Mary Poppins flies!

After the success of the Tinkerbell Christmas card from the previous year, it was Elle's turn to star in a new theme.  This year, we decided to do a Mary Poppins theme, with Elle posing as Mary Poppins flying in as Casey and Mia watches from a second-floor bedroom window.

I threw in a number of different elements in this shot, including putting in the Chicago skyline in the background.

Here's the master shot of the kids looking out the window at Mary Poppins.  Note the color of the brick compared to the final image. 

I found this really cool wind vane that featured Mary Poppins.  It seemed perfect to add to the shot.

Now I needed to get a shot of Elle in Mary Poppins garb.  I needed her up above me so it looked like the right perspective flying in the air above me.  I put her on the top of our mini-van, and once again had an issue with the shoes disappearing.  At least this time, I realized it during the shoot, so I shot her shoes by themselves placed on top of the van at the same angle she is standing here.

Here's the final image.  Look how blue the sky is compared to the original shot!  You can see the Chicago skyline under her.  I added the overnight bag to the shot from a website shot.
