This Father-Daughter Combo and Their Elegant Beauty and the Beast Inspired Photos Are Breathtaking
Salt Lake City-based photographer, Josh Rossi, is only 31 years old and one of the most creative dads in the world these days.
Last October he made headlines when for his daughter's third birthday when he transformed her into Wonder Woman for a superhero inspired Photo Shoot and it appears for Valentine's Day he really outdid himself by creating a magical Photo Shoot inspired by Disney's Beauty and the Beast, complete with an elegant dance.
John pulled it all off over the course of several months and he spared no expense. He traveled to Europe where he visited castles and villages in five different cities to photograph backdrops for their magical photos he presented to her as a Valentine's Day gift. Josh's heart for his daughter is immense and he has said that the trip he took was a token of love for his daughter.
Read all the incredible details of how else he went above and beyond to make Nellee's Valentine's Day as magical as he possibly could (and the video is a MUST SEE!)
