Let's take a walk....

Let's take a walk...

A walk in an old Southern church courtyard created a magnificent feeling for this beautiful little Forgotten Age child. This session will not soon be forgotten - even though the age may be.

Let’s take a walk

Another little girl, Briella came to us for our dress marathon.

Her beautiful long dark hair, dimples and sweet disposition, I felt the midnight blue star dress would be perfect for her. This was a “create as I go” session.  I wanted to do something a little different for her but didn’t know exactly what – until I opened it in my “art room”.

I was on a roll one week with butterflies, kittens and puppies and this one was no different.  Coaxing a Monarch butterfly to light on a little girls finger is not for the impatient– but it is so worth the wait.

After some time later- I decided to take a walk to somewhere in the Old South near a church courtyard.  It is amazing what we can do these days in our digital art room and this is a simple example of that. 

A few weeks later I received a note from Briella’s mother.  It was so very sweet.  And I am glad she was able to be a part of the “Forgotten Age” portrait dress marathon.

Your child (or grandchild) can be too.  Look for my next dress marathon model search.  It may be just the thing you’re looking for.  I can’t wait and neither should you.  We only accept 6 - 8 children for this marathon.  If you want to know first – you may want to subscribe to the newsletter – or follow me on Facebook.  The way things have been going lately with technology – I would suggest the newsletter.

The newsletter only goes out monthly unless something unusual comes up.  The heading will clearly tell you what is in the newsletter.  You can open and read them all – or pick and choose.  However, there are often little hidden nuggets within.

You don’t have to wait for the dress marathon.  We can plan and create the perfect session for your child right away.  Message me and I will be happy to give you more details.

Don’t forget – sometimes you just need to take a walk to find something wonderful!

 

Monarch season

In honor of Monarch butterfly season we created an magical experience in the Art Room of a beautiful little butterfly as it lights on a little girls finger during her Forgotten Age portrait session.
