Victorian parents hiding in pictures to keep their babies still long enough for a portrait [20 pics]

So anyone sitting for a portrait had to be able to sit still for at least a minute or so.

At that time, she had no intention of beginning a project of any size. Since then she has returned multiple times a year, every year, solely to take pictures.
