Hello, my friends! Roses for you because you deserve them.
In this bouquet are several varieties of garden roses, including David Austins, but not from my garden this time.
These beauties were generously given to me by Erin at the conclusion of our latest shoot last week and they come from Dawn Severin at All My Thyme, another wondrous farm in the Skagit Valley just north of us.
My instructions as I headed home with my car laden with blooms was to just enjoy them and not panic about photographing them. But of course, I couldn’t resist just a few photos to share with you. Erin and I both love these impossibly beautiful, ruffled, fragrant roses, especially when they are a bit past their peak and on the verge of collapsing into a romantic pile of petals, as these are.
For more about Erin, Dawn and these magical roses, see this recent post from Erin at Floret Flower Farm.
And soon we’ll share more of our latest shoot, one that may be my favorite ever.
I hope your week is filled with romance!

Sigh ~ what lovely roses, so delicate and romantic, how could you not photograph them. Now their beauty has been preserved.

A Sigh from me, too :~) Exquisite!!!
Oh, my. What a gorgeous collection. Love the title, too. Perfection all around!
Dear Georgianna, you are amazing! Thank you for made my day so pretty! It’s always a pleasure for me to admire your marvelous photos!
Georgianna,
They are all amazing, but I particularly love the second one!
While I do adore flowers at their peak, I find that I love the imperfections as they age a bit more – the slight fading, delicacy of their petals and the well-loved look they have to them!
Thanks for sharing,
Kelly
You’ve captured the essence of heaven in these photographs…such heavenly beauty! I can almost catch a hint of their sweet scent ;)
This is breath taking!

ha,ha, i knew you couldn’t do it.
the roses are whispering” sucker”!

As always your flower photos are calming and gorgeous. Makes me want to live in a slower time with a richer bank account- in order to have a gardener to keep beautiful bouquets of roses in my house all the time
How lovely they are.
Can´t wait to see more of the pictures from your latest photoshoot :-)
I would die for those:) Just pure LOVE.
Oh my, oh my. Amazingly beautiful.
xoxo
gorgeous flowers!
Of course you had to shoot them – it’s like giving candy to a child and then saying not to eat it – hahaha!! And they are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the shoot that may be your fave – it’s got to be beyond incredible!!! hugs friend!
So beautiful Georgianna! Ciao Rita
A bit past their peak but definitely gorgeous. I am looking forward to your next post about probably your favorite shoot ever:)
If this is a sneak peek…I can hardly wait. This is already stunning!

I’m so glad you gave in to temptation and shared these with us… beautiful.
I love those big fluffy roses!
P.S.
Please feel free to delete my above comment – it’s that crazy link again.
I even changed my blog link so that wouldn’t happen again.
Sigh.
I knew there were David Austin roses in your bouquet G, and I am imagining the wonderful fragrance you must be enjoying.
Can’t wait to see your favourite shoot – how can you actually pick a favourite? I’m looking forward to seeing it.

I adore that last photo with the garden background and chair! I love that you have found your niche in photography and that your passion shines through. I like that we share Midnight in Paris & Letters to Juliet movies in common! Hope you are well my dear. I am in a busy busy period but will be in touch again soon. x

Roses are my birthday flower and I adore them. Can’t grow them very well. Thank you for sharing these gorgeous photos, G. It has been crazy busy here. Take care my friend, Jen xo

Your photos are so soft and pretty. I just love popping in here and taking a peek.. I do hope you have a Happy week..
Hugs~
So nice to receive the email this time, Georgianna!
Someday I hope I learn the secret to growing such beautiful roses. Just last summer we planted roses and so far I’m not impressed with my green thumb.
It’s hard to enjoy a bouquet of flowers without photographing them. It’s just in your blood. Thank you for sharing!
What a treasure to have been given David Austin roses to take home! (I would not have been able to resist taking a picture either!) The second photo with the galvanized container is my favourite among many lovely lovely pictures. Thank you for sharing the beauty.
Each of these is simply perfection, Georgianna.
I could not pick a favorite, if I tried.
Such beautiful flowers, and so beautifully photographed.
xo.
Oh those are indeed beautiful! I was feeling so jealous of your garden, until reading they were from somewhere else:))
Mine are sort of pitiful this year.
These are gorgeous! I could use bouquets of these roses all over my house! I could see them everywhere I went then! Beautiful photos!
What a wonderful description: “impossibly beautiful, ruffled roses”. Yes, they are. I hope you’re having a lovely week, Georgianna! xo
Ada
Wow, Georgianna, so much gorgeousness! :)
It is always a pleasure to admire your stunning photos!
Have a lovely August.
these roses are sensational, so beautiful … photo no 3 is my favourite ;-)
i can just smell the heavenliness of those beauties.
I love these full-bloomed roses and grouped like these, they look stunning and delicious too! But, my fave, is the bottom pic — great calendar and advertising material. Good work, Georgianna!
These may be past their peak, but they’re still bursting with beauty! The scent of them must be heavenly…thank you for taking some photos and sharing them with us! Also, I want to thank you for your very kind post at my blog. Have a wonderful weekend! :)
It is a great inspiration for me to see your absolutely fabulous pictures.
Thank you again for a wonderful experience to enjoy the beauty here on the blog!
:-) Dorthe DK
How could you not photograph these? They are begging to be immortalized! I can almost smell them!
these tug at the sweet spot in my heart
for roses
like cotton candy blooming:)

Jennifer
love, love, LOVE.

Oh so beautiful….I fell in love with these photos, especially the last and first one. These roses must look awesome when dried.
If your next photos are your favourite ever then I guess I’ll be falling in love again, how can I not ? :)
I hope you’re having a wonderful summer Georgianna !
Absolutely stunning G! :) Lovely soft and romantic roses. Love them. I just got back from almost a week away. In Visby we saw many roses. Enjoy your Sunday! xo

Georgianna,
I just received your newsletter and have spent the last half hour pouring over your gorgeous photography. I love roses, London, Paris and pastels…you are amazing. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone photograph roses with love in their lens, like you do.
I am just learning about photography and I just want you to know that you are my hero. I love your tips on how to photograph people with the sun behind them. The effects that you get are incredible.
Thank you for being you Georgianna.
Karen
Hi
Thanks for your newsletter, many useful tips! :)
Beautiful photographs as always every time I look in here ♥ I have had so much to do with my scrapbooking sheets I do, so I haven’t had much time for photography and blog walking …… : (

Many hugs Linnea
Beautiful as always. You never dissapoint. Really gorgeous. Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend.
Cindy
I can almost smell these beautiful roses, your photography is just breathtaking. Have a blessed weekend!
I really mean it when I say that your images, such as these sublimely wonderful floral photos, really could (and should!) accompany the definition of beautiful in the dictionary. They take my breath away and help such a sense of tranquility wash over my soul.
Endless hugs,
♥ Jessica
Hey Georgianna,
I am in HEAVEN looking at your beautiful photos! Divine! I can almost get the scent through my computer screen!! Just gorgeous!
