Growing up I loved collecting Barbies, I actually still have all of my favorite dolls unopened in their original boxes! Barbie introduced me to fashion at a very young age. She also taught me it was ok to push personal style boundaries, even if that meant “standing out.” I mean, when has Barbie ever worn anything practical🤣?
Since I most definitely have Barbie to thank for my love for fashion, I thought it would be fun to combine my love for Barbie and vintage for this shoot! I also used a few items from my childhood, the 35th Anniversary doll and the Barbie Bazaar magazines, as props which added a special touch. This shoot took months for me to plan but it was so much fun watching it all come together!
When it comes to photo shoots/content creating, I love creating images I know I’ll treasure forever more than anything! Life is short, make your dream photo shoots a reality!
