I cannot overstate how excited I am to share these images from my first session in the new tropical garden I created! After a week of hauling rocks in my minivan (shout out to Anthony and San Diego Rock Supply for all the help), researching the type of plants I'd need to complete the look, and ordering my dedicated husband around, my vision for this space has finally come to fruition. Initially, when the studio opened we had the tub located inside, but I was not getting the look I wanted to achieve. Milk bath photoshoots have been around now for the last seven years and honestly, as an artist I'm kind of over them. (Maybe, because I shot so many back when I was a maternity and newborn photographer, but I digress.) When I got my own tub, I knew I wanted to do something different than how I'd originally set the tub up, but my team and I had a launch event to execute, building a new set in time for launch just wasn't feasible. 

I truly hope you enjoy the images I've created. This space has so much symbolism and personal aspects in it. The plants are a nod to my Jamaican grandmother who had the greenest thumb ever. The conch shell peeking out is from Turks and Caicos, the first trip I took after I fully recovered from stage 4 non-Hodkins Lymphoma and six rounds of chemotherapy. This set is deeply personal to me, and I feel so lucky to be here to share it with you during your session.
