I'm fascinated by the work of artist Vanessa Rivera, also known as "AIVAX," who states on her Instagram that she makes "storybook art with" and "magical photos of" her children.

She describes it:

40 hours of editing on photoshop (I added a few things since the reel), 677 layers, 7.80 gigs, 2 hours of prop making and 2 photoshoots later and this is what the boys and I created together! Needless to say they've been watching the movie on repeat and we all have "peaches peaches peaches" stuck in our head.

She also posts helpful tutorials. Here's her latest tutorial, which demonstrates how she created hat Super Mario piranha flower. She explains:
