Preschool Photography – Learning With My Boys

Preschool Mulan Photoshoot

My granddaughter is 3 years old and loves to dress up as a princess. This month we chose Moana from Disney’s Mulan because I think of Chinese and Japanese pink flower trees blooming in May. Also, her dress is yellow and green which makes me think of May flowers.

Princess Mulan is a courageous, independent, resourceful, thoughtful, and a tomboy 16 year old girl from an Imperial Chinese Dynasty. Her sidekick is Mushu a Chinese Dragon.

Mulan quote: “My name is Mulan! I did it to save my father.”

2 Peter 3:18 states, “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”

We went to a local park today to take her Mulan pictures. She held some pink flowers and a red fan. She wore a red Chinese Cheongsam, sparkly black leggings, her black dress shoes, and the “Moana” hair bow from this Disney Princess Bow Pack.

4 Year Old Mulan Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s Mulan is such a great movie for teaching independence. We love playing Mulan in the dvd player in the car every May to prepare her for her Mulan photoshoot!

Princess Mulan wants nothing more than to bring honor to her family while protecting them. She has to disobey her family in order to protect them, but in the end she brings honor to them and to her country.

Storm also wants to please her family. She is constantly asking us if she is a good girl, or if we love her. She is constantly telling me that I am doing a good job. I believe that her love language is words of affirmation like her fathers!

Storm wore her Mulan Dress for Girls. We just combed her hair straight after her bath and then parted it slightly. Her shoes are the white strap sandals and her gold earrings. We went to a local park today to take her Mulan pictures. She held some pink flowers and a green fan that came with her dress.

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Storm has dressed as Mulan on May 17 every year of her short life!

Preschool Tiana Photoshoot

My granddaughter is 3 years old and loves to dress up as a princess. This month we chose Tiana from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog because I think of ponds and frogs in spring. Also, her dress is green and in April everything is finally green again!

Princess Tiana is an inspiring, ambitious, determined, resilient, and hardworking 19 year old girl from New Orleans. Her sidekick is Ray a Cajun firefly.

Tiana quote: “It serves me right for wishing on stars. The ONLY way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.”

James 1:17 states, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

We went to a local park that had a pond and small gazebo for this photoshoot. She wore her Walmart Tiana Sweater Dress with the Watermelon Birthday Party tutu and a and her white dress shoes with the “Tiana” hair bow from this Disney Princess Bow Pack.

3 Year Old Flowers Photos

Éowyn is 3 years old now, and is growing and learning so much each and every day. She loves spending time with her family, playing with her baby dolls, eating sweets, and water play.

Éowyn is very excited for her birthday party… this is the first year that she understands that the day is all about her. She talks about opening her birthday gifts and being 3!

She wore a brightly colored dress with flowers on it, and we took advantage of the Easter flower display at church to take her pictures.

4 Year Old Tiana Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s The Princess and the Frog is not one of my favorites, because I do not like the shadow man, but I do love Tiana’s character. We play The Princess and the Frog in the dvd player in the car every April to prepare her for her Tiana photoshoot!

Princess Tiana is a hardworking beauty who believes that she can do anything with hard work and dedication. Her father tells her at the beginning of the movie that family is what really matters, and by the end of the movie, she remembers this lesson.

My Little Storm also loves her family and is always hugging each of us. She will also tell us each one at a time right after one another that she loves us… “Mommy, I love you”, “Daddy, I love you”, “Brother, I love you”, etc…

We went to a local park that had a pond and small gazebo for this photoshoot. She wore her new Tiana dress and I put her hair up with a bun shaper and curled some on the sides of her face. She wore her green earrings are from a multi color pack that I bought when she was a baby. She wore her white strap sandals too.

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

4 Year Old Jasmine Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s Aladdin is super enjoyable for Storm, her favorite animal is a tiger. We love playing Aladdin in the dvd player in the car every March to prepare her for her Jasmine photoshoot!

Princess Jasmine is such a loving and generous girl. She loves her subjects and wants to help them from the youngest to the oldest. She tries to help the small children to get an apple at the beginning of the movie, and loves that Aladdin gives away gold coins during his parade.

Storm is also a very generous girl. She is always thinking of her little niece whenever she gets a special treat or prize. She wants to bring a treat or prize to her too!

She wore the Jasmine Costume that I found on Amazon. The rest of the props and back drops are all from thrift shops. I pulled her hair back into 3 spaced pony tails. She wore her gold earrings and went barefoot today. She also had her large stuffed tiger to look like Rajah.

1 John 3:17 “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?”

4 Year Old Rapunzel Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s Tangled is such a fun and silly movie that Storm loves. We love playing Tangled in the dvd player in the car every February to prepare her for her Rapunzel photoshoot!

Princess Rapunzel is such a fun and silly girl. She finds things to love and have fun in all situations. She is has to stand up for herself against the only person that she has ever known before. But she gains true love and a family for her bravery.

Storm is also a silly girl who proves her bravery over and over again. She is not afraid of anything and always wants to lead and do things by herself. We try to teach her to make the most of every situation as well.

We took these pictures in the kitchen with a purple curtain as the backdrop and the stone wall that I made for our X-Men Trunk-or-Treat. I painted a sun on the tiny frying pan when she was a baby for her Baby Rapunzel photos, I printed out a picture of Flynn Rider on some resume paper to give it an old look, and I found this neat candle lantern at a thrift store. We also added some fun pink flowers. She is wearing a Rapunzel dress with white tights. I combed her hair straight after her back and parted it on the side. She wore her purple earrings are from a multi color pack that I bought when she was a baby.

Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it..”

4 Year Old Elsa Preschool Photoshoot

I feel like Frozen is every girls favorite. She is starting to learn the songs now. We love playing Frozen it in the dvd player in the car every January to prepare her for her Elsa photoshoot!

Elsa is a powerful princess. She is learning how to control her powers and doesn’t want to hurt her family while she figures it out. She will do anything to protect her sister from getting hurt by her powers, even isolate herself from Anna. I love that the “one true love” at the end of the movie is the sister rather than the boy this time.

Storm also loves her family and tells me several times a day “Mom,” waits for me to answer and says, “I love you!” She is learning everyday too, and discovering new strengths as she grows.

We took her Elsa pictures in the front yard after out biggest snow ever. We had 17 inches in 24 hours! She wore an Elsa dress that someone had given to us last year with a crown that we found with blue hearts. She wore boots this year because of so much snow, and she wore her blue earrings are from a multi color pack that I bought when she was a baby. I put a loose braid in her hair and tried to put it over their shoulder. She wanted to bring out her giant stuffed Olaf and some snowflakes that we had.

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

4 Year Old Belle Preschool Photoshoot

Beauty and the Beast is one of her favorites, for some reason she is fascinated with the Beast. She is starting to love all of the songs as much as I do too! We love playing Beauty and the Beast in the dvd player in the car every December to prepare her for her Belle photoshoot!

Belle is an adventurous girl who loves to read to experience excitement. She loves her father and friends more than anything, and will do anything to protect them. She is brave, bold and brilliant!

Storm is also adventurous, and brave. She is not afraid to wander in unknown places, and often explores with me following behind. We read books every night, hoping that she will develop a natural love of books as well.

We took her Belle pictures outside for the first time this year, since it got up to 50 degrees today. We just went into the yard and brought her props with us. 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 got this old book at one of our library book sales. The Chip Mug was given to me as a Christmas gift a few years back. The mirror and rose just came from out local dollar store.

Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

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.
