Botanical Gardens never disappoints. There is beauty around every corner. So when you add a delightful little 3-year-old to its midst, you are guaranteed some of the sweetest images ever. I had the best time photographing this little beauty to commemorate her turning three. She was pure joy! And, those eyes! They are just that stunning in person.

I love photographing these milestones. I envision these being shared at her high school graduation party, or maybe at her wedding some day, or even just mom looking through them right now with all the heart eyes. In a few years she'll be asking herself (like we all do), "Where has the time gone?" And, thinking things like, "Time slow down." I mean, what mom hasn't done this?

I am confident that a photograph is one of the things that can never be overrated. I just get giddy thinking about the gift that these continually are and I am reminded again of why I do what I do.
