A shot from the Norfolk (Virginia) Botanical Garden last week. Teenage me would never believe that I’d be on vacation/a trip out of town and go to a botanical garden *by choice,* without my parents making me. #norfolkbotanicalgarden

All I can say is that Spring is becoming my favorite season to do sessions! Flowers are my love language and I think Morgan is the same way! These two were pros in front of my camera! It always blows my mind when a couple tells me they have never had professional pictures done before and then they are models for me! I just love how their engagement session turned out!

My 85mm @zeisscameralenses is easily the greatest tool in my photography arsenal, after my own "eye" of course. It's such a versatile lens -whether I'm taking your portrait, or in nature, or if I'm deep in the world of macro, Zeiss glass always enables crisp, richly saturated images. Long timers will tell you the glass you use is far more important than the camera. It's my favorite for bridal portraits and engagement shoots. When I'm in my own world, I love to throw in an extension tube or two and show people how there is a whole magical, separate world to be found in the details around them. . . . . . . . #NorfolkBotanicalGarden @norfolkbotanicalgarden #virginiabeachphotography #norfolkphotographer #virginiabeachphotographer @vbparksrec @visitnorfolkva #zeisslens #macromood #natureinfocus #757photographer #85mmlens #85mm28

#FridayFlora - The @norfolkbotanicalgarden in Norfolk, Virginia, has an incredible Lagerstroemia (crapemyrtle) collection, which is designated an Official Plant Collections Network collection in 2013. Crapemyrtles are a group of small to large trees that originated in Asia. A long flowering period in the summer, good fall color, and interesting bark make this an attractive tree for several seasons. This tree was one of the favorites of Fred Heutte, supervisor of Norfolk’s City Parks and later the first Director of the Garden. He planted many at the Garden, as well as more than 40,000 of the trees throughout the city of Norfolk, which today account for over half of all of the city’s street trees. Plant Collections Network is a program of the American Public Gardens Association (APGA) in cooperation with the USDA Agricultural Research Service. As part of this national designation, the Garden is committed to holding and developing collection of documented living plants according to specified standards. In addition, Plant Collections Network-recognized plant collections are available for selection and breeding, taxonomic study evaluation, utilization, and other research purposes. #GoPublicGardens #PublicGarden #PublicGardens #botanicalgarden #botanicgarden #NorfolkBotanicalGarden #Norfolk #NorfolkVA #Virginia #VA #VisitVA #Virginiaisforlovers #flora #florafriday
