3 Year Old Belle Preschool Photos

Beauty and the Beast is probably one of my favorite Disney movies, and Storm looked so beautiful in her yellow dress. My husband got me this Chip tea cup for Christmas a couple years ago!

Belle is curious for adventure and is capable of seeing past the rough exterior of the Beast. She is a strong woman who stands up for herself to the gossiping town folk, Gaston, and the Beast. She also gives her life to save her father’s.

I try to teach Storms that beauty is more than skin deep. Storm is also a strong girl who is not afraid of anybody. Bugs, sure she’s afraid; but not of people. She will speak to all people no matter how they look.

Her beautiful yellow dress was given to us when she was a baby, and I’ve been saving it for her. I curled her hair and pulled the top portion of it back into a bun with a bun shaper. Then I wrapped a yellow ribbon around the bun. She wore her gold earrings that have the screw on backings. I made the fire place out of some diaper boxes last Christmas and took the girls pictures in front of it. The Bible that she is holding is my favorite Thomas Kinkade Bible. and the rest of the props came from the local thrift store a few years ago.

Proverbs 31:26 “When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.”

3 Year Old Pocahontas Preschool Photos

Pocahontas is the only Disney princess based on a real person. I love this story; even though it isn’t historically accurate, it is still a fun way to introduce young children to a real princess. The animals made a fun addition as well.

Pocahontas means “Little Mischief”, which fits with her playful and adventurous self. She respects nature and seeks peace for her people. She teaches John Smith about respecting nature and so it can take care for humans as well. And she also tells her father, the chief, that they can live in peace with the Europeans.

Storm is definitely mischievous as well, she also loves to adventure outdoors too. She plays outside as much as possible and is always bringing me nature treasures that she finds.

I found this Pocahontas dress at a local resale store after Halloween. I was so excited, it was just in time for her pictures. She wore her brown sandals. I just combed her hair straight after her bath and parted it on the side. She also has these turquoise earrings to wear. We also used fabric sunflowers in these photos, and shot them in our front yard.

3 Year Old Cinderella Preschool Photos

Disney Cinderella is such a classic fairy tale, and adding all the fun animals make it that much better. She was such a little lady today!

Cinderella is a great role model, showing kids to keep a good attitude even when everything is going badly. Such a mentally strong individual, she is polite and soft spoken when most people would explode. She is kind to animals and even to the people who mistreat her.

She is what I strive for in my own personal life and want to teach my daughter as well. Being elegant in time of torment is something that can only happen with God’s help. Storm is a very kind young lady, and learning everyday how to get along with people who are not so kind.

When we drove up to the location for our photoshoot; she pointed and said, “My castle!” We found her dress at a consignment shop and I bought the gloves, headband, and necklace to go with it. She wore some white flats with sliver flowers. She wore her white pearl earrings and I put her hair up in a bun with a bun shaper. The clock in the background was given to me on Facebook. I sprayed the pumpkins silver and found some ivy to go with them. AND… she loves her star wand!

Isaiah 46:4 says, “I will be your God throughout your lifetime—until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you”.

3 Year Old Snow White Preschool Photos

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the first Disney movie in the animated studios series. Storm just loves it, and can’t even tell that it is so old! She took out some of her Ty Beanie Baby forest animals.

Snow White simply sings when she is experiencing difficulty, she mentally picks herself up and chooses happiness even during the injustices done to her. She is a gentle, trusting girl who loves all living things. She loves mothering the Dwarfs and brings them joy to their daily lives too.

Storm likes to sing and dance as well, and I try to teach her to be gentle with animals and babies as well. She enjoys playing with her babies; feeding them, diapering them, and putting them to bath and bed!

We took these picture in our back yard again this year. She wore a Snow White dress that a friend had given to her. Her shoes are the black flats with a bow and her red earrings are from a multi color pack. We loved these earrings because they have the twist on backing. The red bow in her hair came from a colorful pack of bow that I had bought when she was a baby as well. This oval gold mirror I also found at a resale store several years ago.

Proverbs 17:22 “A cheerful heart is good medicine.”

3 Year Old Sleeping Beauty Preschool Photos

Disney’s Sleeping Beauty is one of Storm’s favorites. Basically any movie with animal friends is admired in our house.

Sleeping Beauty is graceful, elegant, and romantic girl who loves her three “aunts” and her animal friends. She dreams of meeting her prince charming even though she believes that she is just a peasant girl.

I plan to teach Storm that with God all things are possible. We try to model grace and elegance for her as well; we will forever be working on this since she very much is “My Perfect Storm”.

This year we took her Sleeping Beauty pictures in the front yard instead of going to our local Rose Garden like in the past. We bought her this new Sleeping Beauty dress last year and happily it fits again this year. It came with a crown and necklace too. She wore her sparkly white flats with a bow. I curled her hair before we left the house while she ate her lunch. Lastly we put in the gold and pink earrings that I had bought a few years ago for these photoshoots. Then she just held the single red rose too. I was able to get her to lay on a pillow this year and to close her eyes of couple times.

Matthew 16:26 “With God all things are possible.”

3 Year Old Minnie Mouse Photos

This Girl LOVES Mickey and Minnie Mouse. We chose this for her 3 year old birthday theme.

She wore this Minnie Mouse dress and her Gold sparkly Converse shoes for the pictures. She also had her pearl earrings and Minnie Mouse bows. I have these little white rocking chairs that she likes to sit and we just put up a white sheet for the backdrop. Then, of course, she needed some photos with her stuffed Minnie Mouse.

She is 3 years old now and has a friendly adventurous spirit. She doesn’t know a stranger, and loves to talk to anyone we see when we are out and about. She loves her family and enjoys playing outside with them.

I’m 3!

2 Year Old Ariel Toddler Photos

The Little Mermaid is the first Disney movie that I remember loving as a child. Girls just love the idea of mermaids and Storm had such fun feeling like a mermaid for the afternoon.

Ariel is such a curious, romantic and energetic girl. Her father is very protective and loves her very much, but he can’t understand her point of view because of his past experiences. She also loves her Daddy and desperately wants him to know her.

Storm is also a very energetic girl who loves her Daddy too. She loves to be silly with him and enjoys playing hide and seek. She is also very curious, not afraid to explore anything.

We took these photos in the back yard by the garden arches. She also wanted her little pool and bubbles to play with. We put some sea shells in her pool. She wore her Ariel mermaid dress. She also loves her stuffed Flounder. She wore her purple earrings are from a multi color pack with the screw backings. I lightly curled her hair and parted it on the side like Ariel. She’s holding the fork, but didn’t quite know what to do with it!

Deuteronomy 14:2 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

2 Year Old Moana Toddler Photos

Moana was her first favorite Disney princess, she watched it once a day for a few months! She got the stuffed Pua for Christmas.

Moana is such a strong, independent girl who loves her people and will do anything to protect them. She explores the ocean, which she has never gone out into before, and she seeks out a demi-god. She jumps into all kinds of dangerous and scary situations, that others would never dream of; all to help her people.

Of course this 2 year old is also a strong and independent girl. Her favorite phrase is “My Doose”, which means “I can do it”. Each day Storm is learning more about the love of a family. She argues with her 10 years older brother, saying back and for “My Mommy”!

We took these photos in the back yard, since we couldn’t make it to the beach this year. I had made this raft from one side of our old chicken coop when I took her 10 month old Moana photos. I used an old sheet to make the sail and painted Moana’s symbol on it. We also found these sea shells, palm leaves and coconut shells to place on her raft. She loves her stuffed Pua and stuffed Hei Hei too. She wore her Moana dress and necklace, and her pink sea turtle earrings. I braided her hair the night before so that it would be curly today, and pulled the top portion back.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

2 Year Old Mulan Toddler Photos

We took a trip to our local Botanical Gardens for her Mulan pictures this year. She had fun running around outside and playing while we were there.

Mulan is a playful girl who is forced to make a serious decision in order to save her father’s life. She loves her family very much and she wants to honor them all. She tries to bring honor to her family the way that they want, but in the end she brings honor to them in an unexpected way.

Storm is also playful, as most toddlers are. She is a very, VERY energetic girl; we try to direct her energy to a constructive way. I believe that one day she will use her energy to accomplish amazing things, the way that Mulan does.

I couldn’t find a Mulan dress that I liked, so I made this dress with pieces that we have. She wore her black dress shoes and white tights. I braided her hair the night before so it would be a bit wavy , then I parted it on one side. She wore her gold ball earrings.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
