...Sofia the First! Isn't she just stunning! Sofia reminds us of a freshly bloomed crocus or maybe even scrumptious purple cupcake :-)

And what would a pretty princess do if she didn't have a fabulous springtime fête to attend?

I found myself in Wonderland.

Valentine's Day is a time filled with love, cheer, and happiness. And it's a time when magical things can happen. Inspired by this theme of imagination, whimsy, and romance, Ella Dynae set out to throw an Alice in Wonderland themed photo shoot, just in time for St. Valentine.

Not only did we debut our brand new Alice and Queen of Hearts costumes, but we also designed a Mad Hatter tea party to help set the scene. We are so tickled to now be able to share some of the final images with you all!

Alice seems to have just fallen down the Rabbit Hole and has stumbled upon a fabulous tea party!

Little does Alice know, but a feisty Queen of Hearts eagerly awaits her!

Unless of course Alice is distracted by some delectable treats ;-)

In fact, this mad tea party is just too scrumptious for Alice to pass up!

Maybe a wonderfully wicked witch or fabulous fairy?

Sometimes, life simply calls for a party. A bright, sunny party that lifts your spirits and just makes you want to smile.

A party in bright pinks, yellows, and oranges. Like this:

A party that overflows with citrus sunshine and fabulous fuschia. Like this:
