Flower Girls




Naive girls are delicate like pretty flowers. Their smile can fill the air with fragrant scent. They are seem to be hordes of magic elves, always make people swoon for them. Photographer Aline Smithson recently took a group photo with seven-year-old girl as the main character, from a unique perspective to record their sweetest smile.

Though the girls are coming from different social backgrounds, they all have a seven year old girl smile. Late 50’s ladies hats, dripping with flowers as if they turned into flower fairies.

There is no doubt that Aline Smithson's attempt is in great success. Do you want her shoot want for your child?
