I was so excited to work with Sophia as my senior model rep. Her long blonde locks and freckles had me thinking of Alice in Wonderland for some reason. So she was definitely a muse for me and Hamstra Gardens is definitely like a wonderland! We stopped in “the Square” first for some variety and happened across this cool old car. We took advantage of some pretty local artwork and posed in front of the angel wings for a couple and then to my favorite spot in some ivy. (I would photograph everyone’s portrait by the ivy if I could.)

Hamstra Gardens was just as beautiful as ever and we really felt like we were wandering around in a fairy-tale. There’s path after path of gorgeous landscaping and architecture. We ended our session with a beautiful sky at twilight and it was the perfect ending to our little adventure.
