a year ago I did a shoot at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens (HBG). I feel like it's one of those places that can easily be worn out, so I avoided it afterwards, but I figured 12 months was an okay amount of time to put in between shoots at this particular location. The best thing about the HBG is that it has so many different backdrops to offer; there really is no other place like it. My personal favorite spot in the Gardens is the Butterfly room: from the architecture to the diverse plants and wildlife; everything about that room is just completely beautiful to me.
The weather for this shoot was absolutely perfect. I was hoping for a cloudy day, but I had no idea how much texture the clouds would have - how diffused and misty the light would turn out. The sun cast an angelic tone over the expanse of the gardens.
I got to meet up with another classmate from Randolph who graduated the same class as me! It's always so much fun to work with people you know; catching up and talking about our high school experiences was definitely a highlight. I loved working with Tessa because she is so gorgeous and unique! She is very relaxed and elegant and gives off an extremely chill vibe in the images.
As for wardrobe, we wanted to pick outfits that almost mirrored our location. We wanted natural, simplistic, and earth toned fabrics and prints (throw in some high wasted shorts and a headband, and I'm immediately obsessed).
I was really inspired by the Mesozoic period when I was editing these. I wanted to implement an film-archaeological atmosphere to the images.
This has become one of my favorite shoots to date. "What about this shoot made is so memorable?" You might ask. Well, it was one of those days where everything worked together so well, and meshed seamlessly. The weather, the model, the wardrobe and the editing all went RIGHT. It's always such a wonderful feeling when that happens.
Check out my images from the shoot and let me know what you think!
