Vintage Tea Party Photo Shoot



My very creative friend Kiah from Stephens Photography organised some local ladies to work together to help promote our businesses, so on Monday a group of us met to put together a vintage tea party photo shoot



I was asked to style the photoshoot and I was so excited!

It was fantastic getting my ideas together and planning for the big day.


Unfortunately we live in Orange and getting a nice day at this time of the year is pretty tricky so after a few postponements we finally went ahead and bit the bullet



As you can see from my behind the scenes photos it was pretty gloomy and cold! I started setting up about 1pm and I was praying for the wind to die down a bit, hanging the lanterns was easier when they weren't swinging around wildly.




Our models were all so excited, I guess for them it was like one big party and yes they did get to eat all of those yummy treats at the end, I may even have sampled an oreo cake pop too :-)


 The models were all so professional and braved the cold, mummies were on hand to wrap them up in between photos and I think they all looked so adorable.



Kiah's photos look fantastic, she has done a great job off capturing the girls having fun and showing off all of our products at the same time.



You can pop over to Stephens Photography album here to have a look at the photos so far, they really are fabulous and there is a great one of my foot stool I featured last week.

All the lovely ladies involved are listed below:
