Our studio make-believe sessions last week were a hit again! As usual, I’m a bit behind editing them because of all the work that goes into them, but I sure do love the ones I have done so far! Look at all these gorgeous girls!!

A HUGE thanks to Thomas Orchards for letting us borrow their peach trees to shoot in for these! Everyone should really go down to the gift shop and get yourself some peaches and some peach ice cream. I’ve heard people come from states away to get that ice cream, so you’d better go see them since we’re so darn close! Thanks to everyone who signed up, it was a huge success and I really enjoyed meeting all of your girls!

Hear ye, hear ye! Your majesty’s presence is requested at our elegant fairytale mini sessions at Thomas Orchards.
We have the most gorgeous princess clothing for your little  princess or fairy in size ranges from 2T to 9.

These mini sessions are $50 for one princess or fairy, $25 for each additional royal sibling. Your session fee includes a 30 minute photo session and one digital picture with reprint rights. You will be shown 10-15 images to order from. Email heather@stylizedportraiture.com or call 706.247.5086 to book your session!

3/18 – 3/23 or as long as the blossoms last. All sessions are 5:30pm & 6:15pm

A little while ago, I was contacted by a lady who runs a very unique store on Etsy. She sells gorgeous handmade fairy outfits! Not only are they super duper versatile, but the little details are amazing! She sent me peacocks and an owl, and all of them just blew me away. The wands, the ties, the crowns and ears.. Each little item I unpacked was more magical than the last. I’m overwhelmed at how gorgeous everything was. I just loved all of them!

You can see her store here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MeadowLion1120?ref=seller_info, and she takes custom orders if you’re in the market for something you think he could do but you don’t see it listed.

This little girl.. she has come a long way in pictures. The very first session we ever did for her, I think we got 10 photos, all of them feature her with a sucker in each hand, tears pouring down her face, poor thing. Since then, we’ve done her photos for all of our charity events and she does pretty well for the 5 minutes we have, but no one knew how she’d do for a full session. I’m happy to say that it went great! We trotted around the botanical gardens for her fairytale session. Doesn’t she look amazing in brown?

So I finally got to test drive my brand new chocolate brown gown this evening! This sweetheart is super shy but so so gorgeous. I LOVED to watch her with her little brother because it’s so so plain that she just loves him to bits. He strolled up and patted her dress and said “Oh, so pretty!” and she replies “You should have been born a girl if you wanted to be in the pictures!” This lovely girl did every single thing I asked of her and she is a brilliant princess!

This little girl’s mother says “Oh, she’s pure magic. Everyone falls in love with her.” It’s so so true. Meet Chloe. She’s the winner of this year’s Memorial Princess Session. Her nominator wrote “Our Honored Hero for the Athens Leukemia/Lymphoma Society is a 3-yr old girl named Chloe. She was born with Downs Syndrome and at the age of 2 was diagnosed with leukemia.  After 6 months in the hospital, she is now in remission!  I don’t know her last name, but I’m copying the LLS representative on this email so that she can send you the info.  Chloe would be a wonderful choice for your princess because she is one of those “self-rescuing princesses” that should be in more fairy tales.  She’s joyful and loves to sing and dance.  She is just a kid, regardless of how much she’s survived…she’s just a sweet little kid.“

Tonight’s session was super super fun. She laughed and bounced through the session and I found myself giggling so much my stomach muscles hurt! Her daddy flew his little tinkerbell all over the gardens, her mommy blew her kisses and her sister played ball with her and everyone (including me) loved her to bits. She really IS a self-rescuing princess, and the world needs more of her for sure.
