Sunday afternoon Emma and I took a stroll through Jasmine Hill Gardens in Wetumpka to take some photographs for her 5-year-old portrait. Thank you to my talented friend Cathy Stearns for letting us borrow one of her beautiful handmade heirloom dresses for the event. Here are some of our favorite moments from the day.
The owner of the gardens delighted Emma with this flower with a sweet surprise inside; can you see the little bunny?

Oh so precious. I love everything about these pictures! You are blessed!
What lovely photos! Your daughter is just beautiful. :)
Thanks for the lovely tour of the garden! Emma is adorable. I love the pics of her lifting the sides of the dress.
Breath taking! Love the setting and those sweet smiles!
Oh Melissa, I have watched this precious child grow up through your lens and cannot believe she's five already. The photos are so sweet and the background just beautiful. Again, I'm so glad you shared this with us.
What beautiful pictures. She is so precious. I love picture # 8.
I can't decide which one I like the best. I like the one sitting on the bench, the one with her reflection in the pool and any of the ones where she is holding up her dress. I think that is all Sophie would do.

No children on earth are going to have a better treasure of photographic memories than your children!!

I can't believe she is 5!!! I have enjoyed watching all of your beautiful children grow up on this blog!!
Emma is lovely and the garden is an amazing setting for her portrait! It's obvious she enjoyed her time in front of the camera, but I can imagine she enjoyed the one-on-one time with mommy even more. How blessed you are to have such lovely children!

Gorgeous! Your daughter is so photogenic and the pics turned out amazing. What a beautiful park. And the dress too! You could tell that she felt beautiful in it...oh, to keep our girls feeling beautiful!
What lovely pictures! You take great photos! May I ask what camera you are using?
You're a wonderful woman, wife, mother. You have 4 little lucky angels. I absolutely adore your blog and reading your thoughts is so inspiring for me every day. I dream that one day i will have the chance to look back to my life with so much pride as you do. A friend :)
Thank you, Andrea! On the question about my camera, I use a Sony 600 DSLR.
Those photos are really stunning and the dress is precious (as is the girl, of course!). It breathes the atmosphere of a bygone era... something Edwardian or such :)
Thank you for a lovely blog!
Blessings,
This Good Life
