Teddy Bear Tea Party
The very first time I laid my eyes on Autumn , I just knew that I wanted to snap pictures of her ! One beautiful 2 year old for sure.
But , alas, I hadn't been around a two year old in quite awhile! My youngest grandson is 5, so I had just about forgotten what a two year old will and ...will not do ! One thing they will do, is anything they want. So I put her in the surroundings that I wanted, my grand daughter Kiley as my assistant , and let her play !
The hardest part was getting her to look at the camera. Her mother told me she was a ham in front of a camera . Now I'm thinking kids these days see our cell phones as the "camera". The humidity was at times unbearable. Of course two years olds are oblivious to that !LOL! What she did enjoy was being the center of attention.
I gathered all of my props from a whirlwind trip to the mountains in the fall. I knew exactly what I was looking for. Found the table and mismatched chairs at one stop. My husband was assigned the task to look for a teapot , he found the perfect one at another shop. Then I scored three sets of antique floral demitasse cups and saucers , sugar bowl and sterling silver spoons at our last stop . A very productive trip for me. Thanks to Michelle at Www.facebook.com/willowlakephotoprops for the custom made rag pennant. Which I LOVE !! Finally found the right lil one to pull it all together.
I love this set up and would like to offer the same as a photo session for any toddler . This session was taken at Alum Springs Park.( Autumn and Kiley enjoyed wading in the creek afterwards ) You can see more shots from our session in my childrens gallery .If you have a little one that loves teddy bears and tea parties.
