My girlfriend Lulu dressed in a vintage pink gown looks like a modern day Cinderella!

With her silken blonde hair, fair ivory skin, and pink-red lips she is a modern day glamour girl!

My dear friend Lulu has faced many hard life challenges in the past few years.

Those challenges have had a major effect on her self-esteem and feeling of self worth.

It was my idea that when she comes to visit me that we take the opportunity to dress her up in a gorgeous gown, and make her up to be a modern day glamour Queen.

I wanted Lulu to see that she is not only beautiful on the inside but she is beautiful on the outside!

She is radiant in front of the camera!

Now….. let me introduce you to the fun and playful side of Lulu.

Lulu is a successful jewelry artist. She designs and creates one of a kind fabulous pieces.

You can visit her Etsy shop by clicking here

Her favorite theme and holiday is Halloween. She is well known for her Halloween jewelry type pieces and those with a touch of goth.

To celebrate her fun side she added a glamorous witches hat!

I call her Glenda the Good Witch. 🙂

We also changed it up for another super fun pretty look celebrating her love of lavender.

When I shared these photos with Lulu she was speechless and in tears.

Happy tears!!

She said she had never felt SO beautiful in her life before and that she was worth it!

It brings me much happiness in knowing I helped lift her up and melt those insecure feelings away.

*~*~ Cheers & Sparkle sweet beautiful friend!! ~*~*

    Oh Jennifer, she’s lovely (as most of us know), but you truly captured her inner beauty as well. Lulu had shared her past with me years ago, and all I can say is bravo. ……..she’s glowing! I haven’t kept in touch with her as well as I’d have liked, but we’re back in touch again and I want to thank you for doing this, and sharing it with us.ReplyCancel

“Then followed that beautiful season…Summer…

Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;

and the landscape

Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.”

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Rays of sunlight peek thru the forest and wake all of Mother Nature’s living creatures.

Birds sing and chirp happy songs that fill the air.

Summer brings light, warm, energy and playfulness.

Welcome to Bunny Girl’s Tea Garden.

It’s a magical and enchanting little spot.

Would you care for a cupcake or a bite of chocolate bunny?

“Mister Floppy would you care for a bite of my chocolate bunny?” say’s bunny girl.


Pink Ellie Photography




Diamonds and chocolate are a girls best friend!

One of the reason’s I branched into photography is I love storytelling and styling with a fun whimsical twist. I also want to entertain visually.

Inspired by the talented master photographer Tim Walker, I dreamed up this personal project and brought it to life with collaborative help of

Hair Stylist Claudia Marable who custom handmade the gorgeous lavender wig for the shoot.

Make up artist Jeffrey Ortega. Jeffrey also designs and hand creates elaborate one of a kind costumes and custom shoes.

Last but not least… my beautiful friend, model, and muse Stephanie Mauldin Folsom.

As a team we all worked amazingly well to create this dreamy fairytale photo shoot.

Pink Ellie Photography





WOW! Mister Floppy miraculously shrinked down in size!

How in fairytale heaven did that happen?

The photos have a magical Alice in Wonderland feel to it.

I look forward to many more collaborations and making new stories to share with you.

Happy Easter!
