What to Wear | June

What to Wear will feature different palettes providing ideas when you plan the wardrobe for individual pictures or your family images during the holiday gatherings.

What to Wear | June features ideas for all family members: mom; dad; big brother; big sister and little brother and little sister. Have fun preparing your stylish look for family pictures!

It is not necessary to purchase new clothing for better images. When planning the wardrobe, do wash and dry the clothing. Immediately after drying, hang the clothes on a hanger. Or iron, if you like. The main goal is wrinkle free clothing.

Shoes do not need to be new either. New shoe laces is an inexpensive purchase to spruce up the look. Polishing leather or washing canvas shoes is another solution to brighten their appearance.

Have the socks match either the pants or shoes. This is important for anyone who may be sitting or squatting in the group. Imagine if the pants are navy blue, shoes white and you see bright green socks. Very distracting. Your eyes will go straight to the green socks and not the person’s face! However, if the socks were either white (matching shoes) or navy blue (matching pants), your eyes will flow over the person and land on the face/eyes of the person in the picture.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Photo Ideas | Photography Tip

Hi, have you ever looked through your feed on your camera or phone and thought, “why don’t my pictures look as good as I thought they would in my head?” or “how can I get my pictures to look better?” Don’t worry, we all do it.

Today I am going to give you a list of must have photo ideas to use on your next vacation, at your next family get-together, or special occasion to make your pictures fun, meaningful and more pleasing to the eye.

1.  Give your picture a “pop” of color and/or contrast.  For example, if you rented a red car on vacation, park next to a grey or white building and snap a photo.

2. Shoot from a different angle. Photos don’t always need to be straight on. Try an above or below angle to switch things up.

3. Add little memories to your photo. For example, take a photo of your ice cream cone in front of the famous ice cream shop.

4. Make people look little. Shooting from far away or at an elevated location, making people look little gives your photo big impact.


5. Golden hour photos (when the sun is just over the horizon) are always a treasure.

Word Less Post

Word Less Post

Hi, after visiting other blogging website’s I noticed there is a common theme of Wordless Wednesday. Today will be my word less post!

Just this past weekend, I had gone to my local library. There was a new structure close to the entrance. It caught my eye and I had to walk around the structure to figure out what it was supposed to be. After the walk around, I still had no idea. No door, no opening, the structure did not move. Does anyone have an idea? I would sure like to know what purpose this ‘thing‘ will have!

What to Wear | September

Hi, we have some holidays soon approaching and this means family time! With family time there will be many photo opportunities. Remember, taking the shot is the first step in getting a good picture. And that is the most important step. However, you may be wondering how to make the picture a better picture. This is the inspiration for the What to Wear posts!

It is not necessary to purchase new clothing for better images. When planning the wardrobe, do wash and dry the clothing. Immediately after drying, hang the clothes on a hanger. Or iron, if you like. The main goal is wrinkle free clothing.

Shoes do not need to be new either. New shoe laces is an inexpensive purchase to spruce up the look. Polishing leather or washing canvas shoes is another solution to brighten their appearance.
