Each picture represents a character from a book that embodies attributes I believe are worthy of emulation by today's little girls. Featuring my daughter Elinor and my niece Brenna, each set, costume and prop was carefully selected to evoke the spirit of the character pictured.
I will be releasing a new set of characters each week for the next 5 weeks. I would love for you to share the pictures but please give me credit, and a link back would be nice.
If you are interested in purchasing a print of your favorite character they are available as 12"x18" prints for $15. You can also choose 2 for $25 or 3 or more at $10/each. Please contact me at Shannon@photographybyshannon.com to order.
