Passing Down Memories and Making New Ones

This Enchanted Session was one of my favorites. You see, Mom tossed and turned over doing the session because when you have four kids, things like this can be hard. Especially when only one of your kids is going to get to do it. But in the end, she and her husband decided that it was an opportunity to create a special memory and strengthen the bonds between mother and daughter by adding some special touches.

First off, Mom loaned her little girl a ring that she had worn as a little girl. Next, they decided to skip the floral crowns and instead Mom pulled out the tiara that she had worn to her Junior Prom. Knowing how much little girls love wearing tiaras, you can imagine just how beautiful her daughter felt.

And the most important thing that Mom loaned to her daughter that day was her own white wedding gown. She had to pin it in the back, of course. But from the front it looked perfect. I know many of us have saved our wedding gowns in hopes that our daughters might use them one day. Mine is taking up some pretty large real estate in our basement right now. But who knows if it will ever see the light of day again. Well, this little girl and her mom made sure that that special dress was not only worn again but used for something very special between the two of them.So what could have just been some fun little girl fairy pictures turned out to be so much more for the two of them.

It’s wonderful to know that she’ll always have these beautiful images to look back on as she grows. It won’t be too many years before those hard adolescent years hit when kids doubt their beauty and worth. But now Mom has these images to remind her precious daughter of just how amazing and loved she truly is.
