Sleeping Beauty Photo – Learning With My Boys

My granddaughter is 3 years old and loves to dress up as a princess. This month we chose Aurora from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty because I think of roses in late summer. Also, her dress is pink reminding me of August roses.

Princess Aurora is a loving, hopeful, joyful, graceful, imaginative 16 year old girl from medieval France. Her sidekicks are Flora, Fauna, Merryweather the good fairies.

Aurora quote: “They say if you dream a thing more than once, it’s sure to come true.”

Zephaniah 3:17 states, “The Lord your God is in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

We visited a local rose garden for this photoshoot. She wore the same Sleeping Beauty dress and her white dress shoes had a bow and a little strap. I curled her hair before we left the house and lastly we put in the gold and pink earrings. I bought gold glitter cardstock and made her necklace. This gold glitter cardstock was perfect for cutting and there was no mess. Then she just held the single red rose too.

Her are some more of my toddler and preschool photoshoots:

Disney’s Sleeping Beauty is such a typical princess “happily ever after” story that little girls love. We have it playing in the dvd player in the car every August to prepare her for her Sleeping Beauty photoshoot!

The 3 good fairy’s bless Princess Aurora with beauty, grace, and song. She is such a joy for the fairy’s when she lives with them, they get upset when she turns 16 and has to leave. They want to do what is best for the princess even if it is hard for them, and they are teaching her how important it is to live with dignity and make good moral choices.

My Perfect Storm is also beautiful and loves singing and listening to songs. She is still learning what it means to live a moral life, even when the world is telling her the opposite. I pray that one day she to will live with dignity and be proud of her life choices.

We visited a local rose garden for this photoshoot. She loved seeing all of the different colors of flowers and wanted a picture by each color. She wore the same Sleeping Beauty dress that she wore for the past few years (I bought it big so I wouldn’t have to keep getting her a new one each year). Her white dress shoes had a bow and a little strap. I curled her hair before we left the house while she ate her lunch. Lastly we put in the gold and pink earrings that I had bought a few years ago for these photoshoots. I bought gold glitter cardstock and made her crown and necklace. This gold glitter cardstock was perfect for cutting and there was no mess. I printed out this free princess crown template and cut it out and traced it on the back of the gold paper. Then she just held the single red rose too. I was able to get her to lay on a pillow this year and to close her eyes of couple times.
