Ericka from Little Apple Styles helped me so much with the planning of this special event for clients in April. (She also helped with a gorgeous background for our client event in February!) It was so much fun going to the greenhouse and planning. So much thought and effort went into these. We are also planning another event in August and this just so cute, one you won’t want to miss – (Contact me for more information) We went the evening before the event just to take one last look at everything, decorate, and also take photos with her little ones! The light was just stunning, and her little ones had so much fun exploring the garden!
I interviewed Ericka so you could learn more about her and what her company offers!
What is your favorite food? Peruvian food of course! Fun fact? I do not like pizza or donuts. Yet that was the only food group I wanted to eat while pregnant with Ethan.
Favorite coffee? Colombian coffee…no sugar nor cream. I LOVE coffee. Proud holder of a Starbucks’ gold card – haha!
Favorite restaurant? hmm – such a hard question. I guess I have to say Chipotle – since that is the one I visit weekly lately!
What is your favorite family activity? I am not an outdoor-sy person. But the little ones LOVE paddle boating.
When did you fall in love with styling and creating little details for events? The little bug had been dormant for a while. My grandmother, mom and aunts are so creative. So it is definitely in the genes! When I first moved to the United States I worked for the Savannah College of Art and Design – and I was lucky to have the opportunity to help my aunt running errands for the events and enjoy them while “helping”. I will just look at everything in awe. My aunt threw me the best bridal shower EVER – and then a baby shower…. So when it was time to prepare for Eva’s first birthday party – oh my! I was full of ideas. I was finally going to plan an event! haha
What are some events you have enjoyed styling? Every birthday party is so special to me – I honestly put so much thought on every detail you see. I still remember Eva’s eyes when she saw Elmo coming thru the doorway. “MOMMA, IT’s EWMO!!!!” The same Elmo that may have thought I was a stalker, because I tracked him down from facebook friends!
RKP events are so much fun. I would say that my most favorite event so far was the Greenhouse – I was able to be in site helping you and seeing all the beautiful smiles and personalities. I may not have fingerprints anymore (thanks glue gun!) but the flower crowns really transformed every momma into a beautiful fairy
What other services do you offer? I have big ideas for your little events! Baby showers, baptism, or birthday parties can be stressful and they should not. It is time to celebrate and enjoy. Little Apple can help create your vision – from ideas for decorations, food and entertainment to vendors recommendations. I am pretty crafty too, so if we can’t find it – I can make it! This ties so close to photoshoot styling. Little Apple can help you create the set you have in mind. Clothing and props recommendation to make your picture perfect. Do not have time to find them or buy them? I can help. Trust me, I am FULL of ideas!
What was the most fun about styling the Rebecca Keller Photography spring event? Working with Becky! I am sure at some point she thought I was crazy – I had this idea in my head and she just completely trusted me and let me run with it. A little thing you do not know, Little Apple’s biggest fan (aka my husband) drove 3 hours to get live butterflies for the event. Sadly they all flew away during our ‘test run’ (I am sure they were scared by my daughter’s screams – some things just do not go as plan when you are dealing with little ones)
Were you nervous about anything beforehand? The weather called for rain the day of the event. So that was what made me nervous. Thankfully the weather cooperated and everything was just perfect.
What planning/setup was involved before the session? First is the idea planning, Becky and I met and threw in all the ideas we had. We visited the location a couple of weeks before the event. I took pictures, measurements, and sketched what I needed to create the set. I also created a pinterest board with clothing ideas based on the theme and worked on all the props needed. Many you tube videos were involved since I originally wanted all the flower crowns to be of real flowers – I soon realized that some of them needed to be of fake flowers since our first family appointment was at seven in the morning!
What events do you have coming up, and how can clients contact you? Can I REALLY tell them? I wish I could share every single detail…. This is what I can say. One is VERY cool and you would not want to miss it and another is in the happiest place on earth to celebrate someone’s birthday!
We are super busy with a ballet recital celebration next week and a train lover birthday party…so much fun!
We can be found on facebook and instagram – or via email littleapplestyles@gmail.com
Thank you, Ericka, for how much thought and time went into this event to make it just so special!
