Having a daughter is simply one of the most amazing gifts in the world. Every mom waits for those special moments, the ones where they will be able to share their wisdom and trials and triumphs with their daughter. As a mom to two little girls, I always think about that special day when my daughters will walk down the aisle. I often think of what great advice I'll give them, how I'll help them get ready, the tears I'll cry as I realize they are no longer little girls.

These thoughts inspired me to capture my oldest daughter in my wedding gown. I think these are the perfect gift to give her as she prepares to walk down the aisle. I plan on saving these pictures for the day we go dress shopping together (though that day feels so far away…) I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it. 

And even if you're not as sentimental as I am, these pictures are just fun to have. So break your wedding dress out of storage and come on by for memories that will last forever.
