Disney’s Sleeping Beauty is fun because of the 3 good fairies. They make the movie fun, and Storm likes to rewatch their songs.
Princess Aurora is full of the grace and beauty that the fairies blessed her with. She also loves her aunts and desires to have a romantic love as well. She unknowingly meets the prince and falls in love with him. In the end it is his kiss that breaks the spell of her deep sleep.
Storm doesn’t red, let alone sleep. She is awake for hours in the middle of each night, and can go go go all day long. She is definitely learning what love is and tries to give us toddler kisses often.
We went to our local Rose Garden to take her pictures again this year. She wanted to touch all of the roses, but we were at a public rose garden so I tried to keep her from grabbing them. One of the gardeners cut a rose just for her to match her dress and brought it over to give to her.
We bought her this new Sleeping Beauty dress on Amazon, and we love it. It came with a crown and necklace too. I curled her hair before we left the house, and it was gorgeous. 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.
Psalm 4:8 “In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety”.
Below she is Sleeping Beauty 1 year apart in each photo…

Disney’s The Little Mermaid was one of my favorites as a child. Ariel’s dream is to be part of the humans world, and she even saves a human from drowning. Of course every Disney princess has an animal sidekick, and Flounder is such a fun one.
Princess Ariel is an extremely fierce, free-spirited and curious girl.
One of the songs that I sing to her is to the tune of “Mary had a Little Lamb”…
“Storm is a curious girl Curious girl, curious girl Storm is a curious girl She’s my curious girl”
Isaiah 27:1 “In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword— his fierce, great and powerful sword— Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea.”
Disney’s Moana is currently her favorite movie… she watches it almost everyday! Moana’s dream is to one day go beyond the reef, she ends up sailing across the ocean to return the heart of Te Fiti. Of course every Disney princess has an animal sidekick, and Heihei is such an entertaining one.
Princess Moana is daring, strong and brave leader.

We went to a nearby lake with a beach to take the photos this year. Last year I made this sail from 2 old pieces from out chicken coop and an old sheet that I had. I just used a staple gun to attach it. Storm enjoyed waving the palm leaves
Disney’s Mulan is not as exciting for a toddler, but she does like the songs in the movie. Mulan’s dream is to bring honor to her family, and she ends up doing that by saving the Emperor from the Huns. Of course every Disney princess has an animal sidekick, and Mushu is such a silly one.
Mulan is a brave, courageous and fearless girl.

“Storm is a brave girl Brave girl, brave girl Storm is a brave girl She’s my big brave girl”
We went to a local park that had some small Chinese stone structures that were just the right size so she could stand beside. We also found a Japanese Maple tree while we were there. She also loved walking over the bridge. She brought some little pink flower bouquet as well.
I couldn’t find a Mulan dress small enough for her, so I used a yellow dress that we had and put a green sweater over it. Then I made a belt out of thick ribbons. She wore her black dress sandals. I left her hair down and parted it on one side. She also wore her gold ball earrings.
Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Disney’s The Princess and the Frog is not one of my favorites because I really don’t like the shadow man, but I do love Tiana’s ambition. Tiana’s dream is to open her very own restaurant, but to become human again she has to brave the bayou to break the shadow man’s curse. Of course every Disney princess has an animal sidekick, and Ray is such a loyal one.
Tiana is an ambitious, hardworking, and humble girl.
One of the songs that I sing to her is to the tune of “Mary had a Little Lamb”…
“Storm is a humble girl Humble girl, humble girl Storm is a humble girl She’s my humble girl”
We went to a local park to take her Tiana pictures. We found this little gazebo by a pond. She had a rubber frog to kiss. We also had some Mardi Gras necklaces and a small brass horn for her to play with.
Disney’s Aladdin was one of my favorites as a kid. Jasmine’s dream is to explore a whole new world, but first she has to fight Jafar to save her family. Of course every Disney princess has an animal sidekick, and Rajah is Storm’s favorite.
Princess Jasmine is an nice, inclusive, and generous girl.
One of the songs that I sing to her is to the tune of “Mary had a Little Lamb”…
“Storm is a nice girl Nice girl, nice girl Storm is a nice girl She’s my nice, nice girl”
The background and props are all from thrift shops. I found curtains and scarves and placed them for the backdrop and floor, then they added some pillows, gold jars and lantern.
Disney’s Tangled is a family fun movie. Rapunzel’s dream is to see the floating lanterns, but first she will have to escape the tower. Of course every Disney princess has an animal sidekick, and Pascal is such a playful one.
Princess Rapunzel is a enthusiastic, passionate, and happy girl.
I like to sing an affirming song to her, I sing to her is to the tune of “Mary had a Little Lamb”…
“Storm is a happy girl Happy girl, happy girl Storm is a happy girl She’s my happy, happy girl”
I hung a purple curtain from the background and made a banner to hand across it. I used my homemade cardboard stone wall that we used in our X-Men Trunk-or-Treat for part of her background as well. Then I found a candle lantern and some flowers for her to play with too. Her tiny frying pan with the sun star painted on it was a great prop for today. I found some giant scissors and some cut blond hair from an old doll to put on the floor! She loves to stroke my hair whenever I hold her, she also twirls her own hair while she falls to sleep.
She looked so pretty in her Rapunzel dress and Rapunzel bow in her princess bow set. She also wore her purple earrings from her multi color pack earrings.
Psalm 68:3 “But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.”

Disney’s Frozen is a family fun movie. Elsa’s dream is to keep her family safe, and she save’s the kingdom from a flood. Of course every Disney princess has a sidekick, and Olaf is such a thoughtful one.

Our new Husky pup joined in on her pictures! It actually snowed the weekend that she turned 17 months old… this was perfect for our Frozen Elsa pictures. She took her Stuffed Olaf out with us, and I found this tiny wooden sled at the thrift store. I got the big silver snowflake at the dollar store too.
