Hi, bohemian perfection! These beautiful desert mother-daughter photos came about when Valerie Denise Photo took a Palm Springs vacay and met up with longtime Insta friend Geneva of Cosmic American for a fun little afternoon with both their fams. Being Joshua Tree dwellers themselves, Geneva and her girl Prairie were sooo in their element at Moorten Botanical Garden (which will now be lovingly referred to as cactus heaven, K?). So good, guys!

We’ve got both mama and little P’s outfit deets at the bottom of the post, of course.

A lovely desert lifestyle and this little dolly, you can see why G’s insta is so well-loved, yes?

Geneva explains, My 20 month old daughter Prairie and I drove down the hill from our home in Joshua Tree and met up with Valerie, her husband and Hendrix for the afternoon. We explored the gardens together and stopped to snap some pictures along the way. It was a casual and fun afternoon, and I think you can really get a sense of that lovely feeling through the images Valerie captured.

Valerie tells Geneva, I wanted to shoot you ladies because I love watching your adventures a mom in such a simple but beautiful place to live! You guys truly capture what it means to live simply. I wanted to shoot at the Moorten Botanical Garden to capture your desert lifestyle.

We just knowww these two will cherish this set forever!
