Outside Photoshoot – Learning With My Boys

4 Year Old Cinderella Preschool Photoshoot

Disney’s Cinderella is such a sweet movie that reminds us all to be kind in all situations. We love playing in the dvd player in the car every October to prepare her for her Cinderella photoshoot!

Cinderella is kind and gentle in all situations. The animals love her because she is so gentle with them, and she truly cares about them. The mice and birds also love her, helping to prepare her dress for the ball. All off the animals help with her coach going to the ball as well.

Storm truly cares about her loved ones as well. Every day when she eats something yummy she sets a small bit aside to save for when her niece comes over (even if it is days away). She is an empathetic girl as well. Whenever I am not feeling well or hurt myself (even if I just stub my toe), she rushes to me to find out how she can help. Mostly giving lots of hugs and empathetic looks.

We went to a local chapel to take these pictures on the front steps. She wore her Cinderella dress that we got from a resale shop and her white gloves, headband, and necklace. She wore her white dress shoes with the low heel and her pearl earrings. I pulled her hair backing using a bun shaper and added her headband. I found this large clock with the Roman numerals on Facebook for free. I spray painted a white pumpkin with silver glitter. And I found this star wand and tiny glass slipper on Amazon.

Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Storm has dressed as Cinderella on October 17 every year of her short life!

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 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.

3 Year Old Tiana Preschool Photos

Disney’s The Princess and the Frog is a fun classic story. This girl thinks it is so funny that Tiana thinks it is gross to kiss a frog. I used a rubber tub toy frog when she was a baby, but this time we found a ceramic frog that fit so nicely in her hands.

Tiana is such an inspiring princess for children to learn the value of hard work and big dreams. She sets out with a precise plan to own and run her very own restaurant through her hard work, but she ends up accomplishing her dreams taking another path (but still with hard work).

One thing that I try to teach my kids is that you need to work hard to get what you desire in life, but to also be flexible and creative. If things aren’t going your way, then use your brilliant mind to solve the puzzles that life throws at you.

This is the dress that I made for her last 2 year Tiana pictures. 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 that had a pond and small gazebo for this photoshoot. 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 sliver strappy sandals too.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

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.
