If you know Wunderkin, you know a polka dot tulle bow is a bit of a departure from our go to adventure-inspired collections, but Valentine’s day sure is a fun holiday to step outside the box. Our Valentine’s collection, launching January 15th at 10am Mountain Time, features a vibrant selection of pink bows inspired by that special LOVE between a mom and daughter. To capture this collection we held a simple photoshoot at our Wunderkin headquarters in Denver, Colorado and let the bows speak for themselves.
Looking on at their littles giggling in front of camera were five proud mamas. Mamas from different backgrounds, mamas with different parenting styles, mammas with truly one-of-a-kind daughters. It’s always a joy to see the personalities of the kids we get to work with and the mamas who are raising them. Having a headquarters outfitted with a space for photoshoots has been an awesome way to build relationships with local littles. Each time we hold a photoshoot, parents, siblings, and even grandparents tag along. We love the energy that families bring to our photoshoots. It somehow makes each photograph we take that much more authentic.

If you’ve been following Wunderkin for any amount of time, you will have definitely seen this ruffled romper (below) before. It has literally been in over a dozen Wunderkin photoshoots and still looks brand new. We love heirloom pieces like this because they are so timeless. If you don’t know Daughter Co, it is a natural, ethical childrenswear company out of Australia. All of their clothing is made from unique cotton and linen fabrics sourced from around the globe.

For this photoshoot, our awesome photographer Anna Boardman got some authentic giggles out of our mini models, asking them to repeat funny phrases throughout the entire shoot. Note to all the mamas out there trying to snap some good candids of their littles. 😉 The “Noelle Blouse” in cream is from one of our new favorite brands, CoCo and Manu. You can find the exact top here. It was the perfect neutral compliment to an 80’s pony featuring our “Darling Dot” Oversized Schoolgirl and our newest Wunderkin velvet, “Sweetheart.”

When we feature babies in a photoshoot, we never quite know if we caught them on a good day or bad day. If only you could see us mamas and Wunderkin employees dancing to “Baby Shark” in attempt to get the perfect shots. We make total goofs of ourselves but it’s totally worth it. It was a happy coincidence that this pink chair from Anthropologie (which we fondly refer to as the “mermaid chair) matched perfectly with all things Valentine’s Day.

We at Wunderkin are so excited for this collection, not just because it’s popping with pink, but because it is the first collection where we are debuting two new colors of nylon headbands. Up until now we have featured only one shade of nylon for our headband bow option (Shade 1). Through recent trials and tribulations we found this was not as inclusive as we as a company needed to be. We know it is long overdue, but you can now order any of the headband bows in this collection (and any collection here after), in three natural shades.
