Dallas Girl Gang Meetup! (August Edition)
Review of recent Girl Gang Meetup in Dallas featuring female DFW photographers and models.
I was finally able to attend my first Girl Gang Meetup in August; the event was hosted by Kristianna Davied at Studio 34 Seven in Dallas. There were no boys allowed, and it was pretty dang magical.
There was an abundance of talent in attendance and I was so stoked to meet a lot of the DFW area creatives that I have admired via social media and art shows for a while. I am not really a shy person, but when I’m in a room full of strangers, it takes me a while to open up. However, within 15 minutes of arriving, I was meeting people left and right and was able to take way more portraits than I anticipated. Meetups are an amazing way for local creatives to be able to meet, collaborate, exchange ideas, plan future sessions, etc… I highly suggest attending a meetup if you are a new model or photographer, but they are beneficial for anybody that goes! You should take water, props, outfits, and any necessary gear. I can’t speak highly enough about the Girl Gang Meetup because I felt supported through the entire shoot and was met with a smile each time I introduced myself to somebody new.

Dallas Boudoir and Creative Photography with Model Bernice O.
Dallas boudoir photographer collaboration with alternative model.
I refer to Bernice as "wild child" in my head because she has such an adventurous heart.
She will climb the tallest building, jump off the scariest cliff, and in this case, balance herself on my bookshelf like a damn champ. We had a few concepts in mind for this shoot, but the bookshelf was by far my favorite. How can I not nerd out when combining two of my favorite things- books and boudoir?! I have arranged my house for sessions several times, but I never thought I would help somebody balance on top of my bookshelf, she absolutely slayed these though!
