It is a tradition in my brother-in-law's family to have each girl at the age of two get her picture taken in this old dress made by their great grandma. I had the pleasure of taking the pictures of my niece. I call her Alice, not because it's her real name, but because that's what these pictures make me think of- Alice in Wonderland.
It was fun and I am excited about how they turned out. It was good for me to take a break from routine and get to create and play with such a fun project. I wanted the pictures to look like they might have if they were taken decades ago when the dress was new.
The lighting wasn't great but she made it up for it with her own. (and if you can guess where I took them I may have to give you a prize) -It's thrown me on this kick of vintage/old style photography- here I go! More fun to come.
*Those who I've already told where the photo-shoot took place are not eligible for prize/contest. :)
Besides the fact I totally guessed where they were!!!! Did you add the detail above the door?? Or was it already there? I've never noticed it before. I LOVE it though! Great work!
ReplyDeleteTaken at UVU, in between the SC and PE building; Pioneer House.
ReplyDeleteSam, these are beautiful. She is so dang cute and the dress is amazing. Oh, and I'm guessing the photos were taken at that old house on UVU's campus. Am I right?! Do I win?!
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE!! You need to be closer so you can take some family pics of us for me!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! I can't even decide which I like the best- they are all so fabulous- Leaning a little to the one where she is opening the door- can be quite symbolic if you want it to be-
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the feedback. And to the location guessers you are CORRECT! I'll reward you somehow. To Ashley: I wish I was closer too. I'd love to help. There's always hawaii though right ;) Head Nurse: Thank you, I appreciate your feed back. I love your idea of symbolism. These pictures can tell such neat stories. Thanks all.
