Hearts in the Garden

I recently made my first trip to Longwood Gardens to see the 2017 Orchid Extravaganza. And once again - the show is amazing. This year there are over 4500 orchids on display. I only photographed a few of the flowers - mainly just was getting a sense of the show today....

A Few Flowers from my Studio
Over the past few months, I’ve been spending more and more time photographing flowers in my studio. Not only am I really enjoying creating images that show details I haven’t been able to capture at local gardens, but I also don’t have to deal with wind, rain, snow,...
