We love today’s post so much, we literally could not wait to share it with you! The entire shoot was inspired by a vintage 1950′s wedding dress that one of the photographers, Jonda, found at a local bridal shop for a whopping $40!! With it’s layers of tulle and ruffles, it reminded her of a childhood fairy tale, so she started dreaming up a Cinderella-themed shoot. Her friend Emily Bartsch made the dream come to life with lots of sweet props that she hand-made, including coffee filter streamers, a drawerpull bouquet, and the cutest little felt mice! We are swooning over the result.

Um, yes, that gorgeous dress was $40. Jealous much? We are!

Can you believe those little mice were hand-made? We just can’t get over how adorable they are!

Photographers: Jonda Spurbeck & Staci Faw of Jonda Spurbeck Photographers

    This shoot is so sweet! I used to have the Disney books from the 70s like in the picture. My sons still read them! I love the nostalgia in this shoot. It's exactly the feeling I try to get in my own photography. Thanks for sharing!

    Oh I LOVE this! This was my favorite book- I had the words memorized at age 3 (so says my mother) so it might make this my favorite shoot :)

    I have to agree with the other comments. I just love this shoot! My husband and I lovingly tease my now 18 year old daughter about Cinderella. I bet she would just love being Cinderella with this look!
