Thanks Jas and Steph, I had a great time working with you!

Which got me thinking. Clickity-click went the little cogs in my mind, and soon enough, a short little email was sent, and soon blossomed in vibrant reality. Two of the “stud” horses appeared on my front verandah for a holiday and a play, and playing we have been!

These images are from the first of two completed shoots I’ve done, and I have another one or two planned. They’ll be featuring on a new product I’ll be debuting at the Armidale Baby Expo. A new product, some beautiful images with a beautiful prop, and some exposure for Calamity Bolt, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to make it sounds like a win-win to me!

You can find Calamity Bolt on Facebook, and see what’s in stock in the MadeIt store. For more info on the Armidale Baby Expo, being held in Armidale on September 17, 2011, your can visit their Facebook page as well.

I will be very sad to see these little chaps go home, I definately need to get one for my little people. Do you love hobby horses too?

After much postie-stalking, a gorgeous little package arrived in my mailbox. I slowly unwrapped the tissue paper, and there in my hand were two beautiful (and beautifully made) Summerblossom hair pins.

The last details pulled together, Steph and I headed out to our location, and we had a blast shooting some images for the competition. I hope you like these images as much as I do, and if you feel so inclined, I’d appreciate any “likes” or comments on my photo over at Summerblossom’s facbeook page – you can find my photo here.

The second shoot we did was a Thursday evening. Danielle and I headed out to Jasmine’s place, and commented on the storn hovering to the east. Never fear, said I, storms around here come from the west. It won’t worry us.

I watched Jasmine work her magic, helped Danielle step into the dress… and we felt the first spit of rain. oh. So it seems storms can come from the east after all! But we worked quickly, and managed to wrap up before the sky opened.

Make-up and hair by Jasmine Anderson.

Cake by Kate Owen of Cake Crumbs {0428 363 450}

Jasmine did a great job on hair and make-up

How cute are Danielle’s red shoes playing peek-a-boo?

And of course, how could we not feature the gorgeous cake in a couple of shots of it’s own? Kate did a great job, and the cake certianly lived up to Cake Crumbs promise of “delectable cakes made to order”… auch a wonderful mud cake.
