Beautiful beautiful beautiful! The pics and the model! And of course, the products being featured!

My only suggestion is the 5th photo, the picture of the two bows, the full view bow is very blurred. I know SLR cameras do that, and I love that feature, but I think maybe if you swaped them so you could see the full bow in the front and the side view in the back, then customers can see what they will be getting better.

Thanks for sharing these! I always love to see different photographers styles!

Thanks for the feedback. I see what you mean...

It was soooooooooo much fun!!! I cannot wait until the next. How do you and others go about doing photo shoots and getting models?? Do you offer free bows to the models? I would love to hear how others plan and organize their photo shoots.

My photographer takes care of all that. She sends out a model search request and we get models in droves. So many we are turning lots away. We are also screening them now. We used to just base them on age, but now we want the "cute" factor there too. (some have turned out to be not so cute, I know MEAN SHANNON! LoL! But this is a model search, so that's what you have to do some times) She also takes care of the scheduling. She tells me who, age, and what they will be wearing. I prepare from there.

At my show this weekend, I was profiling kids and their moms. I recruited 3 for my upcoming shoot. My photographer was glad to hear that, so she doesn't have to worry about screening so many now.

It's fun, and it's a lot of work. Our last shoot was 4+ hours and 8 kids, each kid in 2 outfits. But it's so worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I give the kids a free hair clip or two, the photographer gives them a free 5x7.

Ok, maybe I am missing something what does the photographer get? I just asked my photographer friend to do some photo shoots for my site but the best I could offer was his signature/logo in the pics. If I can find more incentives the better!
Thank you.

I give my photographer "props" such as tutus, hairbows, etc. Stuff she can use for her pictures.

Love the pix, the model and your products. The one of the bows was a good pix but a little hard to see the product.
