greenhouse photo shoot, part 1



these photos were taken in the volunteer park conservatory, a small greenhouse on capitol hill that has been around since 1912  (my own fun family story of this place is here) . it was a rainy and gray day, but my friend rachael and i were determined to go on a photo shoot. the greenhouse was the perfect solace to a dark and cold winter. we found great light and warmed up quite a bit. the conservatory was so peaceful, but it was hard for rachael's red boots not to steal the show. more red boot photos to come...

  9. Reminds me of Logees on the East Coast---a greenhouse complex over 100 years old filled with ancient tropical plants, fruit trees and a separate greenhouse just for heirloom scented geraniums....sigh!
