11 Month Old Ariel Baby Photos

I chose Disney’s The Little Mermaid  for the July princess because we could take pictures at the beach for future Ariel Photos too. We got a chance to visit the Pacific Ocean this month, so it worked out great.

She wore her baby princess Ariel dress with her pearl earrings. I put her hair a red bow and she went barefooted today.

We went to Seattle and visited the ocean one day so I could take her pictures. I brought a fork and some  sea shells for props that she could play with.

I used my EOS 2000D Canon Rebel Camera to take her princess photos.

10 Month Old Moana Baby Photos

I chose Disney’s  Moana  for the June princess because it is such a great summer movie and we could take pictures at the beach in future Moana Photos.

She wore her baby Princess Moana dress with her small gold ball earrings. I put her hair in the Moana princess bow and she went barefooted today.

I made a raft from the side piece of our old chicken coop and then I painted a sail on an old sheet and stapled it to a board. I had some  sea shells and palm leaves for props along with a coconut and flowers.

I used my EOS 2000D Canon Rebel Camera to take her princess photos. I also use my softbox photography lighting and backdrop rod to help.

Wings of Fire Nutella Cake -11

My son is crazy about the Wings of Fire book series AND Nutella. He loves dragons so I did my best to make him a dragon on a castle cake!

I made a chocolate cake mix and added a cup of Nutella, I also mixed Nutella into the frosting.

I just used chocolate bars and Nutella Oreo’s to make the castle with chocolate frosting. Then I made the dragon from my marshmallow fondant recipe.

Marshmallow Fondant Recepie

Ingredients:

  • 16 oz. Mini Marshmallows
  • 3 TBSP water
  • 2 lbs Powdered Sugar (4 cups)
  • Crisco

Directions:

  1. Grease a large glass bowl with Crisco.
  2. Pour in the marshmallows and water; then microwave at 30- second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted.
  3. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Place the red of the powdered sugar in a large bowl of a standing mixer.
  4. Grease the paddle attachment with Crisco and pour in the melted marshmallows on top of the powdered sugar.
  5. Beat until a dough form; there will be a lot of loose bits and sugar in the bottom of the bowl.
  6. Grease a clean work surface with Crisco and dump out the fondant and all the loose bits. Grease your hands liberally with Crisco and knead the mixture together, just like kneading bread, for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  7. Grease hands again as needed. As the fondant becomes smoother, use the reserved powdered sugar to coat the surface to keep it from sticking.
  8. Once smooth, you can divide and color the fondant. While working with one piece, cover the remaining fondant with plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.
  9. When you have your colors finished coat the fondant in a light layer or Crisco; wrap in plastic wrap and place in a large baggie for at least an hour, preferably overnight.
  10. Store at room temperature for several months. To us it, dust the surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar and roll out to 1/8 of an inch.

He is such a sweet, empathetic, brilliant, loving boy!

9 Month Mulan Baby Photos

I chose Disney’s Mulan  for the May princess because I think of Japanese trees with blooming cherry blossoms in May. I think that taking future Mulan pictures with the flowers.

I tried to fashion a Mulan type dress from some clothes that she already had, since I wasn’t able to find a tiny Mulan dress for her! I put her hair in piggy buns and she wore her small gold ball earrings.

I hung a blue curtain as the background and placed a green table cloth on the floor. I found the fans and pink cherry blossom flowers and other props at the local thrift shop.

I used my EOS 2000D Canon Rebel Camera to take her princess photos. I also use my softbox photography lighting and backdrop rod to help.

8 Month Tiana Baby Photos

I chose Disney’s The Princess and the Frog  for the April princess since it’s spring and we could take a trip to the lake! This will be helpful for future Tiana Photos too.

I tried to fashion a Tiana type dress from some clothes that she already had, since I wasn’t able to find a tiny Tiana dress for her! I put in the Tiana bow from the  princess bow set, and she wore her small gold ball earrings.

We went to the lake and I brought a small green blanket and a rubber frog to kiss.

I used my EOS 2000D Canon Rebel Camera to take her princess photos. I also use my softbox photography lighting and backdrop rod to help.

8 Month April Bubbles Baby Photos

8 months old and moving all over now! I love being creative with her! This April I found this cute tub and added some bubbles and rubber ducks for this photo shoot!

We took a trip to the park and found this fence to take a few more pictures with the tub! I just love the way they turned out even though it was hard for her to smile with the sun in her eyes.

I tried to add the bubbles outside too, but it was much too windy for them to stick around for too long.

She loved being outside and the bubbles too.
