A Model Child

One evening last November, Adrienne and I left Pittsburgh and headed east, traveling all the way across the state to the city of Philadelphia. She'd been chosen as a model for Hartstrings' Fall 2013 clothing line, an honor she was thrilled about! So on a brisk Saturday morning we arrived at the beautiful Appleford Estate and joined the amazing Hartstrings team, along with other girls and their families, for a fun-filled day. Anyone who has followed our website over the many years knows that I am a HUGE fan of this clothing brand, and we were so grateful for this special opportunity. After many months of waiting, this gorgeous line of clothes has arrived in stores and on-line . . . I thought you might enjoy having a peak behind the scenes and seeing the final product!

Up bright and early and having a bagel at the hotel before leaving for the Appleford Estate,
which is located in Villanova.

The shoot begins! Notice how bundled up  the photography team is . . . it was cold!

And the finished product! This photo is currently on the Hartstrings website.
The line is from their kc parker collection and is called Neo Geo.

Wardrobe change!

Behind the scenes. The girls has SO much fun together!

Another beautiful shot, now on the website.
This line is also kc parker, called High Country.

There is one more series of photos that I will share once that line of clothing is available on-line.

After a wonderful day, it was time to head home.
Thank you, Hartstrings, and a special thank you to Erin, manager of the Hartstrings
store where we've shopped for many years.
