Alexis + Emma {Mother-Daughter}

As a mother myself, I adore mother-child sessions.  Not only are the portraits something moms treasure, they are something the children will treasure in years to come.  Truly a precious keepsake.  So I was delighted when Alexis contacted me to schedule a mother-daughter session with her sweet little girl, Emma.

On a beautiful Sunday morning in mid-October, I headed to Dubuque for their session.  The fall colors were just starting and it was a clear, crisp autumn day.  I met with Alexis and Emma at the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.  Simply beautiful!

Unfortunately, many of the plants had been hurt by the recent frost, but we were still able to get some beautiful shots around the gardens.

Towards the end of our session, Alexis' parents and grandmother joined us for some family portraits.

It was so much fun working with Alexis and her beautiful family again.  Such a pleasure capturing their portraits!
