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!!

“I Tinkerbell! I Tinkerbell!” That’s what I heard over and over last night for the fairytale session for this little sweetie. She popped out of the car and she says “I Tinkerbell!”, got the dress on and threw her arms up and cheered “I Tinkerbell!”, walked a few steps and I hear from behind me… “I Tinkerbell!”. She has the sweetest most perky little voice too, it’s adorable.

For the first time in 128 YEARS, Georgia got a white Christmas. That’s right, the last one was in 1882! I always said that snow princess sessions are a wish of mine, and yesterday I finally got to do a few of them thanks to some bored mommies watching facebook! It was FREEZING. Granted, it’s snow, hello.. but the wind whipping up off the fields was tough for these poor girls. We took turns hustling them into and out of the warm cars, but brrrrr!

I had this session on my head for weeks, honestly. I was originally going to  do it with white glitter snowflakes, you know.. the cheap ones that come 20 to a pack anywhere? Except that when I went to go look for the ones I’d saved for years, I couldn’t find them. So.. then I went to go get some, only no one had them! I went to Hobby Lobby looking for them and found nothing, so I went looking about for other things I could use… I stumbled over some garland that looked like ice, but it was all tangled together. So after about 30 minutes in the aisle trying to untangle it, I just scooped it all up and got some silver pipe cleaners and went home to untangle it. About 2 hours of cutting and untangling, I had it! Then I just had to make about 20 silver snowflakes… yeah. I just didn’t know which one I’d like better, and I still don’t!! How about you, which do you like best?

At any rate, mister man here is just 6 days old. Isn’t he gorgeous??

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?

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.
