What special Day Dreamer session can you do when you have to photograph a very playful set of twins brother and sister? Well, how about the story of Little Red Riding Hood? I mean, what brother wouldn’t jump at the idea of being allowed to be the wolf and scare his sister? This is exactly what twins Gabriel and Gabriela did.
I couple of months ago I found a fun wolf cap and I couldn’t resist getting it. I had no idea what exactly I was going to do with it other than wear it while editing pics…weird you say? Ah, yes! You’ll find me doing that kind of stuff if you come visit me at my studio unexpectedly (I wouldn’t have time to take it off, lol) It helps me get in touch with my “inner child”.
His mother warned me that Gabriel is a little shy and might not be as “cooperating” as his sister would. So when I get to meet and know a little bit more about this twins it just hit me! He will be my perfect wolf! I would give him and opportunity to “hide” under the cap and not to have to be aware or conscious about the camera. As he got into the pretend world, his imagination was set free! He pretended and played and enjoyed it so much that we were all surprised by his acting skills. He was completely transformed from a shy boy into a most talented actor! Not only played the Wolf part, but also played the Huntsman by his own initiative! Not bad for a “shy” boy, huh!
Gabriela has a beautiful skin tone and dark hair. I knew she would look stunning with a bright red color hood. So I got the most richly red and luxurious velvet material to make this beautiful hood. (You’ll probably see me wearing it at my studio too! Shh! Don’t tell anyone!) She is naturally graceful and delicate as you can see in the pics. She gave me the most gorgeous looks without me even asking her.
The little house in the woods was perfect setting for this session and I have an obsession for dry trees. I think they photograph beautifully and give an eerie feel to the story.
Children photography should be fun, natural, memorable and yes, even theatrical…enjoy!
