OM baby photo shoot


Thank you for all your beautiful baby entries! We were so happy with the response, and all the great feedback on the collection. We ended up picking not one, but two winners for the OM baby model search. 

Introducing Venice...  


Venice and her family are preparing for a move to California so we were lucky to catch her before she jets off. Wait until you see her shots from the photo shoot. The camera adores her. Congratulations, Venice! 

Introducing Ella Grace... 


Ella is a natural in front of the camera. She was all smiles and struck a pose (and held it!) like a baby supermodel. Congratulations Ella! 

It was a great day. Old and new friends together with our little ones. Thank you to our friends, family, Lan our seamstress, and our little muses -- Avnee, Oliver and Charlie -- for helping bring this project to life. Shannon Echlin Photography you are a star! 

Can't wait to share photos from the shoot. Click here to see behind-the-scenes shots. OM baby launches Fall 2012!

OM baby model search

Calling all parents of 4 to 12-month-old babies in the Toronto area! OM home is looking for a baby to model garments for our Fall 2012 collection.

Submit a photo of your little one to info [at] omhome [dot] com with the subject heading: OM baby. Please include your child's age, what size clothing they wear and one fun tidbit about your baby. 

The shoot shouldn't take more than 1.5 hours and in exchange you will get all their shots from a professional photo shoot with the fabulous Shannon Echlin -- and your baby will be featured in our Fall 2012 collection! 

We will notify the selected by May 24, 2012, and post their picture on OM home's Facebook page.

Like us on Facebook for special offers and updates on the collection! 

Submission deadline is May 22, 2012.
 
Started by two moms, OM home's kids collection is a gender neutral line that avoids the trappings of boy/girl clothes. We are committed to making comfortable, colourful, locally-produced clothing -- clothing that doesn't define, but allows kids to create their own possibilities of who they want to be. Click here for a sneak peek.

OM baby's clothing and bedding collection is launching Fall 2012. Brought to you by OM home.

First look at OM kids

Thank you to our most trusted and stylish friends (many of them moms and dads) who were so generous with their feedback on the designs, styles and colours we presented over the past few months. 

It's still a work in progress, but we are so excited to give you a first look at OM home's  kids collection.   

This 2-piece pajama is one of our favourites to date. We are getting samples made in electric blue, orange, green, yellow, beige and pink (see below). No boy/girl clothes, just comfy, colourful clothes for kids.

Vibrant colours & patterns
We were so excited when this fabric arrived! We've sampled a range of products in this Jasper design including onesies, sleepers, hankie bibs...even underwear! 


Our little muses
Picture this sleeper and kimono top with cream (or maybe yellow) snap buttons. Oorbee Roy, OM home's designer, originally created this pattern for her wedding invitation. We are calling this design Avnee (in honour of a most special little girl). Sadly, my camera phone doesn't do this sweet pattern justice. 



Made in Canada
All our garments are designed and crafted in Toronto; just a couple of blocks away from OM home's office. 

Underwear 
This is a great example of a mistake gone good. A pair of my son's underwear was left under a stack of patterns, and our seamstress assumed we wanted it sampled. With our range of colours we could make a days of the week, 7-pack underwear set. Remember those?! I'm only partly joking.

Little hipster hankie bib
This hankie can also be used as a burp cloth or head scarf. One of my most stylish mommy friends swears by these bibs. Fashionable and versatile!

This is just a start. If you like what you've seen so far and for updates on the collection, please "Like" OM home's page on Facebook. 

OM home's kids collection is scheduled to launch this Fall. We'd love to know what you think of our first round of samples!
