Life imitating Art

Korean photographer Yeondoo Jung created a brilliant set of photographs called Wonderland back in 2005.  The photographs are inspired by drawings from Kindergartners in Seoul Korea.  He recruited high school students to help him recreate the drawings in to photographic form.  They are creative, beautiful, amazing and inspiring.  Be sure to click on his name above and check them out.

My friend Keet is a fantastic children’s artist and I asked her to create a new piece of work for my kids.  She just finished the one for my daughter Morgan, and I just had to share it with you.  Morgan is in love with Disney Princesses (as most little girls her age) and cats.  I asked Keet to create something that combined Snow White and cats.  She came up with this super cute combination of Snow White & The Seven Cats.  Of course Snow White is my daughter, who also happens to resemble Snow White so it’s a perfect fit.  When I showed Morgan she said “I want to do that”, so outside we went with her seven cats and her Snow White costume.   Now she’s a feisty one and was already done with the idea within 30 seconds of going outside, so we didn’t really get to recreate the image, but oh well it was fun for the minute that she was willing to participate (hey wasn’t this her idea anyway).

Here’s what Keet created for Morgan:

My shot is not quite as wonderful as Yeondoo’s work, but a mini tribute to him, here is my semi co-operative Morgan aka Snow White with her seven “kitties”.

Hope you are all having a great Labor Day! Don’t forget if you know someone having a baby today email me to win a complimentary portrait session & 11×14 photograph.

    How totally wonderful that she wanted (for a fleeting moment, at least) to re-create the scene! I am honored. Thanks as always for the very kind compliments, too.

    Wow Angela, that is so an amazing resemblance of your daughter. Your friend is so talented. Does she hire our her services to other’s or is this just a hobby? I’d be interested in hearing more if she does.

    How sweet!! Her kitties would be the equivalent to my daughter and her horse & pony stuffed collection.
