Christening Gown | Atlatna Newborn Photographer

Baby Hill (whose has yet to be assigned a name) is a very lucky fellow.  As it turns out, he has an amazing great aunt, who is not only an amazing children’s book author, but is also a brilliant seamstress.   Aunt Faye made the christening gown below from imported lace and white cotton fabric, and she personally hand-stitched the details!  The gown took her over a week of intensive labor, and, as you can see, her skill is impeccable!  My gratitude for this gift goes beyond appreciating it’s beauty – the real gift was that this gown was made with love, and will bring joy to many generations to come.  Thanks so much Aunt Faye!

Of course, it was only a matter of hours after Faye presented us with this gift before I got out my camera and started documenting….
