“You are the poem I dreamed of writing. The masterpiece I longed to paint.. you are the shining star I reached for in my ever hopeful quest for life fulfilled. You are my child. Now with all things, I am blessed.”

Current obsessions… Mommy + Me sessions and GREENHOUSES!!! Or Mommy + Me sessions IN greenhouses. I’ll take either but prefer both. I just can’t get enough. I love capturing Mamas loving on those sweet babies.

This past week I took a road trip up to Tennessee to visit some friends and family. It ended up being a really rainy week and almost every where I wanted to photograph was flooded. If you’re from Northwest Tennessee, you understand. It rains for a day and everything is under water. If you know me at all you KNOW that I’m the type of person that needs to be doing something.. I get severe cabin fever if I’m stuck in the house more than a day. So I decided to get in the car and just drive and see where I ended up.

I live in Florida and we have already been seeing 75-80 degree days and it’s not even spring yet so you can image how I was feeling with these cold, rainy days. I longed for warmth and color.. greenery.. plants.. flowers. What’s better than a greenhouse? I ended up going to Soleil Garden Center in Union City, TN and let me tell you… it did NOT disappoint.

Upon arrival, I thought I would capture my daughter exploring the grounds of the garden center and we would check out their shop after, which by the way is basically a “Fixer Upper” dreamland. OHH EMMM GEEE! Okay, so I’m basically obsessed with this place. While I was there I discovered the most BREATHTAKING greenhouses I have ever seen IN. MY. LIFE.! I knew immediately that I had to shoot a session there so I spoke with the owner and thankfully he welcomed me and this sweet Mama and her baby girl with open arms! The staff was so amazing..  I just can’t say enough great things about this place.

Thank you, Soleil Garden Center for welcoming us with open arms and allowing us to shoot in your breathtaking greenhouses. You guys ROCK!

Jessica and Reagan.. thank you for taking the time to allow me to capture a glimpse of your love for one another and for going along with my crazy idea. I’m so glad you did! 🙂
