Cupc4ke Hats // Product

Last week we teamed up with our friend Cupc4ke to create some new product pictures for her Etsy store. Some local kids joined us to model these awesome handmade hats. Here’s some of our favorite shots from the first day featuring Cupc4ke’s signature Monkey Hat as well as her new line of Headphone and Dinosaur hats.   A big thanks to the families for coming out in the hot Sacramento weather. After this fun first day we were ready to shoot six more kids the following day. We’ll be working on the 2nd day’s pictures and bring you a preview later this week.

Day two of our photo shoot brought us six kids and a lot more hats. We moved to a different area of Land Park that had some good tree cover and got down to business. The kids all seemed to have a fun time, even if they took a little time to warm up. We also took some shots for Cupc4ke collaboration with Ana Apple Designs for some fun headphone hats with a turntable tee shirt. All in all it was a huge success and you can find our pictures on Cupc4ke’s Etsy store right now! Here are some of our favorites from day two.

We brought our boombox prop for the headphone hats, little did we know the kids would flip it over and use it as a turntable!

Ben & Daphne / / Maternity

Ben and Daphne are excited for their first child and asked us to take some maternity portraits. The only catch was they weren’t really interested in some of the standard shots they had seen in their research. So we all had some fun getting creative with different shots around their home.

I had this idea for a photo for a while now and Ben and Daphne were game to give it a try. The rush to the hospital never leaves any time for a photo op so we staged the dash out the door. They already had their bags packed so they’ll certainly be ready when the time comes.

Painting for Miracles // Event

“Painting for Miracles” is an annual fall fundraiser combining local artists and art lovers to raise money for the Children’s Miracles Network at UC Davis Children’s Hospital. The stories of the children are given to local artists who bring their story to life in a painting. While the artist may plan ahead, all of the painting is done during the second weekend of September. The last Saturday in September is the day of the silent auction and the Art Show Season Finale.
