Tutus, Balloons & Childhood Dreams: A Whimsical Collaboration

   Whimsy, Balloons & Tutus: A Creative Collaboration That Took Me Back to Childhood Magic

I’m so excited to finally share this dreamy little collaboration from back in September—yes, when it was still hot. This shoot was pure joy, and it all came together with the help of two incredibly creative women I had the pleasure of collaborating with.

It all started when I met Mandana Moshrefzadeh at a local networking event. The moment I saw her work, I thought, “This woman’s balloon artistry deserves to be photographed like fine art.”


Mandana is the force behind Balloon Artistry by Mandana, an international, award-winning balloon artist and performer who creates next-level balloon decor and entertainment for events of all kinds. Her work isn’t just fun—it’s elevated, colorful magic, and I knew immediately I had to team up with her.

To add another layer of whimsy, I brought in Tasha Moore of  Style Me Cutique, a charming brand offering handmade headbands, tutus, bow-holders, and diaper cakes for babies and toddlers. Perfect for baby showers or sweet, customized gifts (mention this blog and get 10% off your first order!). Her tutus were the perfect addition to our playful setup, and brought a fairytale energy to the shoot.

All we needed was the perfect little star—and we found her in Emma, whose joyful spirit, vibrant personality, and expressive face brought our vision to life. Watching her twirl in tulle, surrounded by balloons, took me straight back to the magic of childhood—when something as simple as a balloon could completely transform your day.

This shoot wasn’t just about capturing pretty photos (though—spoiler alert—we totally did that). It was about celebrating joy, imagination, and the creative power of women-owned businesses coming together to create something beautiful.
