A STORY NO ONE CAN DUPLICATE…
Remember our custom-made fairytale photographer?
The thought was simple: a series that caters fairy stories to the personality of your child. We’d tell each stories using words and photographs, just like we did with Cold Brewed. This isn’t something I’ve seen done before… and I’m all about trying new things. The idea of tying a customized story to a set of special photographs all about your child… so. much. fun!

We featured Miss Kendall in this one.
The Chicken Steeper
When Roman goes in for his nap
Miss Kendall finds her trail
of bows so big and brighter straps,
of glittered grass and snails,
of upturned high-heeled shoes entrapped
in paintings hung with nails
reading, “This aways! That aways!
Follow invisible paths!”
Deep down into the woods
Miss Kendall’s tucked some chairs,
a table, cloth and teacups, spoons,
and bags for her affairs.
She always leads her old hen out
and borrows little feathers.
She adds tea kettle heat to them
in cups like bottled weather.
(And while she waits, her puppy guards
the table, chairs, and cases
from monsters, mice, the shades and shards,
and all the unknown faces).
The steeping lasts an hour long
but when she’s through, cups quicken,
rattle, shake. From each she
pulls a baby chicken.
Get ahold of us when you’re ready to feature your child in a fairy tale. And as always, more to come…
