here is what the last 2 months of my life looks like!!! you are looking at the front cover of the fall 2010 my vintage baby catalog, which is 90 pages in length and all jam-packed full of my photos and cute clothes and adorable models. i am dying to get my hands on a final printed piece, but they are on press now and will be available at tea with trista!!
this was my first catalog shoot ever and i worked sooooo hard, so don’t take this as a brag session but more like a little kid who just rode a bike for the first time:) i am so proud to be at this moment, complete in shooting and editing and hopefully past many sleepless nights! i photographed over 40 models in one month and took over 7,000 photos, and i am wiped…and still recovering between this and little miss poppy:)
you can check out an online version of the catalog by clicking here and using the arrows in the middle of your screen to digitally flip through the catalog! i hope you enjoy browising and would love to hear what you think!!
here is a featured page from the catalog and website that explains my vision for the catalog shoot and my overall approach to photography:
here is the catalog page of little miss poppy headbands that i created alongside my vintage baby to offer, only available for purchase through a my vintage baby sales rep here!
i will be posting lots more photos from the shoot, one collection at a time, so you can get more behind the scenes insider scoop from the fun and giant adventure that this was!!! we had such a blast!!!!!!! i have so many stories to share:)
thanks to everyone involved – to all my models who stood out in grasshoppers and itchy grass, to the parents who drove their children in the pouring rain out to a ranch they’d never heard of, to my mom who played assistant, to shannon who played hair stylist/model mom/sales rep/assistant/reflector holder the whole time, to those of you that stepped in on short notice to play assistant for last-minute shoots, to those of you that picked sticker burrs off of clothing, to those of you that made and designed this clothing, to my friends who encouraged me and to my sitters and inlaws and most of all my hubby, who played Mr. Mom times ten thousand…thank you and i love you!!!
shannon - LOVIN’ IT! I just posted on my blog a little snip about sweet and sassy shoot! This was so much fun and I am so thankful to have walked on this journey with you friend!!!
