The Long Awaited Photo Shoot

 A rush of dresses, beautiful girls, and so many photos later. I'm so happy with the footage we got from our photo shoot this week! We worked hard to assign models to different looks and we are talking about doing another photo shoot before the end of the year since we didn't even shoot half of the dresses! Camille definitely has a lot of stock, but I'm glad we started to make a dent. We will get these dresses up on the website this week to start renting!

We shot at Light Loft Studios in Utah, this is a beautiful venue and there were so many pretty sets and designs ready to go. We shot on Friday evening and we had really good lighting for most of the time that we were there. 


The girls tried on all sorts of formal dresses for all sorts of occasions, I'll share some of my favorites here. I'm grateful for the consulting we did with each of them for their hair and makeup - it really brought the dresses together to complete the look.

This was one of my favorite props

So pretty with the light shining in!

Camille has the best selection of dresses

We even got some shots to post later this year for Christmas!

The website also had some major work done this week! It was tricky to get the formatting just right, but I'm starting to really like the feel of it. Making all the dresses easy to find, and accessible, will take more work on my part, but will be worth it in the end. 

Most of the past two weeks were spent consulting with models, picking the most important dresses and working on the website and Instagram page. I'm excited to see where the next two weeks take us!

Instagram and Website Progress

 We took a couple steps back this week. The website is coming along slower then we originally thought. However, we are having lots of fun posting on Instagram. The girls who came to model for us are also enjoying sharing our posts with their friends and highly recommending the dresses! Right now, our plan with Instagram is regular posting every week, and then posting more on weeks when school dances are coming up in the area. Camille is guessing that's when people will be looking for dance dresses anyways, so posting will increase sales. The website is complicated because each dress needs its own page and schedule and price. Making these takes a lot of time and patience so I've been doing my best to sit down and get all of those done so the website can go live! For now, Camille is taking care of rentals the old fashioned way, which is working fine until the website is finished.  Camille is excited to schedule her next photo shoot since we didn't even get close to finishing ...

The Clock Strikes Midnight

 I'm happy to report that all is done with Fairytale Formals! The clock struck midnight and its time for this girl in a ballgown to go home. Camille and I parted ways on this project on Wednesday and she said she couldn't be happier with our outcomes. Helping to create an online presence for Camille and her business was so rewarding and a lot of fun. I wanted to take some time today to share a quick overview of the project and everything we accomplished. Photo Shoot The first major thing we accomplished was a photo shoot with the dresses. We just wanted to get some shots of the dresses in use. We had a lot of fun renting a photo studio and getting some girls to come over and play dress up with us. These girls ended up having a huge part in sharing the photos afterwards as they told all their friends about this exciting new business. The photos turned out really good as well but we just didn't have enough time for what we needed to shoot. So after the photo shoot we booked a...

Springtime Event

 We held an event last week focused on the youth of Shine Performing Arts. This event is an annual event where the youth prepare performances and presentations to share with the community as well as their parents and other family members and friends. This event is sort of an end-of-year celebration to say goodbye to the graduating seniors, welcome in new students for next year and celebrate how far everyone has come and accomplished.  The event was canceled last year due to Covid-19 so we already knew there was a lot of excitement going into this event. We wanted it to be held outdoors so that we could let the maximum people attend the event. Because of our location we were able to keep social distancing rules while people enjoyed the food and entertainment for the evening.  Our biggest concern was the weather because it was the outdoor event, there were so many times where we thought the weather would come through, but as event managers and specialists, we came up with m...
