The Hershey Gardens

I was back at the Hershey Gardens today -- I have some photo sessions coming up there and I wanted to see what was new there, and maybe scout some new locations.

Of course, I took my trusty assistant with me; he's just two, but he's learning the ropes fast. And he makes a good model (any of you who are worried about me being able to capture your active toddlers -- no worries, I have plenty of practice!) as I explore all the nooks and crannies of the Gardens in search of perfect lighting.

That's one of the things I love about sessions at Hershey Gardens: there are so many tucked-away places that I can always find wonderful, flattering light! This picture of Kai was taken in the Children's Garden. There's a little semi-circle of stone where the bird feeders are located, and that stone makes a great backdrop in the morning.
