Maria & Erica
I have always had a place in my heart for arboretums.
When I was in high school, I used to hang out in Valley Forge National Park all the time. I love being outside and do about 95% of my shoots with natural lighting. So when Erica and I were looking for a place to shoot, I was shocked that I had never even heard of Tyler Arboretum !
Erica suggested we should shoot there and, let me tell you, I will DEFINITELY be going back to visit ! Tyler arboretum was beautiful ! The grounds were so expansive, the lighting was stunning, and the colors (even in the dead of winter) seemed to glow !
I met Erica and her sister, Maria, at the entrance to Tyler arboretum. We grabbed a bunch of outfits from the back of their car, and headed off to shoot. Maria told me she was a little nervous to start shooting, but after a few minutes (and help from Erica), we were all giggling and channeling our inner models.
We started shooting in this beautiful open field.It was right next to this greenhouse. Unfortunately, the door was locked, but we still snapped some photos outside
Maria liked this wonky little house, and I did too !
We moved deeper into the woods to take some portraits !
Off the path a little we found a little white house
I just love these two ! They were so much fun to shoot with !
After the little white house, we found THIS AMAZING FIELD !!!!!!
Erica was WORKING IT !!!!!!
And I am in LOVE with her blazer !
Maria had that model-wind. It was glooooooorious
Some hair flips for good measure !
Awwwwwwwwwwwww
Erica did a quick change into this STUNNING black dress with a beaded front
So fierce !
We explored a little bit further for some cozy portraits. I am absolutely obsessed with chunky scarves !
Aw ! Sisters !
I had such a great day with Maria & Erica. Tyler Arboretum is definitely on my new list of places to shoot !!! Thanks for the suggestion, Erica !
