I always create a portrait of each child around their birthday to celebrate. And each child gets to choose what’s in their portrait, I essentially, just make it happen.
This year she took inspiration from Lisa Frank and this became her very happy & very colorful seven year old portrait!
Happy Birthday, baby girl, you are loved to Mars and back!
When it was decided that we would create a nerf battle portrait…the idea was to make it almost post apocalyptic looking.
So I knew we’d go with just some brown dirt or sand for the ground and a simple sky in the background.
This was how it started out.
But then it felt like it needed to be darker. So I brought in another sky I had that’s darker, darkened the sand and added a smidge of light to the right hand side to draw in the viewer’s eye across the portrait to the right.
I then added a skyline to the background so it would look like a city was behind them that could have been abandoned since there aren’t any lights on in these tall buildings.
Here I cut the three children off of the backgrounds they were photographed against and placed them where they needed to be in this scene with a bit of toning/coloring added.
Then the picture was finished up with some smoke, flying darts, and lighting to make it pop with all of their imagination!
With love,
Isabel
