Sarah Meyer Photography & the Sneak Peek Photoshoot

Last December, I had the fabulous opportunity to work with the Queen-Bee thrifter herself Meghan McAndrews from High Plains Thrifter.

The Mighty Swell Pop-Up Holiday Shop last month was an amazing experience where I got to meet so many women with the same lust for vintage (and a strong work ethic for putting such a shop in motion).

For publicity, I needed to provide some Sneak Peek Photos of my pieces to entice the soon-to-be vintage shoppers. I took full advantage of this opportunity and contacted my good friend and photographer Sarah Meyer of Sarah Meyer Photography. Not only does she take fantastic photos, but she embodies the spirit of the Minneapolis hipster and has always seemed to have a way with making me feel at home around her.

We shot on November 2, 2010 & miraculously got a 50 degree day. Do not ask me how. We set up in the back parking lot of the 331 club where snickers were heard from the kitchen of the nearby deli. Pretty sure anyone peeking out were sure to get a little show (which they did but not the kind they were thinking).

My baby snug in my carrier, models Malia and Jenelle dressed, and Sarah ready to snap, we embarked on an afternoon of nearly 400 pictures.
