Red Riding Hood Sneak Peek Image

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was deeply loved by all who knew her, but especially by her grandmother.  Grandmother had given the girl a red hood, and the little girl loved it so much that she would never wear anything else.  Because of this she got the nickname Little Red Riding Hood.

Behind the Scenes

This image series was extra fun to put together! I built the little cottage you see in the background, and it stands about 38” tall. The bread inside the basket may look tasty but it’s actually made from tin foil, toilet paper, and paint. (Not a super filling meal I’m afraid) 😆 The photos were all shot on location at my Grandparent’s farm which made the whole thing seem extra magical.

Dry fitting! I built it in my Dad’s shop, it was too big to work around inside the house

Red Riding Hood Cottage is ready!  Stay tuned for the next newsletter story scene!
