Flora is three, and we met in a hidden garden in Charlottesville, Virginia, behind old gates and wrought iron fences, where ivy curled up ancient brick and a neighborhood cat watched curiously from the hedges.

Her french linen pinafore dress rustled softly as she ran through clover and ran with her kite in hand. We wandered together through the maze of green, chasing light and imagination. Flora told stories with her hands, paused to pet the cat, and spun in dappled sun patches as if in conversation with the trees themselves.

This children’s photography session in Charlottesville, VA, was designed to capture the fleeting spirit of wonder and wild play—something that lives so brightly in the early years and disappears far too soon. Like all House of Felix sessions, it’s a quiet celebration of childhood as art, rooted in story and styled with intention.
