Pocahontas – Learning With My Boys

4 Year Old Pocahontas Preschool Photoshoot

The Pocahontas Disney movie is one of my recent favorites, since I have started reading about the history of the United States. We love playing in the dvd player in the car every November to prepare her for her Pocahontas photoshoot!

Pocahontas is a respectful of nature and people. She is always outside with the river or mountains or cornfields. She spends time with her Grandmother Willow and the animals that live with her. Pocahontas tries to teach her new friend how to respect nature as well.

Storm loves nature as well. At school they call her “The Flower Hunter”. She can find wild flowers no matter what season. She also loves being outside and learning about animals too.

We went to a local park to take her Pocahontas photos this year. She wore her beautiful long hair down, to flow in the wind! She also had on a turquoise necklace that I had found at a consignment shop, and her turquoise earrings that we bought last year. She wore her Pocahontas dress that we bought last year after Halloween. I had her wear black leggings since it was colder this time of year than it has in the past. Last, she wore her golden sandals.

Storm has dressed as Pocahontas on November 17 every year of her short life!

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.

We had been watching Disney Pocahontas this fall so she was excited to she herself as the “Pretty Princess”.

Pocahontas loves to explore the outdoors and nature. She’s an adventurous and curious girl who is looking for the right path to follow. She is wise enough to seek the advice of her elder grandmother tree, and stands up for what is right even if it goes against the norm.

Ever since she could walk, Storm also loves being outdoors. She loves to pick flowers and help me in the garden. We will always teach her to follow the ways of the Lord even though most people will disagree with it.

I found this Pocahontas dress at a local resale store after Halloween. I was so excited, it was just in time for her pictures. I just combed her hair straight after her bath and parted it on the side. She also has these turquoise earrings to wear. I placed my blue sheet for the background with Christmas lights behind it to look like a water fall. I just crumpled brown packing paper to place on either side of the waterfall and a brown sheet on the ground. We also used fabric leaves these photos.

Disney’s Pocahontas is a great movie to introduce this real life princess (daughter of the chief). Pocahontas’s dream is to have the courage to walk in another’s footsteps, and she has a cry for peace to stop a war. Of course every Disney princess has a sidekick, and Meeko is such a goofy one.

Princess Pocahontas is such a respectful, daring and bold girl.

I like to sing positive song to her, I sing to her is to the tune of “Mary had a Little Lamb”…

“Storm is a bold girl
Bold girl, bold girl
Storm is a bold girl
She’s my big bold girl”

We went to a local university park on this beautifully warm November day. I brought this fabric sunflower for her to hold.

She wore a super cute fringe romper that I found on Amazon. I added her tan bow for her belt, I just put the bow in the back. Then I found this turquoise necklace that a thrift store and got these tiny turquoise earrings on Amazon. I just parted her hair and put is little braid hanging down.

I chose Disney’s Pocahontas for the November princess since she’s always got leaves blowing around her. I think it would be fun for future Pocahontas pictures.

I tried to fashion a Pocahontas costume from items that she already had. I did find a necklace at the thrift store.

I hung a brown curtain for the background and I found some fabric leaves and made a little river with a blue scarf and some Christmas lights under it.
