This weekend here in Seattle on Saturday May 23rd, we put together a fun ( first of it's kind ) event in partnership with MILLIE and Storied to celebrate grads, teens and their friends + families.


I wanted to create a "photobooth" where I could snap a portrait on my vintage Polaroid cameras - creating a fun keepsake for guests to take home. I worked with a local florist who created this colorful flower frame that served as the backdrop, and the bright pink flowers in a unique white frame complimented the MILLIE storefront so perfectly.

Boutique storefront display with white shirts and lush floral arrangement featuring pink peonies, purple blooms, and greenery.
A decorative white framed wall art piece filled with vibrant red, pink, and cream artificial flowers.

 

All afternoon I chatted with and met so many new faces - I snapped portraits of moms + their kids, dad + dogs, and soon to be high school seniors, grads and their friends.


People shopped at MILLIE, had a custom flower bouquet arranged, sipped on special matcha drink from Storied, got a tooth gem and created custom charm necklaces, key chains and earrings.


The neighborhood felt lively, and the sidewalk was full of conversation, friendship and creativity.
