opal: Opal Petit Clothier by Tina Wilson

a look behind the scenes

My name is tammi swanson. I am a photographer, a children's clothing designer, and a stylist. I have also been a model, and a hair and makeup artist. My life, it seems, has always been surrounded by photo shoots and the fashion industry. My passion is children's editorial photography, and children's clothing. The stylist in me is always searching for the perfect items for photo shoots, so I have finally decided to turn my ideas into a children's collection. I see the end result, which is the photo shoot, in my head, and that is where I begin. I describe my designs to my pattern maker, we work out all of the details, and then I shoot the pieces the way I have them envisioned. It's all about creating a story, the mood, the beauty of childhood. I love the children in rennaisance paintings, pale sea and sand colors and tree-lined paths. I love formal gardens, small towns, farms and the countryside. Hopefully, some of you love these things too. This blog will tell the behind the scenes story of how it all comes together. Including what's really going on before, during, and after the photo shoots!

Opal Petit Clothier by Tina Wilson

I love to see other peoples interpretations of Opal. I am a photography junkie and I love to peruse other photographers sites. It's so inspiring! This photo is by Tina Wilson Photography and it is gorgeous! She is on the east coast and has a fabulous photography business there. I can't wait to see more, but I couldn't wait to post this one as it is her favorite so there may be more to come.....
