Mother Daughter Portrait Session | Melissa Desjardins Photography

Dixie attended the Wedding I shot in Punta Cana last year for Andrea and Eric, longtime friends of my brother Joey. Once she heard I would be visiting NH this fall, she messaged me right away inquiring about a Mother Daughter Portrait Session. I loved the idea, loved the location, and especially the ballgowns they would be wearing. Dixie had been envisioning this shoot for quite some time, so glad I was the final piece to the puzzle and it was going to come to life!

It was unseasonably warm this day in North Andover, Massachusetts and the European inspired gardens of Stevens-Coolidge Place were still in full bloom, absolutely gorgeous, the epitome of 20th-Century Country Elegance. Dixie and her daughter Camilla strolled through the gardens and grounds, hand in hand, in their fuchsia tulle ballgown dresses. It truly looked like something out of a princess fairytale movie! Camilla was such a good listener, I could tell she loved getting to share this special moment with her Mother, not to mention she was a natural in front of the camera. Being able to capture these precious moments, the bond between a Mother and Daughter was very special, I will certainly not forget it and I have no doubt Dixie and Camilla will look back on these images years to come and smile.
