As we approach the end of what seemed to be an awful long winter season, I'm looking forward to taking more outfit photos outside in natural lighting. It truly is the best lighting for taking awesome photos of rich color laden garments. I'm still learning what angles look best for the camera, though. I've taken sooo many photos that aren't really that flattering to me in some pictures. However, I must admit I'm getting better at it. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. In fact, I've learned some tips from blogger Kim at Naturally Fashionable and intend to use them for future photo sessions.
More aspiring blogger goals on the radar are to get a new camera and tripod with remote. While I love fashion blogging, I've come to realize not everyone does including some family and friends. And it's like pulling teeth trying to drag my hubby or son to snap photo pics of me. They run the other way when they see me coming with camera in hand and a smile on my face...lol. But I won't let that stop me from documenting my style, my journey, my love... So tripod and remote it is. I have no idea what path fashion blogging may lead me to. However, I do intend to use it as an opportunity to grow, emerge and evolve my style all while sharing it in my little corner of the blogosphere in hopes to inspire others.
What are your goals as we approach a new season? Engage with me. I love interacting with my reader audience :)

Thanks, Whitney! Yes, I too have been purchasing a scarf, necklace and earrings here and there. And I totally, agree I must WEAR my clothes. Shopping my closet has been the best thing for my budget. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI need to check out Kims site for camera tricks. I love my new camera and tripod but until I learn the tricks I still prefer my hubbies help. Your outfit looks great today, I love these colors on you. Such a fun spring look.

Thank you Rachel! You must check out Kim's tips. She gives insight on how to pose making your body appear slimmer and how to angle your body to the camera. Can't wait to get a new camera. What camera do you use if you don't mind me asking?
DeleteAnother very cute outfit! It's funny how a scarf and some jewlery takes an outfit up a notch. I LOVE your hair - you look beautiful in curls! I hope you continue to blog. I think your writing is awesome and it's fun to get inspiration on outfits, color combos and accessories!
ReplyDeleteJillio, you're too kind! Thank you for the compliments! The new hairstyle has received rave reviews. I'm loving it as well. Thank you for the encouragement to keep blogging. That really made my day :)
DeleteGreat outfit! Really pretty colors. Like you, I need a better camera & tripod, too. I saw your post on WIWW. Mine from there is at http://www.midlifemakeover.me/2015/03/perfect-capsule-wardrobe-natural-style.html.

Deletesuch a great colour and a very pretty scarf. Thanks for linking up
ReplyDeleteThank you! I enjoyed linking up with you as well :)
DeletePurple is such a great color on you Kishina! I am horrible at posing and being in front of a camera no matter how many times I try. I will read through Kim's notes and hope I can put them in practice. Alice

Hope to see you Thursday for TBT Fashion link up.
Thanks Alice! I feel that some people can just nail it every time, I have to practice my posing in front of a mirror. And even then I feel my angles are not the best sometimes...bummer!
DeleteI like the sweater with the scarf. Thanks for linking up at Who's Wearing What Wednesdays at Pastries, Pumps and Pi!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tameka!
