Summer Friendship | Styled Editorial at River Farm in Alexandria, VA | Virginia Editorial Photographer

Last summer, two dear friends agreed to model for a styled shoot that I had been dreaming up. I had visions of cotton and frills, hats and ribbons, beautiful blooms and lush greenery, all surrounding the warmth and emotion of a genuine friendship at the center. I didn’t know it then, but a day of frolicking and laughter at River Farm translated to tender and whimsical images radiating childlike innocence and joy. I’m incredibly grateful that the three of us could delight in a morning of pure happiness and creativity… because, despite my dreaming, without friendship it wouldn’t have been possible. “Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It’s splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.” - Anne of Green Gables
