Miss Haley’s summer senior session at Lewis Ginter has hit the blog, and y’all, it’s GOOOD!! My first time at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden for a solo session, and I am already hooked! The only other time I have been was for our Senior Rep Team spring photoshoot a few months ago – see it here!! I’ve always known it was beautiful, obviously, and even had it on my location list in my Senior Session Guide, but I’ never had a senior request it for their session! So of course when Haley asked if we could go there, I gave her a big old fat YES!!! If you’re considering going there for your session, note that there is a $100 photo fee at the door, but it does cover up to 6 peoples’ entrance fee!

The gardens at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens are absolutely GORGEOUS!! My favorite though was the rose garden, which is only in bloom for a short period of time, but gosh, it is just so dreamy! Haley was giving me ultimate “Debut” and “Fearless” Taylor Swift vibes, and as you know, I am sooo here for that!! Thankfully, the day we were there it was so quiet and peaceful. Although, on the down side, the heat index was 115!!! It may have been brutal, but a win is a win that A) it wasn’t packed, B) it was fairly cloudy so the sun wasn’t beating down on us, and C) Haley had the most PERFECT OUTFITS!! Seniors, take notes!!

Haley! Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your senior portraits and bring your visions to life!! And thank you for having the best outfits and looking absolutely stunning which just made my job so easy!! 😉 Can’t wait to see you in the spring for your cap & gown session and then off at Liberty University in the fall!!!
