Belle session

Love doesn’t have to be perfect, its just needs to be true.

Belle session.

The dress.

Last fall I was lucky enough to get “Belle” dress on really good sale. Of course with “Beauty and the Beast” movie coming out, this seemed like a great time to try it out for Belle session. I have decided to try hand painting a backdrop that would work for a  Belle session. While this backdrop is not perfect by any means, it was a great experience to hand paint one and I think it works. Making my own props is important to me, because its the only way to have unique sessions.

The session.

I am very happy with the way Belle session turned out. I was going for dreamy, slightly whimsy portrait session. My main goal was to deliver princess experience to this little girl and for her to have an image that she can hold on to. I try to stay away from too many objects and focus on my subject. I chose props that represent Belle the best: roses and books.

And yay-the GIVEAWAY.

Oh yay, a giveaway! I have decided to celebrate release of ” Beauty and the Beast” movie and give away Belle session to a lucky little girl. I will randomly select a winner and they will receive a session and 5 edited digital images with print release. Please note Belle session is only available to girls between 2(must be over 2) and 5 (must be under 5) years old,due to size of a dress. To enter you must subscribe to newsletter, because that is where I will announce the winner. Newsletter is released monthly and only offers great deals and giveaways just like this. Please fill out the form below(if you did not receive confirmation email,please check spam folder) and don’t forget to like my page on Facebook.

    Oh my goodness. I’m in LOVE with that last full length portrait! What an incredible, empowering feeling for this little girl — not only is she a princess, but one that will encourage her to read and to be true to herself.

    Very beautiful and touching work!
