Preschool Belle Photoshoot

My granddaughter is 3 years old and loves to dress up as a princess. This month we chose Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast because I love the snow scene. Also, her snow dress is red white makes me think of Christmas.

Princess Belle is a loyal, intelligent, passionate, generous, book loving 17 year old girl from France. Her sidekick is Lumiere an enchanted candlestick meaning “light”.

Belle quote: “I want adventure in the great, wide somewhere.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 states, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.”

She wore her beautiful yellow dress, with the “Belle” hair bow from this Disney Princess Bow Pack. I made the fire place out of some diaper boxes last Christmas and took the girls pictures in front of it. I hung a gold curtain for the backdrop and used my homemade cardboard stone floor that we used in our X-Men Trunk-or-Treat. 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.

Here are some more of my toddler and preschool photoshoots:
