<3 I absolutely loved this special styled shoot! Since we moved to Fort Mill, SC, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know this young lady and her younger sister. The two girls are precious, and they have an even sweeter story about how they were each adopted from China. The blossoms couldn’t have been a more perfect spot for these pictures. Her outfit was coordinated in the perfect ‘DIY’ ‘Mulan’ inspiration. I had several parasol umbrellas already, and we just happened to find chopsticks in our kitchen drawer (we do like our Chinese food, and my husband insists that he eat it with chopsticks lol)! Recently, I found a vintage, pink silk, decorative sham from an antique store. We got to use an authentic Chinese fan and a gorgeous blue, patterned top from China. Sweet Claire ended up being a true model.

Look closely, and you’ll find her sidekick, Mushu the dragon =)
