| The Crown Portraits….. | 08.4.09 |
several people have inquired about my crown portraits….here is the story….
i found my first crown while i was planning my wedding….one sat on the top of my cake & my son carried another one down the aisle with our rings attached to a velvet pilllow on the inside of the crown….the image above was the 1st portrait i ever took with the crown & i fell in love with the idea…
since then i want to photograph every one i know (and many people i don’t know) with my crowns….my “crown portraits” are part of an ongoing personal project and i see no end in site….
i love the idea that every person is royalty….special & unique…honored & loved by somebody….
the family jewel is who ever happens to be beneath the crown
xoxo
a little more sweetness....

I’m glad someone asked. After reading this I love the crown even more..and how special the crown wearers must feel. I agree. Everyone is “special & unique…honored & loved by somebody….”..you put this so well. Will continue to watch out for more of your crown photos. Love all these images..the boys are beautiful under their crowns..and the gentleman’s face ..ah..gorgeous.

Thank you for sharing this story, Elizabeth! So creative, and beautiful.

That last one’s got to be my fave
Don’t get me wrong — the kids are beautiful, but I could see the “royal person” in children, and the last one is just almost so incongruous, it’s immediately-smile inducing 
Love your work!

Goodness, Elizabeth! Sometimes you move to tears. My heart is always so moved by your blog entries and photos that I can feel knots in it that are so tight- it hurts. I’m addicted to “Kiss the Groom.” Thank you for being you.

that is such a beautiful, beautiful idea. i especially love the one of the man too. makes me think of my dad. if he were still with me, i think i would run out and get a crown and take a million pictures of him! i can just picture how silly he would think it was and how proud he would be at the same time and how he would be trying to pose just right for me, trying to get it just exactly right.

where did you find that fabulous crown???

I think this is absolutely wonderful. I love that the little girl looks angelic and the little boys almost look like they are putting effort into closing their eyes, just like little boys with too much energy. What a fantastic idea. My mom still makes us wear crowns for our birthdays.
