Short Survey

I love to hear what my followers think.  I've created a VERY short survey, so short it's only 3 questions, to get some input on what you all look for when choosing a photographer or are thinking of have professional pictures.

Sooooo, answer away!

The Keys

Ok-I'm diverting from my normal photo posts and want to let you know that I have fell in love.  Yes.  You read that right. I've always been fond of warm weather, clear ocean water (b/c as all my good friends know, the sharks know that I will be in the water and will hands down single me out and end my life right there), and the simplistic island life.  Well, I've meet my second love (Andy is my first, of course!).  I have a few pictures to share and show that i've found my home and am seriously looking into real estate and might sign a contract today. XOXO

It's been a long time.....

It's been a little while since I've last posted, but guess what? I'm back! I am super excited about this coming weekend as Andy and I (and a bunch of our good friends) are traveling to Key West! I'm so excited about it b/c as all of my friends know, that's where I am retiring :) so it's only normal that I get down there now and claim my island.

Ok-now on to the photography....

Similar to my last posting on clothing suggestions for a photography shoot (with Deirdre Ann Photography of course!), I have a few suggestions regarding clothing for maternity photo sessions. Being a photographer, I do set up styles and scenery, whether it be the natural elements or some enhancement to a background that was brought it. So, it be only natural that when asked for suggestions on clothing for your maternity photos, I suggest to following:

First and foremost-ANYTHING that shows off your beautiful belly! Empire waist dresses are always a great choice. Tanktops layered with a sweater over (see previous post) are a good choice too because the tank tops hungs your belly, showing off your cute baby bump.

Another suggestion is to accessorize! Accessories give the outfit a little more pizzazz and can make a casual outfit a bit more dressy. A big chunky necklace over a form fitting shirt can really pull together an outfit and make it pop a bit more. Also, wearing a thick bracelet or ring really adds more colour and spice to a photo when I am doing close ups of your belly, giving the photo much more visual appeal.

When doing more intimate portraits, with our without the daddy, an awesome piece of clothing that I LOVE is a man ' s button down shirt. It's timeless and still covers the areas that you might not want to show , while exposing the area(s) that you want to show. It's so simple yet gives so much emotion, I just love it.

Well, time to begin planning the trip to the Keys and going down my last minute checklist. 

TTFN! (that's for Morgan)

Back Home..

Well, I'm back home from VA. Had a great time and as always, it was way too short.  I, of course, brought my camera and took a lot of great pictures of Ross and his cousins, aunts, uncles, and of course Grammy and Poppa!  Here's just a few as I came back with a cold AND lost my voice-which depending on who you ask it's a good/bad thing. :)
