Stop to Smell the Flowers

We have all heard this saying at some point in our lives. It seems that more and more in today’s bustling lifestyle that is a valuable piece of advice that should be heeded more often.

The Dallas Arboretum is a perfect place to do exactly that. There are several different kinds of flowers that are just waiting for someone to see them. I have frequented the Dallas Arboretum for a couple of years now, and it is a perfect place to relax. You can bring a picnic basket for an outing with your family, or that special person in your life. If you don’t want to take a picnic basket they sell lunch and snack items at the cafe, I recommend the Tomato soup, it is delicious!
Of course if you go to the Arboretum you should take a walk through and see the different plants that they have to offer. From season to season, of course, the flowers they have to offer to change, so it is always worth a trip to see what is new.
I have taken some photos there, many of the different flowers, I have also taken engagement photos, and Easter themed photos here as well. 
Here is a photo of G., he was an absolute delight to take photos of. I hope his mom and other family enjoy the photos, as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Engagement photos are always fun, to see the affection they have for each other, and capturing that in a photo is always such an amazing feeling.
The Campbells were a fun couple, they knew what they wanted and I wish them the best in life.

The Garcia’s engagement photos were formal and fun.  I had a lot of fun taking their photos. These two will be happy for a long time. Their fun and outgoing personalities will help them go far in their new life together.

If you ever get a chance to go to the Arboretum, I recommend taking the chance to slow down and spend some time either with friends, family, or yourself. It really is a great place to take photos, but more than that; it’s a place to wind down and get away from the phones and busy lives that most of us seem to have these days.
