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.

Something I’ll Miss: Disneyland

First off I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the wonderfully sweet comments, emails, phone calls and letters I’ve received since I announced that I will be leaving Los Angeles at the beginning of August. Seriously I am in tears over all of the kindness and love that has been sent my way, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to wish my family well, it means the world to me!

As I mentioned we are trying to pack in a lot of personal family things before we leave California and of course we couldn’t leave without putting our Disney Annual Passes to good use. Today we went for the last time before we move to Atlanta. We enjoy going so much and some of our super awesome friends joined us today to make it even better. It started out gloomy and cold but it quickly warmed up and was a beautiful sunny day! We sure will miss just being a 30-45 minute ride down the freeway from Disneyland. Of course now we will be closer to Disneyworld in Florida, my husband and children have never been so you know it will be on our to do list! Although we will all be able to get our Disney fix next month, we are going on the Disney cruise leaving from just a few miles from our home and will be cruising to various places in Mexico.

Now I’m sure you all remember the last time I took my point and shoot camera to Disneyland and tried to get a video of my daughter on the tea cups and it went a little something like this (and just ignore my voice because I swear I cannot believe that’s how I sound, ICCK! ICCK!) Someone has way too much sass for her own good ;-)

But today, she was in a much much better mood on the teacup ride (again, my voice = annoying so tune it out)

Of course Snow White had to make her final appearance before leaving

They even have a huge letter C right out in front, I think it stands for Calderon or maybe even Californiangela (ok or maybe California Adventure, but come on, humor me will ya? ;-) )
