After hearing about the lily ponds at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, a little-known National Park Service site tucked away in a northeast corner of the otherwise bustling city of Washington D.C., I knew I wanted to do a lily-themed styled shoot. I decided to incorporate Monet into the mix, using a Water Lily print by the famous impressionist painter as color inspiration, to put a little bit of a twist on the otherwise traditional theme of lilies. Love and thanks to my dear friends Samantha and Joey, and of course to all the amazing vendors who made it possible.  Venue: Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens    Flowers: Liz Borst    Dress: Junction    Headpiece: Scarlett & Maria    Antiques:Something Vintage Rentals   Paper: Jenna Ketchmark
