The New Face of Giggle Bug Boutique

Just a quick blog to introduce the new face of Giggle Bug Boutique, Liv! She's a vibrant and hip 9 year old. I am blessed to have beautiful friends with beautiful children.

Liv's mom, Stacie, told me that Liv loves to pick out funky outfits for herself. She knows how to accessorize and has a natural flair for funky fashion. I wanted to design a tutu for Liv that would bring out that funky side of her personality, yet be fashionable and cute when she wanted it too. I designed the "Funk Rock Princess Tutu" with her in mind. It has hundreds of yards of Hot Pink, Black, Silver and hints of Apple Green Tulle. We went a little longer on this one at a portrait length of 22 inches long. The waistband is wrapped witha funky gray and black ribbon that ties in a bow that can be worn at any angle to change the look of the tutu.

My best friend and photographer extraordinare, Jaime Powell, shot these photos for us at Baron BMW of Kansas City. They have two great buildings for BMW and Mini Cooper. Both buildings are awesomely designed with fun angles and great floors. Jaime is an amazing photographer. She does a lot of work for us at Giggle Bug as well as my family photos. She's the only one that has ever been able to get good pictures of my toddler. If you're looking for someone in the Kansas City area, click Jaime Powell to be directed to her website.

When we arrived at shoot, Liv was ready with some of her own funky accessories for the shoot. She's a natural beauty with a smile that lights up so much you barely need a flash for the camera. Her personality couldn't be more fun to work with. She worked the camera at every angle. The camera loves her! She can be cute in one shot, funky in the next, and simply darling in all the in betweens. I don't think we got a bad picture the entire night. I was so happy with the way the tutu looked on her, I seriously teared up a couple of times. It was a very proud moment for me in so many ways. It was a magical moment having so many that are dear to me be apart of something I love so much!

I've always been proud of Giggle Bug, and as we grow, I become deeper in love with what I do. When we received some of the pictures back from Jaime, I realized that Liv was what I imagined Giggle Bug Boutique would be when I began to create this store. Our motto has always been "where funky meets fashion." And there she was, standing right in front of me wearing my tutu inspired by her... being photographed by my best friend in the world, Jaime Powell. It was a mushy moment...the Funk Rock Princess of Giggle Bug has arrived!

Thank you to Don Lindsey for letting us use the building to shoot the amazing pictures. And thank you to Don and Stacie Lindsey for letting us use their amazingly beautiful daughter, Liv. And of course, a huge thank you to Jaime Powell Photography for being an amazing artist behind the camera as well as the best friend a girl could ask for!
