Ava's Tale

I've been following Marie Hochhaus for a while in flickr and browsing her portfolio, it's only sure that you will get blown away and captivated by her amazing and dreamy photography. Even though it's hard to choose only some of her photos, this last session for Material Girl magazine has got me  thinking these photos could only belong in a storybook. (I wish I knew the story behind it.)

"Stories you read when you’re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you’ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit." Neil Gaiman

Sleeping Beauty

'' Many a girl has waited long,
For a husband brave or strong;
But I’m sure I never met
Any sort of woman yet 
who could wait a hundred years, 

Free from fretting, free from fears. 
Now, our story seems to show 
That a century or so, 
Late or early, matters not; 
True love comes by fairy-lot. 
Some old folk will even say 
It grows better by delay. ,,
