Photographer + Designer = Funky Urban Expedition! | A Fun Photography Event for Little Girls with Their Moms

I had this idea that had been nagging in my head for the longest time.  As a photographer, I wanted to do a little girl’s urban expedition photo shoot.  I wanted my custom designer friend, Michelle, to put it on with me.  I knew we would be QUITE a team.  It would be an event/package deal, of sorts.  Moms would need to sign their little girls up, and they would come along too.

I mentioned it to my friend,and she LOVED the idea!  So we planned it.   Little did I know, it was going into a crazy-busy time for me.  So the event was ON, it was OFF, it was ON and OFF again.  And THEN, it was ON again!

We needed to create an ad for the event.  So naturally, we needed photos to fairly express some of the kind of images we would be creating as a team, between my photography skills and her tutu designing skills.  (Although she does SO much more than tutus!)    The photos I would create of the little girls who joined the Expedition were going to be FUNKY, FUN and PLAYFUL in their attire, and also in my creative processing of the images.  We were going for urban and different.   The event itself was meant to be a grand girl’s day out on the town!

So to create images for the advertisement,  I took my own little model, {O}….

Then I took some of the photos I got, and created an ad, which we put on our web sites, as well as a few 8×10 printed ads hung up at some places moms go.

Here is the ad, with the details of the event.

The event ended up being postponed, but was held on the afternoon of October 25th.   I was glad it was a little more into colder weather, because I wasn’t sure I was liking the little tank top.  So we all went for a little more covered up look.

The event went FABULOUS!  God blessed us with a PERFECT weathered day.  We had 5-6 little girls (all we could handle!) and their moms.  We all had a BLAST!! All of the little girls were so sweet, all giggling with each other and having fun.  It was definitely a success!   I am still working on their photos, but I am thrilled with the results in the images of these BEAUTIFUL little girls.  I really got a lot of gorgeous shots of all of the girls.  Can’t wait until the moms see for themselves!

I’m planning a follow-up post on this event, so stay tuned!

UPDATE: You can see some of the resulting photos of this event HERE.
