My Life in Pictures- July 30th

Our gardens are one of my favorite things about our home here in Apex! I love to watch them grow and transform every year. And even though we complain about how much time and work goes into keeping things looking great, it’s beauty like this that makes it so worth the effort! This is one of my favorite spots in our garden, our picket fence, and my huge purple butterfly bush! In the spring and summer there are always an abundance of butterflies and dragonflies around this spot. It’s so lovely!

Happy Monday Everyone!

What to Wear-July 2012

This month we are starting a monthly post with some clothing ensemble ideas for the ladies, What to Wear. This month the garden is in full bloom and there are so many beautiful spots. I have found some beautiful clothing ideas for you all with breezy dresses, relaxed denim, and of course I had to throw in something fun and bright! I have also added my daughter Ashlee’s collection of lovely summer ensembles just for fun, and more inspiration. Enjoy!

Tuesday Tips- Shoes Versus Bare Feet in Portraiture

Today’s tip is about most every girl’s favorite thing, shoes. Shoes as we all know can make an outfit, show off your personality, and make your legs look fantastic! However, they can also date a picture, and they can be really distracting. My style of portrait photography is always geared to be timeless, relaxed, and natural, and so in almost all of my portraits, my subjects have bare feet.  Most of the time I am photographing small children, and with kids especially I always prefer bare feet! If you sit a child, you are almost always going to see the soles of their shoes which isn’t pretty, but also takes your eye away from that precious little face. The sole of a shoe is never going to be attractive as the sole of a foot, and kids do the absolute cutest things with their little toes! That being said, if you just can’t live without donning your feet in your finest footwear for your portraits, make sure to use the most important rule of fashion icons; Keep it Classic Darling!
