I wanted to share some cute behind the scenes photos with you all from our latest photoshoot. Scroll down to the bottom for a silly blooper (that thankfully occurred towards the end of the shoot)!

I love these ‘behind the scenes’ posts! It was very brave eating the strawberry in a white dress…thank goodness it only decided to squirt everywhere after the shoot!!!

Did you know that you can take strawberries stains away like MAGIC : ) with boiling water? Pour it straight from the kettle and watch them dissapear
Cheers,

Good tip! We soaked it in hot water right away, then I washed it when I got home. It came right out!

That’s so funny. When I saw the strawberries I thought how brave to have them on a photoshoot with the beautiful white dress. Look forward to the sewalong.
