Shoot #2: Garden

Shoot 2 of 5: The garden is a classy place. I’m not talking about the kind where you grow your tomatoes, but more like the kind where you grow your roses. Below is the inspiration board I sent to the folks who helped me put this shoot together. A simple sort of glamour is what I wanted for the whole shoot to feel like and I think that’s what we got.

My photographer took the crew up to the Queen Anne neighborhood in the Seattle area and I think I found my dream place to live. Such gorgeous homes and gardens! The homeowners were nice enough to let us shoot on their front porches and in their yards. Such luck!
