Good Bye to Summer

I have noticed the leaves showing signs that autumn is coming. You can see them slowly change color daily. I wanted to do our family portraits this year in white dresses and bare feet, so I grabbed the girls one day after school and headed out. Here are a few of my favorites.

I did two different crops of the kissing photo. Which one do you all prefer?

Now is the time to take those summery portraits for Christmas cards before it starts to get chilly in the evenings :).

A dress for Emma

Well, all the hours and hours of embroidery, and smocking have finally paid off. I finished Emma's Silk Dupioni dress to wear on her baptism day. She looked like an angel in it, and it made my heart skip a beat to see the finished garment on my sweet child.
Emma has a very sweet and sunny disposition. She is very kind and considerate to others. I cannot believe she is 8 now.

Sorry for all the photos, but I had too many favorites to even post :).
