A Nutcracker Christmas: Dreams, Dance & Couture

# A Nutcracker Christmas: Dreams, Dance & Couture

📍 Brightwood Studios, American Fork
📅 Saturday, November 9th | 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Step into a fashion fairytale this holiday season. Join us for A Nutcracker Christmas: Dreams, Dance & Couture—an editorial photoshoot blending the magic of The Nutcracker with the elegance of high fashion.
We’ll be shooting inside Brightwood, a restored vintage two-story house turned creative studio. Our group will have exclusive access to the entire bottom floor, featuring three unique Christmas-inspired sets:
🎀 The Rose Room (Solarium) – soft pink elegance, glowing with frosted florals and whimsical charm.
🌲 The Cozy Evergreen (The Nook) – warm, nostalgic textures for an intimate holiday mood.
✨ The Conservatory – airy and light-filled, transformed with a stunning Christmas overlay.
Each space offers its own distinct style, perfect for capturing everything from Nutcracker-inspired couture to dreamy, modern holiday fashion.

## Details for Photographers

📸 Photographers who RSVP: just show up at 2 PM ready to shoot! I’ve planned everything—the models, makeup artists, and wardrobe.
⏰ Timing: Shooting begins promptly at 2 PM. No early birds. We must be fully wrapped and out of the space by 5 PM sharp.
💡 This is a natural light studio, but feel free to bring additional lighting if you prefer.
🎨 This shoot is for portfolio building, not a workshop. However, I’ll be there if you have questions, and you can always learn from your fellow photographers by watching them!
