Popsicles & Smiles ~ Magazine Ad 2008
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009Remember how easy life was as a child; how everything was so simple, yet so magical, & so big, yet so unforgettable. I remember at one point in my life, feeling like i was a beautiful princess that lived in a wonderful magical world, now known as a “fairy tale”.. Surprise Surprise 
In a way I’ve always carried that mentality with me…wanting my life to feel like a make-believe story. (talk about setting yourself up for disappointment! HA) I had the opportunity to photograph these images for a children’s magazine last summer. During the shoot, I couldnt help but to notice how each and every one of the little kiddos’ hearts was filled with such excitement. They were full of laughter, singing & dancing, eating popsicle after popsicle- which happened to be the highlight of their day, holding hands & playing, making big splashes in the pool, and i just couldnt take enough in. When I look at these images it fills my heart with joy. To me they represent the picturesque way that I’ve always dreamed life could be. Magical, beautiful and full of wonder. In a surreal way I feel as though for a few brief moments I was living inside the perfect magical world.
