My good friend Tim Schultz is trying to beef up his portfolio, particularly his more creative work. Tim takes amazing photos, and I love love love his black and white photos that he’s taken all over the globe. So when he asked me if he could use me and PK as models for a photo shoot, I of course jumped at the opportunity!
As bicycle lovers, Tim thought maybe doing something fun downtown with our bikes could be pretty cool. Then, he suggested perhaps a picnic in a park, with our bikes propped up against a tree. LOVE IT. I, of course, want to add a vintage twist with our outfits and props.
I’m thinking we need
- gingham or patchwork blanket
- picnic basket, filled with vintage dishes
- glass bottled coke or cheerwine
- fresh flowers wrapped in brown paper, and in milkglass bud vases
- vintage camera
- fresh fruit and sammiches
- vintage playing cards or dominos
- portable record player and records
- old books
Some inspiration photos from across the web:

PK will not ride one of these. Sad.
Found at Ulmer Studios
Clearly PK will be wearing suspenders with his trousers, and I’ll be donning a vintage sundress. Vintage clothes shopping mission yay! I can’t wait to get all of this stuff together and to have the photoshoot! More to come!
