styled shoot, not your barbie girl.

Sep 27

Styled shoots are when a group of creatives / vendors / professionals get together and each put forth a bit of their talent to set an awesome scene. There is a theme and normally one or two vendors “in charge” who come up with this theme and curate the whole look. They select which vendors would best suit the style they’re going for and give them direction. What comes our of these shoots, is magic. Why do we do styled shoots? To create new looks and styles that haven’t been done before, all for the purpose of inspiring and showing off our skills and what we’re capable of creating if you hire us. Also, they’re just the most fun for us ever.

This shoot was inspired by the “anti-barbie” and when Dana, from Haus of Gravity came across the “not your barbie girl” song by Ava Max, we nearly lost our minds. We are all women who run our own businesses and a lot of us are also moms, too. So it’s just an all around, empowering theme meant to uplift women everywhere. Plus, these make for some bomb halloween costume ideas! …OR WAIT FOR IT…BARBIE GIRL BACHELORETTE PARTY OUTFITS! This is the ultimate badass bridal party girl gang inspiration you need right now!

“I ain’t plastic, call me classic”

I of course, contribute the stationery pieces for these shoots and a lot of times they happen pretty far away from where I’m based so I mail the pieces off and don’t actually get to be there on the day. Dana does an amazing job of sharing behind the scenes videos so it feels like I actually was there! It’s such a cool process. I’ll share all the vendors who participated below along with some photos!
