I had the honor of photographing Olio United’s 1st Birthday this past Friday.  More than just a boutique, Olio is a team of passionate people with a purpose. 

“Quite honestly, we don’t believe the world needed another retail
store…it needed one with a better purpose. At Olio United, we share
stories.”

Check out their story here

In celebration, Olio hosted a TOMS Shoes Silent Auction & Entermodal Pop-Up Factory with 100% of the proceeds going to Transitions Cambodia.  My friend Leah from TOMS had me come photograph the event.
