Little Jadore and Butterfly Wings
We are so excited to share this photo shoot with you! This dress from
Little Jadore is perfection. The tulle and knit top are so soft and sweet and there is even a turquoise sequin applique on the bodice. The minute we got this dress in the mail, Charlie snatched it up and ran in the other room with it to try it on. She adores anything with tulle and sparkle.
They sell lots of cute shoes, even mommy and me sets!
I used sheer ribbon on Charlie's legs. It isn't a part of the shoes.
We got the wings at 40% off at the craft store,
Joann's. They are actually adult sized, but we knotted the elastics that hold them on to make them small enough for her. I'll admit, they were hard to work with. The didn't want to stay open.
Our best kept secret is that you never have to pay full price at Joanns. In fact, you can almost always get items you want for 40-50% off. They always have a 50% off coupon to print on their website and they accept competitors coupons if they sell the same item that you are using the coupon for. You can use more than one coupon per transaction as long as the UPC symbols are all different. Places you can get coupons to use at Joann's are
Michaels and
Hobby Lobby. Shoot, now our secrets out! ;)
The sunset tonight was pastel and dreamy, which made for a perfect photo backdrop.
There was a field with tons of dandelions, which if you know Charlie, you know she's obsessed with dandelions. She can't help herself. She was picking bouquets of them and making lots of wishes. She said, "Mommy, you know what I wished for? A new toy!"
After we spent a while making dandelion wishes, we took a short walk to the beach. Charlie insisted! I was ready to go home, but Charlie LOVES to play in the water and she knew the waves were just over that little hill from the dandelion field. I was so glad she talked me in to it because it was a beautiful evening with an even more beautiful sunset! It was warm enough to jump in the waves, too!
As always, thank you for stopping by our blog!
We hope that you enjoyed this photo shoot as much as we did! It's hard to call what we do work. It's just too much fun. We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with so many amazing companies!
