In the middle of bustling New York City lies Central Park where Caitlin and I did a photoshoot to commemorate her 18th birthday before leaving for college.

In our photos we captured her traditional grace, splendid youth, artistic essence with a flower banquet, the goddess look with a flower crown handmade by her mother, charming playfulness as a tricycle driver, and the beauty that comes when a child changes from youth to adolescence.

Caitlin is just beginning to explore and experience the wonders of growing into the young woman that she is becoming. She is just at the start of her journey to become a glorious blooming flower.
