Robyn and I work up early on a Sunday morning to meet in Spring, TX. While these photos were captured in the heat of Texas summer, the end results feel a lot more like a songbird in Spring.

Robyn was a such a joy to shoot. She kindly volunteered to assist me in building my portfolio. Little did I know her poses were fire! Pulling knowledge from her model brother’s experience, Robyn needed very little direction.

We were like kids in a candy store at Mercer Botanic Gardens. Everywhere we turned this Sunday morning, was another beautiful photo opportunity with gorgeous lighting.

These were random pencils sticking up from the ground in a children’s garden area. Look at that bokeh with light coming through the trees. I was in heaven!

When we entered this fern garden, I swear it was major Jurassic Park vibes. The theme song was definitely playing in my head the entire time.
