Hey babes! Today we wanted to share our experiences working with MIDORI Bikinis on their lifestyle shoots and how it all came about! Midori Bikinis is a brand really special to us, they're one of our favorites and I'm sure they're most of yours too! Today Annalisa (The Merbabe) is telling her story first since she worked with them before Melly (The Gypsea)! We're so excited to share our stories so lets get right into it! Also, We worked on a blog post together for MIDORI Bikinis that'll be on their blog too! If you want to read it just click HERE! Annalisa The Merbabe's Story!Back in 2014 I was scrolling through instagram, I found them and my eyes were opened to the world of bikinis. I had always purchased my swimwear from Target, or Tilly's and the prices of the bikinis shocked me a little. I had only been been spending like $15 per piece. I ordered my first bikini from them later that year and I fell in love. Being someone with a bigger cup size and a smaller waist I had been searching for a top that would fit me and I had finally found it. Since then I had become a huge fan. I only purchased Midori and this is when I started wanting to take photos in swimsuits. I wanted to be featured by them and I wanted to be one of their ambassadors. Many swim suit purchases later I had applied to be one of their ambassadors and although I was not accepted I was fortunate enough to be asked to shoot with them April of 2016. The shoot was at the cutest house in Encinitas and was so fun. I met their ambassadors Mariah and Cayden who I am still friends with to this day! I actually wrote a blog post about my first time working with them and you can read it here! Since then I've collaborated with them for their 2017 line took photos of their suit while i was in Hawaii this past March. I have always love their bikinis and cannot wait to collaborate with them on their 2018 collection when I got back to Hawaii this December. I absolutely adore Rachel. She and the MIDORI team are always so wonderful to work with! This company will always have a place in my heart, they made me into the bikini addict I am today. Melly The Gypsea's Story!It's actually really funny how I began working with Midori! They casted me for a Styled shoot and it was like a dream come true!
So, taking it back before they even reached out, Annalisa and I were hanging out one day and she was telling me how she worked with them and how much she loved it! I began telling her how I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to work with them due to the fact that I knew how tight-nit they are with their ambassadors. At the time I wasn't too aware of their "lifestyle" shoots other than the fact that Annalisa had worked with them. Next thing I knew, and I have NO IDEA how this happened (the universe must have heard me talking about it) but, no longer than a week or so later, I GOT AN EMAIL FROM THEM! They wanted me to participate in one of their lifestyle shoots and I was so unbelievably happy that this dream was about to come true! The day of the shoot came and it was so amazing! The shoot was at a super cute tropical Villa in Southern California! I have a more in depth blog post about the shoot on my personal blog! You can read it Here. Anyways, I have worked with MIDORI a couple times since and love it every time, we are super close to each other as I'm based in Oceanside and they're in Carlsbad (the next town over) so its really fun to just be able to help them out last second or whenever needed! I help them out with shooting content of swimwear they need photos of for the 2017 line and I've even written a blog post for them thats on their blog! You can read it Here! I'm really looking forward to what 2018 brings with MIDORI and I! Maybe you guys will see some of their suits with me while I'm on Maui! Needless to say, MIDORI Bikinis is a company that I adore working with and I always appreciate how professional and amazing they are! Their team is so amazing and I leave their office with the biggest smile on my face every time I visit! I know you guys love them as much as I do and they appreciate all of you so much too!
