5 years of Disney Princess Photoshoots

My beautiful daughter has dressed up as a Disney princess every month for 5 years. When I was pregnant with her, I strategically decided which princess I would photograph each month for the next 5 years. I also started collecting second hand props.

Every August 17, she dressed as Sleeping Beauty (2020-2024).

Every September 17, she dressed as Snow White (2020-2024).

Every October 17, she dressed as Cinderella (2020-2024).

Every November 17, she dressed as Pocahontas (2020-2024).

Every December 17, she dressed as Belle (2020-2024).

Every January 17, she dressed as Elsa (2021-2025).

Every February 17, she dressed as Rapunzel (2021-2025).

Every March 17, she dressed as Jasmine (2021-2025).

Every April 17, she dressed as Tiana (2021-2025).

Every May 17, she dressed as Mulan (2021-2025).

Every June 17, she dressed as Moana (2021-2025).

Every July 17, she dressed as Ariel (2021-2025).

Here are a few of her other photoshoots:

Toddler Jasmine Photoshoot

My granddaughter is 2 years old and she is talking in sentences already. She saw Storm dressing up as Jasmine and asked to be a princess too. So I got out one of Storm’s old dresses for her to try on. She loved it

Jasmine loves her pet tiger, Rajah. We found this one on Amazon.

She wore her  Jasmine costume, and felt like such a “pretty princess”.

I used some curtains and scarves as the back drop and flooring. I also had found some gold vases at the local thrift store. Then I also added the gold beads and golden lantern.

Toddler Moana Photoshoot

My granddaughter is now 2 years old. She is growing up to be such a beauty and getting her own sense of humor.

I love when baby Princess Moana keeps wandering toward the water… she is so cute!

She wore a  Moana toddler dress with a necklace and pigtails.

We went to a local beach lake today. She loves her  stuffed Pua and takes it with her everywhere. I also brought some sea shells and palm leaves for her to hold.

2 Year Old Pink Balloon Photos

Éowyn is 2 years old now, and is a joy to have in our lives. She loves music, sugar, Mickey Mouse, cuddling with Grandma, and playing outside.

Éowyn is very excited for her pink birthday cake. She is a very playful, pretty, and peaceful toddler.

I just blew up lots of different shades of pink balloons and dressed her in the birthday shirt that says “I’m two cute“. I hung a white sheet for the background and used a white toddler size rocking chair.

She knows that she is 2, and held up 2 fingers!

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.

Piano Birthday Cake -1

Éowyn’s 1st Birthday! She is such a contented baby, so smiley and sweet. Her father LOVES music, so they decided to have a music themed party.

Éowyn helped me mix up the chocolate cake, and the buttercream. I made the cake in my Giant Cupcake Pan. I added some crushed Oreo’s to the buttercream. I placed white Kit Kat’s around the bottom half of the giant cupcake. Then I placed smaller Kit Kat’s on the white ones to look like a piano. We sprayed the top of the cake to look purple and blue, and place a Pink Sparkle #1 Candle.

Buttercream Icing

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup Crisco

Storm is so excited to go to her niece’s birthday party! She believes that balloons need to be brought to all birthday parties.

Her dad loves her more than anything, and he was excited to see her dig into her cake.

Happy Birthday, My Love!

Here are some of my other parties:

2 Year Old Tiana Toddler Photos

The Princess and the Frog is fun for her to watch… she loves when Tiana says “Yuck” about kissing a frog!

Princess Tiana is such a sweet girl who know how to work hard for what she wants. What she wants more than anything else, is to fulfil her father’s dream of having a fancy restaurant. Her mother supports her all the way.

Storm is such a sweet and cuddly girl. She says, “hug”, to me dozens of times a day (and night). I want to support her in all of her dreams as well.

She is 2 and a half now and is still learning about princesses. She says, “Pretty” when she gets all dressed up, and runs to the mirror to look at herself. I made this dress with colored tulle tied to the baby stretch crochet hair bands. Then I cut felt and glued it to the front with a big silk lily. We went to a local park with a pond for this photoshoot. I put her hair up with a bun shaper and curled some on the sides of her face. I also made her headband from a Dollar Tree headband and some felt. She wore her  white pearl earrings that I bought when she was a baby. She wore her white dress shoes with the bows and her  white tights. I found a ceramic frog that fit so nicely in her hands.

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.

Baby Jasmine Photoshoot

My granddaughter is 11 months old now. She is about to start walking, which is so exciting for everyone.

I love that Princess Jasmine is concerned with her subjects like her mother was. She wants to help supply them with what they need.

She wore a toddler  Jasmine costume and a blue crown that I had found on Amazon.

I used some curtains and scarves as the back drop and flooring. I also had found some gold vases at the local thrift store. Then I also added the gold beads and golden lantern.

2 Year Old Jasmine Toddler Photos

 Disney’s Aladdin is a hit at our house. Storm’s favorite animal is a tiger. We ask her what animal we will see at the zoo whenever we go. She always says “Tiger”.

Princess Jasmine is a free spirit, loves to be in control of her own life. She doesn’t want to be told what to do or who to marry. At one point she sets the birds free in the castle because she knows how they feel

Storm also loves to be in control, like most toddlers! She thinks that she is the boss and that all of the big people in her life are here to serve her.

I broke down and bought her a brand new Jasmine Costume this year. The rest of the props and back drops are all from thrift shops. I pulled her hair back into 3 spaced pony tails and added the teal headband. She wore her gold earrings  and her sparkly gold flats.

She’s a dancing girl!
