Of Friends & Wildflowers {a Photoshoot}

Hello friends!

Last weekend I had the privilege of attending the most beautiful retreat at my friend’s family’s house. We had a fancy tea, went on pretty hikes, did some crafts and activities, and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery.

I have lots of pictures to share, but I wanted to start with a photoshoot the girls did after our tea. We were supposed to dress in fancy clothes which ended up being so fun to photograph. Plus we found the perfect spots to shoot in that looked straight out of a fairytale!

I hope you enjoy these delightful portraits. ❤

Light and shadows are two (free!) things to be happy about, so I think they’re worth noticing. 😉 I hope you guys enjoy these pictures!
