[Featured] St. Bridget's Flower Farm

A couple of weeks ago I photographed little Myelle and her parents, Lindsay and Adam at St. Bridget's Flower Farm near Solon (thank you to my friend Becky for suggesting it to me!). After visiting the farm, and talking with Cathy, I really wanted to blog about it because I thought it (and she) was so wonderful.

St. Bridget's Flower Farm is a sustainable, chemical free flower farm which was established in 2005. They offer arranged flowers for local delivery (including a weekly or bi-weekly delivery all summer long - great for businesses or someone who just loves fresh flowers in their home!), as well as buckets of flowers if you like to arrange your own. They also can provide flower arrangements for weddings (great for you brides who love buying local), or again - buckets of flowers for the DIY bride. (Though Cathy came up with the arrangement above for Myelle in about a minute and it is GORGEOUS, so I would love to see what she could do for wedding bouquets!) The website also lists "Flower Camp" as an activity the farm offers, for groups of three or more where you get to come out to the farm, have some treats and learn about flower design before practicing what you've learned on the beautiful flowers provided. 

St. Bridget's Flower Farm has also hosted weddings (oh my word, this place would be beautiful for a small wedding!!), bridal showers, etc - so feel free to contact them if you are interested in hosting your event at their farm. You can also visit their Facebook page HERE.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone! 

I hope you get to relax, enjoy the sunshine, and maybe take a nap or two (Clara definitely has the right idea if you ask me!) as summer kicks off this weekend. Sounds like it will be a hot one - a trip to the pool may be in order, don't you think?

I'll be back next week with more sessions to share and a feature on St. Bridget's Flower Farm!

I'm not sure how to start this post, as these photos are somewhat bittersweet for me. Lindsay first contacted me in the spring of 2011 to take Myelle's 6 month photos and we became great friends very quickly. Sadly, Lindsay, Adam, and Myelle will be moving in the next few weeks out to Oregon (their dream location!!). I am so happy for them, as this is where they really want to be and have been given some great opportunities, but I am sad for me as I will really miss my wonderful friends.

We met up last Sunday evening, at the most gorgeous place - St. Bridget's Flower Farm (more info on this place in a future post - Cathy is so incredibly sweet and you have to see the impromptu bouquet she made for Myelle as we were leaving). We had a great session, exploring the beautiful farm and getting some pretty photos along the way. I hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek! Lindsay, Adam, and Myelle - thank you for being such wonderful friends, I can't wait to come out to visit you guys sometime soon! You will be sorely missed (thank goodness for Skype!!).

Myelle found a very patient cat to "nap" with. I think this is one of my favorites! Myelle-8063 copy*
