Once upon a time a baby girl was born.  Her parents named her Janice and dreamed big things for their baby girl.  They dreamed of the places she'd go and the things she'd do.  But maybe more than anything else they wished and hoped for her to meet someone wonderful, fall in love and get married. They bought a beautiful piece of fabric for their tiny baby and put it away in a safe place.  This was the fabric for her wedding dress in that far away future that they imagined.

And of course she grew up to be beautiful and talented and she did indeed meet her Prince Charming (on a Superbike though, not a horse).  Her parents unwrapped the fabric they had put away for her and they gave it to her.  Janice took it to her friend Rachael, a very talented designer and seamstress and together they created an incredible wedding gown.  Rachael carefully and secretly tucked the scraps and the leftover fabric away because she knew about another bit of the wish for Janice and Ricky.

And eventually that one came true too.  Janice and Ricky are about to become parents to a beautiful baby girl of their own.  And so Rach went to work again, this time she took out those leftover pieces of fabric and created a beautiful christening gown for baby...

And yep, that's the very same Rach who can be found most Saturdays behind the camera second shooting with me.  She's a bit multi talented huh?

Thanks so much Janice, Ricky and Rach for letting me share your beautiful story!
