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.

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.

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 Snow White Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is such a fun and silly movie that Storm loves. We love playing in the dvd player in the car every September to prepare her for her Snow White photoshoot!

The 7 Dwarfs have such a fun and silly time with Snow White, bringing out her motherly side. They care about her so much that they, even Grumpy, warns her to be careful of letting anyone into the house. Snow White loves taking care of them and their house, cleaning, cooking, and loving all 7 dwarfs.

My Little Storm loves being silly and she also loves being my helper in the kitchen and watching her little niece. She is still learning what it means to be a diligent worker and to be aware of strangers. She loves EVERYONE that she meets and doesn’t know a stranger! I pray that one day she will grow up learning to love like Snow White and to make the best in all circumstances.

We took these pictures out in our backyard near the woods. She loves being outside and goes out every chance that she gets. She wore her Snow White dress that I found at the resale shop after last Halloween! Her shoes are the black flats with a bow and her earrings are from a multi color pack that I bought when she was a baby. We loved these earrings because they have the twist on backing and she wore the red earrings today. The red bow in her hair came from a colorful pack of bow that I had bought when she was a baby as well. This oval gold mirror I also found at a resale store several years ago. I used the wooden brown basket to put her apples in. I always buy Red Delicious because they look the most red like in the movie.

Proverbs 31:25 She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.

3 Year Old Ariel Preschool Photos

Disney’s The Little Mermaid came out when I was a preteen, and therefore I loved the movie and still sing all of the songs when my daughter watches it. She was very careful not to let her Flounder Plush get wet!

Ariel is such a romantic and adventurous girl. She risks everything for a chance at adventurous love with a human. She loves her daddy and friends so much, and in the end her father gives her the best of both worlds.

Storm loves her daddy so much too. When she watches The Little Mermaid, she is very concerned when King Triton gets so angry that he destroys Ariel’s tavern. She tries to be adventurous, claiming “I do it” as much as possible. But she is still very cautions when she feels like she might be hurt or uncomfortable.

We went to play at a local beach for the day. We brought some seashells and a fork to play with in the sand. She wore an Ariel dress that was given to her last year. We just combed her hair straight after her bath and parted it on the side. She wore the purple colored her earrings are from a multi color pack that I bought when she was a baby. 

Psalm 32:8 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”

3 Year Old Moana Preschool Photos

She has loved the Disney Moana movie since she was a year old. She loves cuddling with her stuffed Hei Hei and Pua that she got for Christmas.

I like that Moana is a leader of her people seeking to do what is best for them. This requires her to display some extremely brave actions in the movie such as sailing through an endless ocean, confronting a demi-god, and jumping into the realm of monsters.

My Girl is definitely a leader as well; she insist on leading the way as we walk anywhere, even if she doesn’t know where we are going! And I am trying to raise her to be brave as well.

When she was a baby, 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. We went to a nearby lake with a beach to take the photos this year. We braided her wet hair the night before and when we took out the braids she had pretty tight curls, I just pulled the top portion back into a pony tail. Her earrings are the pink sea turtle earrings that she got for her last birthday. She placed her seashells exactly how she wanted them. Storm enjoyed waving the palm leaves today while shouting, “Hosanna!”

Joshua 1:9 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

My granddaughter also joined us in our Moana fun. She is 2 years old and Storm is 3 years old. She is wearing the baby girl Moana dress that Storm wore a couple of years ago, and Storm is wearing the toddler girl Moana dress that we found a a garage sale!

3 Year Old Mulan Preschool Photos

We enjoy visiting our local Botanical Gardens Chinese festival days to take her Disney Mulan photos. She really enjoyed exploring the Botanical Gardens as I followed her taking pictures. I really enjoy my Canon EOS Rebel camera.

Mulan is a super independent, courageous woman. She tries to honor her father in the way that he expects, but she discovers that she can honor him in a whole new way that takes courage and independence.

Storm is also a very independent individual, constantly saying “My doos it!” She loves to play outside as much as possible and I encourage her to have courage whenever she sees a bug or jumps in the water.

We rarely purchase a brand new dress for her princess photoshoots, but this is one of the times that she did get a new dress (Mulan Dress for Girls). She loved looking at herself in the mirror before we left the house to see the “pretty princess”. We just combed her hair straight after her bath and then parted it slightly. Her shoes are the black flats with a bow and her earrings are from a multi color pack that I bought when she was a baby.

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