Sego Lily Gardens Baptism Pictures | Scarlet | Whitney Beth Photography
 

In all my years of living in Utah I had never been to the Sego Lily Gardens. I figured they were close since Sego Lily is close to my place, but it wasn't until Jennifer suggested it for the location of Scarlet's baptism pictures that I realized just how close it was! It's literally like ten minutes (if that) away! I can tell you right now that it is one of my new favorite locations! Scarlet and her family were in town visiting from Egypt! How cool is that!? But what's even cooler, is that during their trip to Utah, Scarlet is getting baptized. During our session I asked her what she was most excited about her upcoming baptism and she responded with, "getting the spirit." So much love in such a little phrase. We spent the photoshoot walking along the path and stopping for pictures whenever a spot stood out to either of us. The spots I picked were full of flowers and golden light, the spots Scarlet picked were full of pinecones! That girl and her pinecones was the cutest thing! They ended up being the perfect bribe for a few more pictures! While walking, we were on the hunt for some scarlet flowers. Rightly so, that is Scarlet's favorite color! Luckily the gardens delivered and we found two different types of scarlet-ish flowers! The gardens close at 8, which is when I usually start shoots for this time of year, but thanks to the trees and landscaping we were able to have beautiful, dappled light with the sun streaming through the leaves. It was perfect. I'm in love with these photos so much and totally over delivered! (Good luck narrowing down your print list, Jennifer!) Here's some of my favorites of the night.
