Beginner Princess Hair

Cindi — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:25:54 +0000

I was sent a link from my sister-in-law to a blog about doing little girl hair http://www.princesshairstyles.com/. I have been floating around the internet the last couple of days in a world I didn’t even know existed, ha ha. Here is our beginner attempt at princess hair.

I started by making a part in a circle around her head. The hair on the inside I twisted in a clip to keep out of the way. Next I parted the outer circle in the middle at the top and made two small ponies on either side of her face.

I continued making small ponies around the outside of her head, forming a puffy braid from the top of her head to the bottom on either side. I was left with two small pigtails hanging down on either side of the bottom of her head.

I combed all of the hair in the middle into a pony in the middle of the back of her head and included the hair from the end of the puffy braids. Then I turned the back pony into a pull through. This style was very easy, since I didn’t do any actual braiding. It took about 10 min.

Voila! A Princess!

K-Cat puckers up for the camera.

K-Cat and Buddy

K-Cat with her favorite toy buddy. This is a two light set up using a wall in our basement as a backdrop.
1. Key light is an SB600 1/4 power 2 feet away from subject 45 degrees camera right through a shoot through umbrella.
2. Fill light is a LumoPro 120 1/4 power 4 feet away from subject 45 degrees camera left bounced off of the ceiling.
I am about 3 feet in front of K-Cat shooting at 1/200 f5.6 ISO 200 with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. Try to keep your subject at least 2 or 3 feet away from the wall to minimize any shadows. Happy Snapping!

K-Cat in a Bucket

K-Cat fell asleep in a toy storage bucket today. I thought she had stuffed her blanket in the bucket, but when I helped her out I saw Buddy, crushed at the bottom. Looks comfy. Shot with an SB600 45 degrees camera right fired at the ceiling for fill. Shot at 1/30 f2.8 ISO 100 with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. Happy Snapping!

Sisters. How cute! I think K-Cat may have a few things to learn, ha ha.

Wasp

K-Cat was bit by a wasp today. Bottom of her foot, ouch! She cried and I pulled out the AfterBite (and a kiss).

Picnic at Henderson

These were taken at the Foss Picnic at Henderson Lake. Lots of fun. I’m not sure if you are supposed to use a two year old to stop the soccer balls when you’re in goal. C-Man is an awesome dad.

This is K-Cat’s First Christmas. I’m sure she saved some slobbery kisses for Santa.
