One Shot: Style Spot

Casey Snipes

We first met Casey at a sidewalk sale last summer when she was coincidentally drawn to a high waist long black sequin skirt. Who doesn't like a little sparkle? The dress pictured above hits so many of our favorite trends - sequins, Gatsby, pastel - really, the list could go on. It partners especially well with her pastel pink ombre hair. 

This girl has some great style, to see more - check out her own style blog Tres Mignonne.

A Look Back at Summer Camp, by Harold&MOD - Our First Video Shoot

Harold&MOD presents: Summer Camp from Ponter Creative on Vimeo.

We can not stress enough how providential our beginnings were! We met Charity Ponter, and her hubby Chad casually at the first 2nd Ave Sidewalk Sale, and I'm pretty sure I was rude to them. I was driving an 80s Mercedes that summer day, and the AC went out. No big, I was just moving furniture and clothing racks (we were probably too ambitious for a sidewalk sale). After a day of baking in the sun I saw Charity walking up, sweet as can be, with her camera and I specifically remember saying, "Don't photograph me!"

Later, as I was scanning instagram I stumbled upon her profile and saw that her husband did film. (I'd been dreaming of a fun Summer Camp Video, but again, didn't know how it would be possible). I lurked her photos for a while, and then off to Starbucks. Low and behold, I ran into none other than Charity!

She agreed to work on the project, but it was all so last minute. . .

Locations and Models were solidified the day before the shoot, and we managed to film the whole thing in less than 4 hours in two locations over an hour a part. 

This was our first time working with the Ponter's AND many of the faces you see in the photos. This became our community.

A Look Back at Botany, by Harold&MOD

Botany, by Harold&MOD, presented mid spring 2013.

Our first go at campaigning, inspired by peeks of color popping out of the grays of winter. These photos captured by Birmingham based photographer, Edward Badham set the precedent and standard of campaigns to come. Only two months after our first event, a glorified estate sale, these photographs highlighting Harold&MOD clothing and furniture appeared in B-Metro Magazine in a four page Editorial.

Models (above L - R Jenny Opal Wells, Kaylor Bennett, Timothy Kortman)

This was also our first time working with Terez Underwood, make-up artist and owner of Blush Juliette.
