Victorian Times

Photos of Iris and Steve's family in Victorian Times
​

Family Portraits

I was working on a set of Victorian Family photo albums featuring many of the photos taken of Iris and Steve's family in Victorian times throughout the years.  And like usual there were always a few new photos that needed to be taken.  The albums would be landscape format (horizontal) but most of the family portraits were vertical, so we needed one in horizontal format. So everyone came out of the china cabinet to pose for a new family portrait...

And while I was at it, with everyone in a cooperative mood, I took advantage of the opportunity to take a few more portraits....

Going for a Walk

 Steve and Iris enjoyed taking their family out for a walk to enjoy the first flowers of Spring....

Victorian Boys

While looking back at all the photos of my Victorian family over the years, it became clear that Eric was under represented. Maybe it was because he was always wearing a dressy sailor suit. But he also didn't seem to have any friends, other than his cousin Coco who would come for a visit now and then. So, I decided to remedy the situation.

​I made a pair of tartan pants to go with an existing shirt and vest, then made two entirely new outfits.  From the left; Elliot, Coco, Bordy....

I had originally planned on giving Eric one of the new outfits, but in the end I didn't feel like taking one of the new outfits from the other boys, thereby reducing his number of friends, so I needed to make yet another outfit...

In the end, I decided that Eric would get the outfit Coco was wearing, since he was from quite an affluent family, ​

and I made a new outfit for Coco...

So Eric finally had a group of friends to go out and do some fun things with...
