My dad’s mother, Alice Margaret (Halton) Alex was born on May 10, 1912. She is doing well at 99 years old! Her first (and currently only) great-granddaughter, Nora Adalyn, was born 98 years later, on June 8, 2010. Sometime around my grandmother’s first birthday in May of 1913 her parents had a studio portrait taken*. My mom suggested that we recreate the photo with Nora around the time of her first birthday. As you can see, the results were pretty delightful.







Tatiana (Tanya) Schwendinger of Precious Moments Photography in Lancaster did a really fabulous job recreating the photo. We can’t wait to see the other pictures from this session!

 
*I can’t believe that not only is there an open flame in front of a one year old, she’s perched on the edge of a table! (We considered lighting a candle for Nora’s photo as well, but decided a singed baby and/or a burned down studio wasn’t worth it!
