When S contacted me to do photos of her children in her cousin’s garden, I admit, I pictured taking photos in someone’s backyard.  I loved the idea of family photos in somewhere special to them but I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  In a separate email a few days later, she sent me the link to the “garden.”  Um, yeah.  This was no backyard.  Started about 40 years ago, this has transformed from a cottage garden to rooms of gardens – I believe over an acre!  When I got to the site on Saturday evening, my jaw literally dropped at how stunning it was.  And the family I was shooting to go along with the gardens?  Adorable!!  With a four and a two year old it was the perfect place for family photos!  The kids (and parents!) were just wonderful and did such a great job throughout.  We explored all over and got so many wonderful images with amazing backgrounds.  I normally share at least one black and white image in my sneak peeks, but I simply adore all of the color in these photos.  🙂  Enjoy your sneak peek, guys!!Little Compton garden, sakonnet garden, pink flowersBeautiful family photo in gardenPortrait of a boy sitting on a benchKids kissing dad, family in front of flowersBrother and sister sibling picture in garden

 

For those curious about the garden or for gardeners out there wanting more information, their website is www.sakonnetgarden.com.  They are having their first open house on June 2 so if you are in the Little Compton area, definitely stop by, it is really something to behold!!  Please realize however, that this is a private property not open to the public normally.
