Flower crowns add creativity to portraits! Nothing says girly like flowers do! Whether it’s a bouquet of flowers or a field of flowers, girls LOVE flowers! And they should, because flowers are symbols of beauty & delicateness. And how much more so should that be reflected in a beautiful makeover portrait photoshoot?

I include flower crowns in my creative portrait sessions with little girls, teens & high school seniors. I find cheap ones in stores like Michael’s & WalMart & even Ebay. There are some beautiful & unique ones on Etsy. And I make some flower crown with fake flowers and a string of fake pearls. I even make them out of feathers! But I want to make some out of real flowers too!

How to make a flower crown

Making flower crowns is not too difficult. A few cheap supplies & some patience is all that’s needed. Stem wire can be found in most craft stores for a few dollars. Florist tape is only a couple dollars & the roll will last a long time. Alternatively, hot glue can be used. Fake flowers abound in the craft stores & online. And real flowers can be found pretty cheap at WalMart & Trader Joe’s. Then it’s just a matter of attaching the flowers to the wire in whatever fashion you wish. They can be big or small & dainty. Here are the 2 that I made with fresh flowers I got for less than $10. The long one can be used as a fascinator, placed along the neck line, shoulder or arm or can be fashioned as a crown.

I can make fresh flower crowns for photoshoots. They can be made ahead of time & stored in the refrigerator for a few days. After the photoshoot I am going to hang them to dry & see how they turn out. I may be able to continue using them as dried flower crowns.

Here is the best part about flower crowns? One size fits all & they can be used over & over!

Portrait Photography | Mother-Daughter

Capture the relationship with your mother

Mother. Mom. Mama. Mommy. Mum. Mummy. Matriarch.

There are many words for mother. It is quite interesting to me that children tend to choose their own affectionate title for their mother. My mother called her mother “mama.” I always called my mother “mom.” One of my sons calls me “mom” & the other calls me “mama.” I never instructed them on what to call me. And I call my mother-in-law “mom” too. I would love to hear what you call your mom & what your kids call you! (Put it in a comment below!)

Have you ever had a photoshoot with your mom? Or better yet, have you ever gifted her a photoshoot? These are one of my favorite kinds of photoshoots to do. Especially featuring multiple generations of women. I have been known to talk a mom in to getting in to a few photos with their daughter when the daughter is who I am actually photographing.

A makeover photoshoot with your mom is a perfect gift. And it is even more cherished when daughters & granddaughters join in. I can promise that those photographs will be cherished memories as long as she lives. And when she is gone, you will have beautiful memories of her. You will have so much fun getting your hair & makeup done & playing dress up together!
