Botanic Garden/Family

My very special friend wanted to gift her parents a family photo session at the botanic garden in Traverse City.

We created a gift certificate and set a date for when the rest of the family would be in town.

The day arrived and we started at the labyrinth. a family group on the labyrinth in the botanic gardenra man and woman hug on the labyrinth in the botanic gardentwo boys stand on the labyrinth in the botanic garden

It’s just a short walk from the botanic garden welcome area.

Next, we explored the community gardens. They were just lovely!

“Tracy the photos are gorgeous! So fun to see all the little surprises from the leaf shots to the holding of hands. The photos on the trail to the gardens look stage-lit! And I’m super grateful to have all these sweet photos of the Wonderdog, Hasek.” ~Mari
