This was really fun :D.
You see, Lydia Covey (the sweet faced blonde you see below ๐ ) is going to Colorado for part of the summer. So, Sarah Jarvis (the gal in the middle of the picture above) thought a surprise going-away party was an excellent idea. And it was! We had a splendid time :D.
At the end of the day, Sarah let each of us take home a little cluster of roses from this bouquet :).
She went SO out, it looked like a wedding reception :D.
The brunch was delicious.
Then we had a GRAND time walking down the road and taking pictures :D.
Now I’ll finish introducing everyone :). First there’s Sophie Covey; she’s Lydia’s younger sister :). Then of course Lydia whom I’ve already introduced. Sarah, same thing. And then there are the Ramsey sisters: Johanna and Emma :). Aren’t they all gorgeous?! I had so much fun taking pictures of them :D.
They’re a happy bunch :D.
Had to take a “band” picture ;).
Then I risked my camera’s life and set it on the road to do some self timer shots so I could be in the group! ๐
Sophieeeee, you look gorgeous!
Sarah looking so pretty and happy as always :D.
And here’s lovely Emma :D. (Oh, and Sarah made that pin that’s in her hair, by the way ๐ ).
Emma, you have such a sweet smile :D.
It was a lovely day :).
With a smile,

Rachel!! Thanks so much for sharing!! I was so excited to see your pictures… They are SO lovely, and I am thrilled that the special day was documented. ๐
Oh, the bright memories these pictures bring back! I think my favorite part had to be popping up from behind the couch, singing Lydia's 'going away song', and the uncontrollable giggling that was inevitable almost the entire day. ๐ Oh– and the coffee and cupcakes! Can't forget those. ๐ ๐
What a blessing it was to be with you all that day! Thank you for beautifully capturing the day Rachel and sharing with us! …looking forward to the 'welcome home' party. ๐
