If you meet Grace you’ll know for sure that she doesn’t need to have wings to know she is truly an angel. She has this gentle sweetness in the way she looks, moves, and talks. She is not shy, she is just sweet natured, kind, and very smart! So when styling for her it was easy to choose what kind of session suited her. Sweet Angel!
So I began looking for the wings…not just any wings, but the perfect wings. I wanted them to let light pass through…and after looking and researching on the internet not finding exactly what I wanted I decided to go to a local craft store and make them myself. To my surprise, they had one pair of the exact one I had envision in my mind and I couldn’t be happier… Now to do her head piece… Again, not just any other silvery halo, but my love for textures and organic things drove me to these vines and glass beads that hung loose on her head making it look soft and natural. Add grandma’s handmade dress for her little granddaughter and I had the cutest almost too real little angel!
She glowed! Literally! Her wings, her dress, her hair, and the surrounding grass caught the sunlight and as I asked her to twirl. I couldn’t stop taking pictures in awe at the heavenly sight right in front of me…she was a little angel playing in the meadow!
In order to keep the magic I gave her a lantern. She didn’t know, but I had put a little LED light inside and we were pretending that it was a fairy. She was fascinated! She would ask me all about the fairy she was holding inside the lantern and when to let it loose! Too cute! I’m always amazed at the ability of little kids to embrace this imaginary world and let it soar…we need to be like that sometimes…she remind me of that 🙂 It was a great opportunity to get some more amazing shots. For the pictures that she is “praying” she is actually holding the light in her hands and peeking at the fairy.
And of course reflections! I am a reflection freak! I often use tiny puddles for reflections! This pool was the perfect way to end the session. What better than to have two perfect little angels. 🙂
