Every once in a while I snap a picture during a family photography session that just screams to be turned into a fairy picture. In this example it was during my first 'play' session. It's a little different than my usual work, but the mother, who has been a devoted client, asked me to come and just take pictures of her kids playing around. I was a little hesitant but eventually agreed. I had a blast and a few times during the session I put the camera down and joined in with the kids. During the first part of our 'play' session the kids decided to climb a tree and that my friends is when the magic happened, even though I didn't realize at the time. But later that evening when I was downloading and converting, culling and rearranging, I saw this gem of a picture. The little boy standing in the tree, looking into the evening light. It was a perfect picture. One that spoke of childhood. But I knew, with spine tingling surety that it could be even more. So after getting the all clear from his mother, I set to work. These three renditions are what came of that inspiration.

| "First Flight" |

| "Dreaming of Flight" |

| "Pan" |
Each one is the same basic image but with little changes in coloring, or as in the last case background, each picture evokes a different sort of feeling, foretells of a different story.
After I finished with his fairy pictures, which were by the way my first boy fairy ones, I realized that I needed to do one or two for his older sister. I didn't want her to feel left out. Those pictures will be in our next episode of Art Uncovered.
