BTS: Adorable Petites photoshoot

Not only are we excited to be sharing our Earth & Sea collection of Petite Roundie designs with you but also at the fact we got to use our own little models to be the superstars of the campaign shoot!

My son Theodore, Lulu & Daisy (Emma’s girls), and our adorable god children Husky and Jorge worked the camera to capture the beautiful images for our Volume 3: Earth & Sea Collection of Petite Roundies featuring the Captain Petite, the Native Petite, and introducing the new Nautic Petite Poncho! We got to play dress ups with the kids with two amazing local brands that we love, Fallen Broken Street Kids and Yoli & Otis.

The retro mini sailboat used in the shoot was restored by my very own father. We picked up the little 1950’s beauty when we were treasure hunting at the “Old and Gold” festival located nearby in Brunswick Heads.

The back drop was Cudgera Creek just a hop, skip and jump away from our own local creek in which we frequently visit with the little ones for a swim or adventure time. It sounds funny saying we swim in a ‘creek’, because it’s actually a tropical inlet that gleams a vibrant aqua blue on a high tide. The water is bountiful with ocean creatures; tropical fish, oysters on the rocks and every now and then we get a visit from a group of majestic dolphins. A dream for any little outdoor explorer! It’s paradise and it’s our home… how lucky are we to wake up to this every day. A few little activities we like to do that you can also do with your own special little explorers include:

Treasure hunting (make the treasure anything you want – we usually choose shells and stones and a bucket to collect!)
Sand drawing – of course little fingers being the paintbrush and drawing tools
Whale watching and chasing birds
Adventures on the boat (usually the boys like to be captain of the ship)
Swimming in the creek
