The Little Mermaid Photoshoot – Learning With My Boys

Preschool Ariel Photoshoot

My granddaughter is 3 years old and loves to dress up as a princess. This month we chose Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid because I think of the ocean for summer. Also, her fins are teal like the July ocean.

Princess Ariel is an spirited, curious, confident, driven, and fierce 16 year old girl from Atlantica. Her sidekick is Flounder the tropical angel fish.

Ariel quote: “Have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life?”

Isaiah 46:4 states, “Even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.”

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 also brought her Flounder Plush. She wore an Ariel swimsuit that was given to her last year. I put her hair into a pony tail with a big red bow to match Ariel’s red hair.

Her are some more of my toddler and preschool photoshoots:

Disney’s The Little Mermaid is such an exciting movie that Storm loves. We love playing in the dvd player in the car every July to prepare her for her Ariel photoshoot!

Princess Ariel loves her Daddy, but she has a very strong urge to explore unknown worlds. She just can’t stay still, and loves to learn about the forbidding human world.

Storm also loves adventure as well, she likes to lead the way and lead her friends in their play. We are trying to teach her to lead in a way that the other kids will still have fun with her.

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, then added a few light curls. She wore the pearl earrings with the safety backs.

Storm has dressed as Ariel on July 17 every year of her short life!

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 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.

2 Year Old Ariel Toddler Photos

The Little Mermaid is the first Disney movie that I remember loving as a child. Girls just love the idea of mermaids and Storm had such fun feeling like a mermaid for the afternoon.

Ariel is such a curious, romantic and energetic girl. Her father is very protective and loves her very much, but he can’t understand her point of view because of his past experiences. She also loves her Daddy and desperately wants him to know her.

Storm is also a very energetic girl who loves her Daddy too. She loves to be silly with him and enjoys playing hide and seek. She is also very curious, not afraid to explore anything.

We took these photos in the back yard by the garden arches. She also wanted her little pool and bubbles to play with. We put some sea shells in her pool. She wore her Ariel mermaid dress. She also loves her stuffed Flounder. She wore her purple earrings are from a multi color pack with the screw backings. I lightly curled her hair and parted it on the side like Ariel. She’s holding the fork, but didn’t quite know what to do with it!

I chose Disney’s The Little Mermaid for the July princess because we could take pictures at the beach for future Ariel Photos too. We got a chance to visit the Pacific Ocean this month, so it worked out great.

She wore her baby princess Ariel dress with her pearl earrings. I put her hair a red bow and she went barefooted today.

We went to Seattle and visited the ocean one day so I could take her pictures. I brought a fork and some sea shells for props that she could play with.
