Victorian Everyday

A series of smaller photo shoots with my Victorian family
​

Mother's Day

"Happy Mother's Day Mom!"
Picture
"Here, let me hold Sena so you can open their gifts..."
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"I wonder what could be in here?"
Picture
"Toilet paper!!"
Picture
"Oh wow!  I've really missed this!"
Picture
Picture
All the packages contained rolls of toilet paper...
Picture
"These are the best quality too..."
Picture
"How in the world did you children manage to get all this?"
Picture
"We asked Aunt Leona to send us some from the future last time she came.."
Picture
Picture
"Thank you all so much!"
Picture
Picture
"I love it!"

Family Portraits

While taking the Victorian Mother's Day photos I realized that I really needed to take a new updated family portrait, one including baby Sena.  So I did....
Picture
...and with Nyssa and Eric switching places....
Picture
...and in good old fashioned sepia tones...
Picture

Afternoon on the Patio

Iris picked up baby Sena.  "It's such a nice day out, let's go out on the patio..."
Picture
"I have some sewing to do, so it would be nice if you could amuse yourself in your playpen.."
Picture
"Now that you are standing, you really need some shorter dresses..."
Picture
"...and I'm almost finished this first one..."
Picture
Iris set about finishing Sena's dress...
Picture
..while Sena entertained herself....
Picture
...tossing all her toys out of the playpen....
Picture

the New Dress

Iris had finished the new dress....
Picture
....and held it up for Sena to see...
Picture
 "What do you think?"
Picture
...but she was preoccupied with trying to reach her toys that she'd thrown out....
Picture
Picture
"Oh well..."
Picture
"...I'm sure you'll look very pretty in it, and then you'll be better able to move around."
Picture

the Game

Nyssa came out....
Picture
....to see what her Mom was doing....
Picture
"I've just finished a new dress for Sena..."
Picture
"...and she's thrown all her toys out of her playpen."
Picture
"..and is struggling to reach them.."
Picture
"Do you want some help?"
Picture
"Here you go..."
Picture
"Here's all your toys back in..."
Picture
But no sooner did Nyssa put her toys back in, Sena just started throwing them out again....
Picture
Nyssa was not impressed...
Picture
"She's just throwing everything back out again..."
Picture
"She thinks it's a game..."
Picture
"Well, I'm not falling for that again!"
Picture
Picture

Out on the Patio

Some photos of Iris in her new dress, with Steve out on the patio...

Masquerade

Since Iris' pink gown would be used for an FID Masquerade photo shoot some time in the future, I decided to just go ahead and make the mask, while I still had the fabrics and trims out...

Sena's New Dress

I realized that I'd not taken any photos of Sena in the new dress her Mom had made for her, so took her, some puppies, and her sister out on the patio for a few pictures....

Steve's New Collar

I made him a separate, more elegant collar with black bow attached....
