Postcard from Ghana: Fashion Shoot

Another of my Global Mamas volunteer assignments was to coordinate a fashion shoot for staff, volunteers and friends to model the 2010 clothing line.  Here are some of my favorites from the day shoot:

On the left, a great portrait of staff members Kennedy (front), Amos and Sabina (back).  Right, staffer Joyce snuggles with Adrienne, daughter of GM volunteer Ann.  Adrienne was on break from her Ghana studies; although she photographs like one, she is not a supermodel in her spare time.

Staffer George, the volunteers’ go-to man and tour guide:  Don’t you love the green on him?  My idea.  🙂gmamas4

Left, Amos works his charm on volunteer Meredith.  Right, a sweet moment between volunteer Emi and one of the babies.  Emi is a long-term volunteer through the Japanese equivalent of our Peace Corps and a clothing designer.  She designed many of the new fashions in the 2010 catalog.

As you can see, Amos is quite the ladies man.  This little one doesn’t know what hit her… Aren’t they cute together?gmamas7

This little girl is so adorable I would have run off with her if her attentive mom wasn’t standing two feet away.  So expressive!gmamas8gmamas9

As the sun started to set over Cape Coast, I pitched a quick run down to the beach for a cover attempt.  We lost all the babies along the way, but most of the staff and volunteers made it.  Here’s my pick for the 2010 catalog cover.  Plenty of room on top for the Global Mamas logo.  Can’t wait to see what the powers-that-be choose:
