“Ballet is like dreaming on your feet.”
Tiny feet, graceful hands, chubby cheeks, and a whole lot of stars! Baby ballerinas in cutsie little tutus are the most adorable sight. That was the theme chosen for a farewell nanny session. Yes, a very special nanny farewell session, and when you see the photographs you’ll know why. This nanny is the sweetest girl, playmate, and storyteller for these ballerina sisters. The girl’s parents wanted to do something super special for her before her moving far away, so we created the perfect outdoors playdate for them to come and play.
I started thinking about this set a long time ago. Gathering ideas, props, and outfits that would recreate a ballerina’s playroom with lots of beautiful tutus to play dress up, books to read, and soft dolls to play with. My mind will obsess by time to time until the right client comes into the studio wanting to do something different, something unique, something special for their little ones. This family was immediately drawn to the idea, they loved the concept and the colors. It was a perfect match and it was so much fun to put it together. We created the tent and some of the stuffed dolls and pillows. Don’t’ get the idea I’m that gifted with sewing, my youngest daughter is, though, she made the little moon and clouds with their cute sleepy faces. I’ve been wanting a dress rack forever, and my amazing husband was able to make it for me for this session. Oh, and the wood toy camera, isn’t it so cool? The toy camera was a total hit for these little girls to play with. I love to custom create an interactive playset like this one. It not only gives a child an amazing playful set up for photographs, but it also gives them a REAL, GENUINE, DAYDREAMING experience, thus their real, genuine, daydreaming expressions. And that’s what you as a mom want to remember about your children’s childhood.
