T and I had originally planned to take her headshots in the rose garden, hoping to catch that soft golden light filtering through the blooms. But the garden closed before golden hour! Thankfully, the surrounding area turned out to be just as stunning. We wandered through nearby paths, open green spaces, and tucked-away corners that were glowing in the evening light. T was such a joy to photograph—natural, warm, and full of creative energy. We had so much fun exploring, laughing, and creating together. I love when a session feels more like a collaborative adventure than a checklist—and this one absolutely did.
