Vintage Charm...

It was a photographer's dream, or at least it was a dream for the two True Story photographers that showed up to a shoot at the P house (those photographers would be me and Dany, by the way!). Our job was to capture the beauty of two charming little girls. What we didn't know was that the house in which we would be shooting would turn out to be the perfect setting for those little princesses. In fact, our client had given us a heads up that she had some props for us. But we had no idea what to expect and were more than pleasantly surprised--we were thrilled!

Let me explain. The girls' mom is a lover of vintage and charming accessories and decor. She is really talented and creates everything from bed coverings, pillows and curtains to hair accessories and clothing for the girls (and everything in between). What makes her rooms special is that she is able to put vintage and antique accessories together along with artistic ones in a way that creates a truly unique look. It really was a special setting and this was really her home. The results of her efforts were completely charming and added lots of pizzazz to our shoot. Once the girls were interacting in their natural environment, the colors and accessories just worked to accentuate them. 

As most adults know, toddlers can sometimes be a little "antsy". Though the toddler in this shoot was no exception, we got to see her fun personality and capture it without too much difficulty. When it comes to little munchkins, we are prepared for any and all eventualities including standing in a 5 foot by 5 foot playhouse to shoot. Yes, sometimes that is necessary. She actually did fine was great overall during the shoot. 

Her big sister was a pleasure to work with and was a complete trooper with her baby sister. In fact, she is a natural and could easily be a professional model. She showed confidence, poise and an inner calm in front of the camera which is not something you see every day in a girl her age. 

Overall, the girls did a great job...and got to have a little tea party in the process!
