Danielle Hall Images: Lucky Kids Launch Party!

I was so excited when I learned that Lucky Magazine put out their first issue of Lucky Kids Magazine. I bought it and ran home to see if I could “friend” them on Facebook! (Haha! I know…DORK!)

When I did the search I found that there was an event happening for the launch of the magazine. Immediately I began texting, calling and emailing people! I even called the magazine! I spoke to a sweet woman, Maureen, who told me that the PR department was out of town until Monday for LA Shops. I left my information and asked if it were alright if I called back late Monday afternoon if I hadn’t heard back from them.

Friday went by….the weekend too. FINALLY MONDAY! I was so excited to open my email and receive that invitation.! Aaaand nothing. 11am goes by. Nothing. I couldn’t wait any longer. By 1PM I started emailing everyone in PR and Marketing who was listed in the masthead of the magazine telling them my story and how excited I was.

20 minutes later I started to get replies! I was on the list and attached was my invitation! (YAY!)

Here was my email to them:

Hi _________,

I was extremely excited to discover Lucky Kids Magazine in the magazine store last week! The guy at the register asked if I was ok when I gasped "No Way!" and then, "I need that!"

I am in NY for a few more weeks from San Francisco and would love the opportunity to attend the Lucky Kids Magazine Launch party this Wednesday at the Stella McCartney boutique. Is this something I may just show up to or do I need to be on a list?

I specialize in photographing children and, as you can image, I am beside myself excited about the kids version of Lucky!

Hope you had a great weekend and thank you for your time.

Danielle

I was happy that the weather remained somewhat decent enough so that I could wear the dress I wanted to wear and knew was PERFECT for the event. (dress from www.daniellethedressmaker.com Yeah, her name is Danielle too!)

I walked in a little after 6 and immediately heard the buzz of excited children! Making my way through the room I received a few compliments on my dress, had a glass of Champaign in my hand and was offered to sign up for a raffle. There were juicy juice boxes for the kids, face painting, balloon animals and huge lollipops! There was even a photobooth set up in the back for the parents and kids to enjoy!

Well dressed moms and dads sat along side the long kids table playing with their kids. Activities like stickers, play doh, playful animal masks and coloring kept the kids happy and engaged!

It was cute to see the excitement on everyone’s faces. The new spring line was out and people were buying! It was cute to see one little girl so happy walking out of the Stella McCartney Boutique with her face painted, her new flower rain coat and her balloon animal. No doubt the children who attended this event slept well that night.
