, with a little breeze blowing through. Without further ado, here are some of my favorite photos from our trip to the gardens …
