Props and More Props!
I've gotten some fun feedback regarding the head piece for a recent session, and though I'd share a little about it, and how you too, can make your little Princess one!
Lately, with all of these concept shoots in my head, props are necessary. However, when I get to styling a session, sometimes, I just can't stop, and right now, I'd reallyyy like to keep my props at a minimal in order to focus on the subject and their impact, alone.
This session in particular was designed around a crown, some hanging fabric, and a tutu. However, when I finally sat down to compile a list of materials needed, and then put together the color palette, it turned into something completely different. (i love when this happens!)
This session was nature inspired, and I wanted it to be as natural as possible beginning with the colors, the props, and then the hair (i have an obsession with hair).
Instead of a crown, I decided to try and DIY a headpiece.
(i'm just learning the beginning steps of hand sewing, yes, even a button, so it was a bit terrifying working with a needle and thread, and then of course, nature's own- FIRE. (more on that in the directions, below.))
Here are the directions on how you can make your very own:

Enough is never enough for me. I'd rather think of too much, and then be able to take away, rather than the opposite. So, to the computer I went... Something was missing from my cute little hair piece, and I was going to find out what! Super in awe, I came across this little lady and her gorgeous oversize hair piece.
Love & Dreams,

Thankfully, I had some extra tulle in my craft box, and with it, I simply cut large squares of tulle and went to town with my kitchen candle, until it came out just the way I wanted.
The final product:
Isn't she stunning?? Can't wait to share the rest of this session with you all!
Stay tuned, and have FUN diy'ing!
