Vintage Love

I will confess that I love all things vintage and also that I am a prop junkie. Most of my things were inherited but I have a crazy idea that may come to fruition one day that I could have a photography prop rental business along with my love of photography. To be able to rent props I have to build up my inventory, right? That is the excuse I use anyway. However, I have tried to limit myself somewhat with the caveat that my props have to be used in my home decor. I found the vintage globe awhile back and have wanted to use it for something that just collecting dust. I threw together my starfish and some sand, glitter and seashells in mason jars and voila! Somewhat eclectic but I love how this photo session turned out with the yellow dress that I just adore and is on it's way to being too small so perfect time to torture my princess with more photos. We headed outside to cozy up with one of my prized possessions: my antique crazy quilt made from silk neckties. Obtained at one of my favorite antiques stores up in Pennsylvania over 15 years ago. It also had been collecting dust hanging on the wall. I am glad I took it down and cuddled Miss "S" up.

Twinkle, Twinkle...

Twinkle, twinkle it's a little princess. I threw together this little mini session for two reasons. The first reason was to test out the twinkle light background I had read about and the second reason was to capture a few shots of the the lace crown I made to match Miss "S" and her current favorite dress. My little princess was in rare form and did the cutest poses on her own. This will probably not be repeated but c'est la vie.

 

Miss "S" Winter Wonderful

I wanted to get some photos done of Miss "S" in the super cute sweater and boots that I finally broke down and bought this year. I had searched for somewhere close to the house and finally found a field right down the road in the back of a subdivision. After the frustration of another failed attempt at getting some photos of a three-year old that was not interested in taking photos, I decided it was time to find someone to help me. I asked the daughter of a good friend of mine to assist me in getting the photos I envisioned and it was the best session I have ever done. After a bit of exploration near the tall grass at the back of the field we found some trails that had been cut through the grass and the light was so awesome! Even though it was mid-morning, it was filtered by the trees making for some great shots. Love, love, love them!
