This Photo Session turned out to be one of my favorite sessions. I love capturing Mother Daughter Moments and certainly when this little girl grows up she will have this memory of her and her mom which will last for a long time!

We were at a really unique location which lent itself perfectly to artwork added in later as well!

This one, there was a request from Mom to add in mystical full moon Fairy artwork...   You can see how I took the daylight image and with some digital artistry editing was able to complete the artwork on the left! 

This location had lots of beautiful moss covered stone staircases!

This location has a stone wall with a real window that you can sit in! You just dont get this level of make-believe in a Studio. We were able to pretend she was in a lost castle far away in a magical place (all a short hike away from the parking lot!) 

This location is one of my absolute favorite spots for Fairytale Sessions because the real stone from an old property that is now a state park really lends itself to mysterious and fantasy magic styled photography shoots. 

Now this set of photographs on this Mossy wall were very mysterious, but when I started editing to create a magical full moon scenic background it combined perfectly with the real mossy wall I had used to photograph this little girl. 

Here is the finished full moon enchanted fairy artwork created from the Above Photograph.... 

I made a few matching full moon magical images to go with this series... I love this image because it shows mom helping her daughter to climb and capture such a tender look between them. 

Creating enchanted fairy images which appear as though you are in a moonlit fairytale dream is quite fun to do as an artist and gives each client an original piece of artwork unique to their photo session and location.

  Using on-location lighting which lets me explore so many fun places off the beaten path to capture the most unique images, which are different than studio images. Its much more fun for children to experience a fairytale photo session out in the woods at a unique spot because they can believe and experience fantasy play in a much deeper sense and also create fond memories of playing make-believe with their parents or siblings.
