As spring returns to Northeast Ohio, so do outfits with a bit more color and fewer layers. As we at Jstyle anxiously await more sunny days, warmer weather and the return of foliage and flowers outside, it was the perfect time to visit the Cleveland Botanical Garden in University Circle for our photo shoot. Dressed in spring fashion from local boutiques with which Jstyle partners, our models ventured into the Cleveland Botanical Garden’s various spaces filled with plants and even animals from around the world – all during its Orchids Forever show, which ran through early March.
