"Styling this shoot was a lot of fun! I was lucky enough to work with some amazing suppliers.

I also commissioned some quirky pom pom bunting and cake décor from Thimble & Bobbin, which our three mini models went crazy for!
The gorgeous hair styling was from Amy at All Dolled Up who was so easy to work with and created some fabulous styles that suited the shoot to a ‘t’..."
