My Favorite Fairies

 Yes, it's true - as much as I love all my Enchanted Fairies - I do have 2 favorites this year!  Maybe it is because I can see my precious nephew in his daughters. I love to here them laugh, and I love their imagination.
We had fun pretending to splash each other and look for fish in the water.

Lily Pad?

Oh how I love the Enchanted  Fairies set in February! I love it so much that I have my own fairy costume. But I do like to share so when Lily's mommy teased that she was jealous that I had a fairy costume and I didn't, I had to take it off and make  her put it on. All with the encouragement of Lily!  We had a great time, and Lily loved flying like a fairy and kissing  her frog.

Kara the Fairy

This little fairy is so very special to me. She started out in the Baby Steps program almost 5 years ago. I have seen her go through physical therapy, surgeries, pain, and still always has a happy face. Not to mention she gives the best hugs. She has over come so many things that they thought she might not be able to do.
 I love visiting with her sweet momma. We could sit and talk way longer than it takes to take photos or order photos. This is a special family, and she makes a perfect fairy.

Need some Green?

 Well I needed a "green" post for St.Patricks day so I have Kinlee and Karsyn Green and their green frog prince!

 Both of these girls have been through the Baby Steps program at the studio. I photograph their cousins on both sides of the family. I have photographed their aunts and uncles.

 They are precious to me. Kinlee is a talker and loves to play games with me.

 Karsyn's flower crown was a little crooked - but it was on....well most of the time.

 Karysn was all into kissing the frog!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY

Snow in Fairyland - OH NO!

Enchanted Fairyland was all set up yesterday afternoon, and as the first fairies came flying in, so did the snow. Well everyone knows that Arkansas Fairies are prone to frostbite if they get stuck on the side of the road because of slick roads on their way to Enchanted Fairyland, so we have postponed photos until next Saturday, March 7.   In rearranging schedules and adding another day, 2 more spots have opened up if you did not get an appointment. 

On the other hand....Seniors and Families that feel they can get here safely in the snow today, can come for a mini session - $99 includes session and 3 prints.

Fairies and Fisherman extended....due to FIRE

We're on FIRE....
 

Well,  we were and not in a good way.  As embarrassing as this is to confess, this morning, I thought I would burn a small pile of brush. I had some time in between Fairy sessions and I checked the wind and it seemed okay... so I started the fire. Then my husband told me  he thought there was a burn ban, so I went to check and see if that was true, when he came running in yelling that the field was on fire. (umm yea, it was true). 30 minutes later the fire trucks were leaving... THANK YOU Knoxville Fire Department!  Ironically we had a message on our home answering machine that we never check telling us there was a burn ban starting this morning.
Now I smell like smoke and am terribly embarrassed and had to cancel my afternoon Fairies - I need to be ready to play, not cry. But I am ok, only thing that got burned is grass, and I am extremely grateful that it was not more serious - just a little injury to my pride.
For this reason we are extending Enchanted Fairies to next Saturday also, and I have some appointments open.
