101320-03 How adorable is this sweet mother-daughter duo?!  I have known Alexis since freshman year of high school.  We graduated together and have stayed in touch over the years.  When her sweet daughter, Emma, arrived, I began capturing her family portraits.  It's hard to believe Emma was just five months old! 101320-05 101320-06 I met up with Alexis and Emma at Emma's favorite place, the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.  Emma loves flowers and was so excited to be in the gardens! 101320-08 101320-09 101320-12 Thank you, Alexis and Emma, for allowing me to capture your portraits this fall!  It was so much fun wandering the gardens with you for your portraits and catching up!
