Blossoms of Rapture

”  One of the highlights of Spring here in Michigan are the breathtaking Ornamental Pear Trees. Fortunately for me, I did not have to travel far to experience these beauties, as I have a plethora of them in my backyard. Although my pear trees were only in bloom for five short days; the glossy, green, thick leaves and fluttery white blossoms were truly enchanting. For this session, I knew my cousin, Elisabeth would be the perfect subject with her deep, luring brown eyes contrasting against both her Victorian gown and the creamy foliage. Luminous light, combined with the dress, blossoms, and magic of film created the romantic, ethereal mood I had been dreaming of.  ” – Laura
