“All I Need is Flowers In My Hair”
Posted on 02. Nov, 2010 by Cansler Photography.
Earlier this year I asked my daughter Sydney what she was going to dress up as this Halloween. She immediately said a tree nymph. She loves stories about fairies and nymphs (along with stories about anything else you can imagine). I asked her why she chose a tree nymph and her reply was “well I already have the costume from my dance recital, all I need to add is flowers in my hair”. It is wonderful to sometimes see a practical side to her (which is not that often I might add). My only question was how are you going to stay warm? She hadn’t thought of that so we came up with a backup plan just in case it was cold. Fortunately it was warm so she was able to go trick or treating as a tree nymph.
She likes trick or treating but really loves passing out candy to all the little monsters that come to our house. This year the crowd seemed smaller so we were left with lots of candy. Every Halloween my family comes over to our house for food and to watch Sydney get dressed up. This year was no exception with once again the whole gang at our house. My sister and her husband from California, my older sister and her boyfriend from Soddy Daisy and my parents all came over. Sydney had one of her best friends to share Halloween with and they had a blast, there was a lot of noise, laughter, running around and just generally getting into trouble. The adults weren’t any quieter with everyone talking at once (loudly) trying to be heard, talking about everything from politics (a no no around here) to gossip and anything else you can think of. All too soon the evening drew to a close, the kids were still rowdy and not ready to go, we knew there would be trouble tomorrow, if they didn’t get to bed soon. Everyone said there goodbyes and it was off to bed for Sydney.

Simple Elegance

Hattie’s hair is naturally that sun-kissed blonde shade. Don’t hate her because she’s beautiful (you should be smiling here)! Her style and clothing were simple but chic. So we tailored her session to match. We always do this but for Hattie we kept cutting out background busyness. It just took away from her naturally easygoing personality. And we want our images to reflect the person, not have a “Cansler” look. So we looked for simple but elegant, classic but not stuffy. Just like this gorgeous girl herself.
Such a sweet smile for a sweet girl! And her personality matches. We had so much fun with Hattie and her mom. The wind was blowing and Hattie’s hair would fly in her face after every shot! But she never complained or seemed annoyed. She kept her smile and high spirits the whole time.

We had such a great time working with Strasburg Children this spring that we’re doing it again! Strasburg Hamilton Place has asked us to help promote their Fall-Winter 2010-11 line, which I think has the potential of a great Christmas photographs and cards. You get the same awesome deal as last time and if you didn’t participate this is your chance! Stop by the Strasburg store to see the coffee table book of all the great kids we met this spring. Some children’s portraits are even in the large window display!!!
Just in case you didn’t get the info the last time… here it is:
In partnership with Strasburg Children, we are looking for boys and girls to model Fall and Winter 2010-11 Strasburg fashions. The portraits chosen by Strasburg Corporate will be featured in a rotating in-store display and a coffee table book. Once we schedule a session, e-mail us a snapshot of your child wearing the outfit(s) you have chosen; all we ask is that they be something from the current line, nothing on clearance please! Limit of two outfits. The sessions must take place between November 1st – 24th. We have limited times available so call soon! The registration fee of $150.00 gets you the session and a 5×7 miniature display portrait of the photograph of your choice – a two for one special just for Strasburg models.
