Tutus for Babbaloos! -Softball

Getting involved in the community and with charities is something we continuously want to incorporate into our business.  So, when we were asked to do a Calendar photo shoot benefiting Breast Cancer, we literally jumped for joy at the chance.  Our job was to take photographs featuring the “Manly Men” of Milwaukee in their everyday professional settings while sporting a very chic and fashionable pink tutu.  Hello...who wouldn't say yes!

The project coordinator, Mandy from Reinhart Attorneys at Law , was wonderful to work with.  She is in charge of selecting the men around Milwaukee who will be featured in the Calendar.  (So many men, so little time :)  As much fun as it is to see big strong men in girlie tutus, we did not forget the main goal of raising money and awareness for The American Cancer Society.  

This particular shoot featured the local Kilpatrick Idiot Crew Softball team.  The guys were eager to wear the pink tutus and really support the cause.  Not only did we get the shot for the calendar, but we also got a few pictures of the guys goofing off and being themselves.  We had a lot of fun with this photo shoot!  
Here is a sneak peak:

Here is the picture that will be in the Calendar

The guys loved posing, no matter what they might tell you!

Their team name is the Kilpatrick Idiot Crew.  Wonder why?........:)

The Calendar is called "Tutus for the Babbaloos" and will be coming out this October.  Keep checking Snapped for the exact release date and a list of locations to purchase the calendar to support a worthwhile cause!  Also, watch for another post on our next Tutu shoot coming in July.

One quick Sugar Snap update:
We are constantly evolving and testing out new ideas for our business.  If you noticed our pictures look a little different this post, it is because we added our new watermark and tightened up the framing around the photos.  Thank you for supporting our business by reading our blog!  

Special Thanks to:
Kilpatrick Engine and Transmission for allowing us to photograph a fun group of guys & Reinhart Law for putting this all together!


Sugars (things we liked)
-Very happy with the turn out and support from the team for the Calendar.  They were so awesome about donating their time and modeling skills!

-The fact that we get to be involved in something soooo cool!  This cause hits very close to home and we love helping in our own little way to make a difference.

Snaps (things we learned) 
-We had a last minute location change because the field we originally planned on using was locked!  (Actually, this could be a Sugar because the other field we used ended up being better for the look we wanted)

-The weather was very hot that day, so Melissa had to keep it short and sweet.  She made it work and still had enough time to get the right shot for the Calendar.

See you next post
