Victorian Everyday
A series of smaller photo shoots with my Victorian family
Mother's Day
"Happy Mother's Day Mom!"
"Here, let me hold Sena so you can open their gifts..."

"I wonder what could be in here?"
"Toilet paper!!"
"Oh wow! I've really missed this!"
All the packages contained rolls of toilet paper...
"These are the best quality too..."
"How in the world did you children manage to get all this?"
"We asked Aunt Leona to send us some from the future last time she came.."
"Thank you all so much!"

"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....
...and with Nyssa and Eric switching places....
...and in good old fashioned sepia tones...
Afternoon on the Patio
Iris picked up baby Sena. "It's such a nice day out, let's go out on the patio..."
"I have some sewing to do, so it would be nice if you could amuse yourself in your playpen.."
"Now that you are standing, you really need some shorter dresses..."
"...and I'm almost finished this first one..."
Iris set about finishing Sena's dress...
..while Sena entertained herself....
...tossing all her toys out of the playpen....
the New Dress
Iris had finished the new dress....
....and held it up for Sena to see...
"What do you think?"
...but she was preoccupied with trying to reach her toys that she'd thrown out....
"Oh well..."
"...I'm sure you'll look very pretty in it, and then you'll be better able to move around."
the Game
Nyssa came out....
....to see what her Mom was doing....
"I've just finished a new dress for Sena..."
"...and she's thrown all her toys out of her playpen."
"..and is struggling to reach them.."
"Do you want some help?"
"Here you go..."
"Here's all your toys back in..."
But no sooner did Nyssa put her toys back in, Sena just started throwing them out again....
Nyssa was not impressed...
"She's just throwing everything back out again..."
"She thinks it's a game..."
"Well, I'm not falling for that again!"
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....
