(Halloween Post will be up later but I was too freaking excited to not share this)
Let me get something straight. Elaborate doll hairstyles and I, don't mix.
The most I've ever been able to do is fishtail; occasionally do a french braid down Felicity's back, but not even that really.
But... I found a tutorial for a braid called the forever braid. And dang it looked hard. And it required crown-braiding. So I sat there, staring at the picture and video until I was like,"Eh, good practice for crown braiding," and I set to work, a simple crown braid in mind.
I ended up with a 3/4 crown braid wrapping around MK's head.
I am stunned at what I did. I don't know how it happened, but a part of me realized,"Hey, I can, and am, doing this!" and then somehow I got as far as I could with MK's layered hair and it was like woah.
The pictures below are now my favorites.
Enjoy the pictures (there's a lot) and let the pictures and lyrics craft a story in your mind. Cause y'know, that's the goal. xD
I remember tears
Streaming down your face,
When I said
I'll never let you go
When all those shadows
Almost killed your light
I remember you said, don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead, and gone, and past tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window
Darling everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone,
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You
And
I'll
Be
Safe
And
Sound
Oooo, OoooOooo
Oooo, OoooOooo

This is so perfect. It's just wayyy too perfect. I absolutely love that song, and MK's hair looks soooo pretty. I could never do hair like that.

ReplyDelete- Zoë
Aww, thank you Zoe!
DeleteThe hair actually wasn't as hard as I thought, but I doubt I'll be able to recreate it. xD
Oh my the pictures are beautiful! McKenna looks wonderful, and if you can do that hairstyle I cab definitely do it too.
ReplyDelete**June**

DeleteHaha, If I can do the hair, certainly somebody with your talent can do it. :)
What the frick man how are you so perfect? Like these pictures; WOW. And her hair; WOW. The bokeh; WOW. All perfect, all unknown concepts to me. XD
ReplyDelete~Maddie
I am far from perfect Maddie but dang thank you. That means so much to me. I don't even know how these happened it was like,"BAM. INSTANT HAIR AND PHOTOS!" xD
DeleteAnd oh shush, your pictures, hair, and bokeh are amazing. I can't even do the four strand braid you did; my brain can't comprehend stuff like that. xD
:O :O Wow! Like wow! Did I mention I said WOW! The bokeh, the lighting, and her hair are literal perfection! This is my favorite of your photo shoots so far! I also love that song and it is the perfect song to go along with your shoot!
ReplyDelete~ Mint
Aww thanks Mint!!! That means so much to me; I'm glad you love the finished product.
DeleteI thought the song was perfect too; it just seems to fit. :)
Woah. You're such an amazing photographer! The song goes so well with the pictures <3
ReplyDeleteAww why thank you! <3
DeleteFirst of all, you got way farther in that hairstyle than I would've :) Second that song and this photoshoot pair sooo well together! These pictures are just flawless, and...I dunno. You left me speechless :D
ReplyDelete~<3Ginny~
Aww why thank you!
DeleteThey do pair well together don't they? I've been addicted to Safe & Sound for the past few days, so the song to go with these pictures was a no brainer. :)
And aww, thank you!!! I'm so glad you like them. :}
It's one of Taylor Swift's songs that I still like (I used to be a fan of hers until Red came out :P) Perfection!
Delete~<3Ginny~
I like some of the ones on Red but truthfully I don't listen to her songs much. I prefer Owl City (hehe xD) and bands like Imagine Dragons. :)
DeleteThose are GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you!!! :)
DeleteI love the pictures. :) I really like that song! While I was reading I started singing out loud! Lol. :)
ReplyDeleteAww thanks. :)
DeleteSame here! I can't literally read it without doing so to the beat of the song. xD
The photos are gorgeous and her hair is amazing! You chose an awesome song to go along with the shoot! You are such an amazing photographer! I love Safe and Sound too!!! I started singing along while I looked at the pictures! :D
ReplyDeleteAww THANK YOU! I'm so happy everybody loves these as much as I do. :)
DeleteHaha, how can you not sing to it? At least, I know I can't when reading through the lyrics. xD
