Crimped!

We're about to move house so I've been *trying* to pack and clean while hubby is at work....but it's not going well with 2 kiddies under my feet, lol. Charlotte was helping me clean out the bathroom cabinets and we came across my old crimper, which naturally Charlotte HAD to try IMMEDIATELY haha! So we abandoned our packing, put William in bed and had an afternoon crimp session, lol.

Here are the SOOC's


And then I jazzed them up a bit in PSE8 using 'Wonder Quickie' by Annie at Paint The Moon and then used 'Warm Rain' by Sarah at My Four Hens :) And the frame is from M4H too :)


Doesn't she look too cool for school?? =D It was another stinking hot day here so she was in her usual outfit of just a pair of knickers...I seriously don't know why I bothered buying this kid a summer wardrobe!

Before we did the crimping I managed to snap this gorgeous photo of her with my f1.8 :) The hardest part about a prime lens is constantly having to scoot backwards when the kids won't stay put! It did mean I got this beautiful close up of her eyes though :) Looking at this it's hard to believe she's only 4 =O








 Sweet Shot Day

    She is really beautiful! Her hair is gorgeous! I have a few children who would rather be undressed too in the heat!

    Blessings,

    Beautiful! The crimped hair takes me back to the 80s. I loved to use my crimper way back then!

    Absolutely beautiful eyes! I have a child who loves to dress the same way, and it doesn't matter WHAT the temp is. Last week we had snow, and she was dressed in a ballet leotard.

    She is so beautiful! I wish I still had a crimper like that! They don't sell ones like that anymore. I loved mine..my Mom used to crimp my hair religiously, she always had it fixed somehow whether it was sponge rollers overnight or curling iron curled or crimped or some kidna crazy new fad...but we were always stylin! Thanks for sharing your post processing! Beautiful!

    Gasp!!! Look at those gorgeous blue eyes! Not to mention, I wish I could pull off the "crimped" look as well as she does :)
