International Picnic Day 2020

* This session was shot in June of 2020 and this blog post was promptly left unfinished until September of 2021. That’s the way she goes sometimes, enjoy these photos and work I’m most proud of!

My First Collaboration

Collaborations always truly confused me. I didn’t understand how they worked. I had people and companies in my mind that I wanted to collaborate with, but I also wanted them to hire me. I found collaborations would maybe get in the way of that potential.

Our 9 stunning models & collab team
Back Row L-R: Leanne, Margeaux, Stephanie, Sarah, Nicole, Kelly
Middle Row L-R: Kelly, Me!
Front Row: Kristi, Tianna, Connie. Brianna

But then, not long ago, it all clicked.

Here were the thoughts in my brain -

  1. Open Content Planner

  2. See that June 18th is International Picnic Day

  3. Think to self: aw that would make such a nice little photoshoot

  4. Ask Brianna from Nomad Box Bar if she’d be down to be part of this little shoot

  5. Three other vendors got involved

  6. Had an amazing COLLAB photoshoot

I’m not going to write about much more than that, but I do want to flood your day with these beautiful photos.

I had 9 amazing women come out to model for me and dressed them in only the finest from Valencia Boutique on Corydon. Leanne of Prairie Sky Events lent us her yard (her husband even trimmed a tree for us!) and Brianna and Grant of Nomad Box Bar hauled in their beautiful champagne-coloured 180 Box Bar! Lastly, Kelly from Graceful Lily Vintage China pulled it all together with beautiful china pieces! Amazing!

A few texts and one Facebook post on in the Hustle & Charm Community page and we rocked out the beauty that you see above! I cannot properly express how proud I am and how stinkin’ grateful I am to everyone involved! I can’t wait to do it again!
