So our friend Amber of Raimbow Tree made some new awesome headbands, hats, gloves, and other adorable crafty things for spring! Of course, this called for a spring version of our previous post with Alaskan Kate and Raimbow Tree. Amber brought a giant tub full of gear, dressed Kate up, and we trekked out into a field to have our product/model photo shoot! I was super excited to hang out with my ladies, root through all of Amber’s awesome new products, and photograph Kate… who needs basically no instruction whatsoever (except to NOT look at Amber or Geoff because one of them would crack up and we’d have to start all over). We had a great time and, despite Kate’s serious and soultry model face, we laughed our way through all of this.
Kate, who’s a teacher, looks like she’s about to go kick Rainbow Brite’s butt in these pictures. I think it’s the headband coupled with the socks.
THIS HEADBAND RULES. And thank you, awesome wind, for helping with these shots.
HAHAHA We all titled the following shots as Emerging because of the following:
Amber: Hey… why don’t we get one like, you know, of you emerging from the woods?
Kate: …Like what?
Amber: Like, get back into the woods… and just come out!
Carolyn: Grab onto those branches! Look up and to the right!
Amber: And just… come out!! We need more movement!!
Kate: WHAT?!
Hahahaha. I love the way these turned out despite me and Amber shouting contradicting directions at Kate while she emerged from the woods, hahaha. Cracks me up.
The shots below are titled The Post-Apocolyptic Shoe which we thought was very Anthropologie… and they’ll probably steal this idea as soon as they see it. This came about via the following:
Kate: There’s a gnarled, chewed-up shoe back there.
Amber: Let’s use it!
Carolyn: Really?
::Amber pokes the shoe a few times with the end of a stick and very carefully picks it up by the tip of the stick and hands it to Kate::
Amber: Here it is! Don’t let the gloves touch it.
Carolyn: Okay! Well. Um. Put the shoe over your shoulder. Look at me. Okay good, now look down at the shoe. Perfect.
HAHA.
