I was given the opportunity to check something off my Bucket List recently...to be Belle in a photo shoot. My good friend and photographer John Garcia (IG: airguy1603 )
We set out to a secluded woodsy area in the hills of Riverside. I was amazed that such a cute little retreat existed around our area.
Being a Full-Time Librarian, the love of books is so much a part of my life. When Beauty and the Beast was first released, I was a little girl in love with the new addition to the Disney Princess world. I was always a nerd, reading up on current events at a young age, and always packing a book where I went. So of course the Belle obsession was fitting.
The Belle dress was entirely made by me. The apron was handed down to me by my Grandmother. Shoes are Penny Loafer flats from Forever 21. The top is from Pinup Girl Clothing (White Lauren Top) (pinupgirlclothing.com)
One of my books is my prized possession...the green and gray one with artwork on the cover is a 1943 edition of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Being one of my favorite novels it had to be included.
I wanted to share all these fun images with you! Enjoy! =)
