Lauren, these images are absolutely breathtaking and filled with magic and whimsy. What a beautiful set of pics to hang in a Woodlands-themed nursery- I especially love the one where it seems as though Barney is looking at Nicky’s baby bump and the one next to that where his wings are out as if he is ready to fly. I might be a little in love with that sweet owl! Well done to you everyone involved.

Owls are such incredibly amazing creatures, and I found myself staring for aaages at Barney who is just out of this world beautiful, oh my goodness he’s AMAZINGLY beautiful! But then you add two gorgeous girls, stunning hair & makeup, dresses and a fairytale location and you get MAGIC. I know it was such a busy time of the year to do this shoot La, but I’m SO glad you did it. You can be SO proud, these are just amazing!
