Snapping Pictures

Every time we finish a new costume, I get all excited because I can put it into the world and take it's picture! Our performers are so fun to be around (they leave me glowing for days afterwards), and are very patience when I say silly things like, "see that tree over there? yeah. The one hanging over all the poison oak? Well, how about we take a picture with you up in it?! Do you want to climb up there?" There are so incredible...they pretty much always say yes, and the photo turns out even better than I thought it would.

Here are some photos from a shoot we did yesterday at our Head Quarters with Miss Clementine and Miss Olive from our Sacramento Family.

Miss Olive and Miss Clementine attempting a hand clapping game...and failing...but laughing!

Yes, they were really in mid air! I can't even say how many times it took us to get this shot. It is hard to catch a Faerie flying with a camera!

Miss Olive walked by an old barn on our property...and I quickly asked if she wouldn't mind slipping inside. She saw the 100 year old barn, mouse droppings, and shaky boards and said..."absolutely! Let's do it!".

Miss Clementine and Miss Olive in our Redwood Grove. They wanted to climb ON the stump, but after trying to figure out how to do that with petticoats and possibly poison oak covered ankles, we decided sitting behind it would be just fine for now! We are still crossing our fingers that none of us will get the dreaded rash.
