A child white as snow

red as blood
and black as the wood of the windowframe
(from the Brothers Grimm Snow White)

I don't think I'll ever lose inspiration in fairy tales and forest lore...


I took these of our Snow White







So Pocahontas is not denizen of fairy tale lore, per say....but Annie was determined to play her. And she makes a beautiful princess of the woods!

Grandmother Willow!



Me as Little Red Riding Hood. My ridiculously tall lace boots, thrifted (( bag, and a sarong my mom bought me as my red hood

Thumbelina!


look closer- we were literally 2 feet from a sleeping fawn before we saw him! Definitely the most magical part of the day was watching this little guy take a snooze in the grass

This is one of my favorite childhood friends! His name was Sunchaser, I do believe...he lives in lavender, apparently

Red Riding Hood would totally wear these...not sure how well they'd work out trekking through the woods with a rapacious wolf on the trail, but, you know....he may just take the shoes and leave her alone if she wore them. He's a classy wolf.

  6. Love how you incorporate the stories to your photos. And yes, I can totally see Little Red Riding hood sporting those bad boys.

  7. Think Little Red Riding Hood would completely kick the wolf's backside with those boots - think how radically female history might have changed if all fairy tale heroines wore boots like those!
