Sparrow Apparel!

I had the funnest experience back in July that I wanted to document! So with Vivint this past summer we moved three times. Our third home was Calgary and we merged with another office there. That team had a handful of wives in it, and Kim Martin, the wife of one of the managers invited myself and the two other wives in our office ( Becky and Danielle ) to come hang out with them at her house. It was so nice to have another place to go to, like a real big home instead of a dorm! And with other wives who were going through the exact same situation as me with husbands who work for Vivint. I felt very comfortable at Kim's, and there was lots of kids, always good food, and good company. We only got together about four times, but they were so fun! Kim is a Photographer, and she takes the photos for Sparrow Apparel. She had a TON of clothes at her house that they needed models for, so she asked all of us Vivint wives if we wanted to be the models and we would get some free outfits out of it! YES PLEASE! This was an experience I will never forget, it was sooo fun for me! Kim's 10 yr old took some of the photos so she could be in them too, the more the merrier! A part of me has always been a wanna be model, haha. From a young age I was always posing and loved getting my picture taken. Being so into photography myself now and being the person behind the lens, I was surprised how intimidating it is being the subject, or how self conscious I was, asking " Ok Kim, what should I do? " It's hard to relax, and not feel like you "try" too hard! haha. In these photos, from a self indulgent view I really like some of them, but I also think I am no model and don't really have the natural nack! But that could be worked upon if so desired. Actually, my friend Becky, (the Blonde with long hair) is so photogenic and has the BEST natural expressions, Andrew and I were blown away when we looked at these! At every one, we were like "Whoa Becky!" Hooting and hollaring outloud! This was such a fun experience though! Kim would give us each an outfit in a bag and we all would go to our cars and change behind the doors into a fresh new outfit. Then she would position us and snap away. It was so fun to see which outfit she would give us next, I had never done anything like this before, we were all so girly and giddy! We are all Moms, and it made us feel like young girls again! After the photoshoot, we went back to Kims, and got to try on even more clothes and pick out 4 items! We all ended up purchasing more things as well. It was the best shopping experience I have ever had, my kids playing while I try on outfits, one after the other. Something that just does NOT ever happen after being a Mom, right?

Girl Power! Cheers to Sparrow Apparel, all these ladies, and this fun experience I will always remember! Check them out at: sparrowapparel.ca or find them on facebook!
