Fairy Issy

In my never ending quest to create the perfect flower fairy portraits, here are two recent (ish) experiments with Daisy and Issy.
I'm not totally happy with my mushroom, it needs additional painting, and i need some fake plants but i'm definitely getting there.

This is Daisy looking angelic holding a flower.


This is Issy looking very ethereal.


and here is a vintage option just to see the difference.

My girls posed for me with the huge mushroom that grandad made.
My work in progress is progressing.


Potential fairies come forward.

Daisy the flower fairy

I've wanted to do fairy portraits for a while and this is my first attempt, well i've photographed the girls with fairy costumes and fairy wings on, but that to me doesn't constitute a fairy portrait.

I want to try to create more like a flower fairy portrait styleee thing.

I need some good props like a mushroom (Grandad Nick might have a go at making one) delicate flowing dresses, and huge oversized plastic flowers.

This shot was one of many in a flower fairy shoot of four children.
