The Dress

While I had Brooke in my Mom's wedding dress recently, I decided to take some other pictures that are important to me. My Mom has a photograph of herself as a young girl in a really sweet dress and she still has the dress today. My Grandmother gave her the dress years later to keep so I did not photograph in the dress when I was young but it is so special for me to have portraits of Brooke in it.

Brooke really studied the framed picture of Ganny for a long time. She asked me if it was the same dress she was wearing. I was glad that she realized that and she liked it too.

Near the end of these pictures, Brooke was very focused on getting into the pool in Ganny's yard. I think she did very well posing in Ganny's wedding dress and childhood dress. I was very proud of her and I will treasure the photographs forever.

WOW!! These are priceless. My favorite is the 10th one down - you should get a really large print of that one and hang it! I love them all! I can't believe how much you and your mom look the same as children. When I first saw that picture of your mom, I thought it was YOU!!! That is just how I remember you looking!

What great memories to have. I will have to get Heather to take pictures of her girls in my wedding dress the next time they come. These are really special.

These are precious!!! my grandmother has a dress that was hers when she was little and she has a picture of all the great-granddaughters in it. It is framed in a shadow box with the pictures around it. You should do that, they are so sweet!!! I have to love Brooke's little personality in the one with one eyebrow raised. Hilarious!
