A Day on the Set with Tai and Friends for New Tai Line

After finishing our collaboration with Tai Babilonia on a new line of georgette skirts, we decided that we really needed to do a studio photo shoot to present this wonderfully fresh set of skirts. It was a great and exhausting day and a real learning experience for all of us at BHS about what can realistically get accomplished in a single day. While we had a lot of fun doing the shoot (see below), it really was a lot of hard work for everyone on the set.

We shot the skirts in a studio space in New York City and were fortunate to have the woman who designed the lotus t-shirt in our ladies section also model those shirts as well. Tai, who is very warm and open, had some down time in the studio with our daughters and with some of the other models. She also has so much experience in front of the camera that she was extremely helpful in getting the look just right in so many of the shots as well as getting the models to appear natural. Her spirit really comes through in so many of the images.

It was amazing to me just how many shots we took in order to get what we needed. Here are a few of my favorite shots of Rachel and Tai together modeling the new skirts.

It was also a blast to have Tina and her daughter on the set in matching hip huggers. What can I say? I crack up every time I see the out takes of the two of them joking around on the set.

Please check out the skirts on the Tai Collection area of the Bear Hill Sports web site. The skirts will also be available at Northwest Regionals in conjunction with a book signing with Tai and possibly at New England Regionals.
