2017, It was an exciting August morning in Australia as we prepared for our first-ever photo shoot to promote the opening of our boutique in Samoa. We had carefully selected the location, outfits, and model to showcase the dresses that we would be offering.

As our team arrived at the picturesque location in Merrylands, I couldn't help but feel nervous. This was our first big marketing push, and we wanted everything to be perfect. But as we got started, the nervous energy gave way to excitement as we saw our vision come to life.

Our model, Teri Suesue, was the perfect one to represent our brand because not only was she Samoan but she looked stunning in every piece. She exuded confidence and radiated beauty, embodying the spirit of our boutique and the unique blend of styles we offer. 

As we snapped photos, we kept playing Bruno Mars' Versace on The Floor on repeat lol. The sun was shining bright, casting a warm glow on everything and everyone around us. The shoot was a success, and we couldn't wait to see the finished product.

When the photos were finally released, the response was overwhelmingly positive. Our boutique quickly gained a reputation for offering gorgeous dresses, and we became a go-to destination for fashion-forward women in Apia and beyond.

Looking back on that first photo shoot, I realized it was the start of something special. It was a testament to the power of hard work, determination, and a vision. And as we continue to grow our boutique, we never forget the magic of that first day of shoot
