When an old friend asked me to photograph her as she neared the end of her second pregnancy, I was more than happy to do it. Not only had I not seen her in a while, but I had yet to meet her first child. I wasn't sure where we would meet until a few days before. I figured a local park would be easy, comfortable; but then I remembered this garden that I had been dying to visit since I first heard of it last year. I was not sure what to expect but the minute I stepped into it's walls I was blown away. It was my first time there and definitely not my last.

She was stunning in a spring dress while the boys looked great in their color coordinated outfits. I wish I had taken more pictures of the little guy but he was non-stop and on a mission to keep his hands in the pond. I had forgotten the beauty and curiosity of an almost two-year-old.

It was wonderful seeing my friend after several years and an honor to be able to photograph her during such special time in her life. Wishing you all the best, dear.
