enchantment : boston childrens portraits

As many of my readers know I am always talking about how I’d love to have a little girl of my own.  I suppose in the beginning, a very long time ago, when I decided I would have 3 girls–even before I was married and before my own children were even a twinkle in my eye–it was definitely the feelings of having a pretty little thing to dress up in beautiful dresses, brush and braid her hair, paint her little nails and all of the other flowery things that go along with it all.  As I’ve gotten older, and with two boys of my own now, I realize it is not about that but about being able to have the experience I have with my own mother.  I may never know the feeling of sharing such a bond with a daughter.  So with that knowledge I believe I am ever so drawn to the little girls I get to photograph.  It’s where my enchantment grows and becomes fulfilled.  I get to be a part of their world for a short amount of time, to join in on their excitement and nurture their imaginations.  This session was more about her little brother turning 1 but in true Stephanie fashion we started with Little Miss in her fairy outfit in her perfectly pink and blue bedroom with the afternoon light streaming in like theater lights for her performance….for me. {sigh}  On a side note, I have been nominated for Boston’s Best Children’s Photographer.  If you believe I am deserving of that title, I’d love it if you could head over here to cast your vote.  Only 2 days left and every single vote counts!!  Thank you so much for all your support! xoxo
