Well it's a wrap. The final image of our photo shoot with Innie Minnie Closet. If you haven't checked out her store for gorgeous little girls' dresses, then you are missing out big time. They are nothing less thank exquisite. The photoshoot went really well and the little girls were nothing but sweet and adorable and so fun to chase around the Washington Arboretum trying to get good pictures of.
