At the beginning of this year, one of the things I put on my list that I would like to do was to have more fun with my outfit shoots. Basically just to 'play', and I can say that is just what I have been doing so far and its been so much fun. The whole point of them is to just have fun anyway. I use them in a way as continual practice with my camera for when I do my real lookbook photoshoots. Learning light and angles is a process where you can never stop learning, especially now that at least 50% of my photos are taken on my phone these days... I can easily fall out of practice with my dslr. I'm also challenging to use my phone in ways I would normally my dslr too though, so its just been fun to keep pushing myself in seeing things in new ways through both. I also just got the new Beautiful Mess photo actions and Im having so much fun playing with them!
I am sooooooooooo happy that spring is here!!! (I actually still have a few outfit posts from winter I haven't even shared yet... but these springs days have just got me so excited) It has made James and I want to get out of the house alot more, even if its just doing little things in our small town. Yesterday we went on a little date to some thrift stores and our local wine bar. It was such a good night. After a while of us both feeling a bit out of sorts with each other, it seems like as the season has began to change, so has our interaction with one another. In ways, it has almost felt like we are dating again... Amazing how that can happen out of the blue after being married for almost 7 years.
Cheers to spring!
SPRING EQUINOX // BALANCE
Hello Spring Equinox...
I have always loved equinox's... I even chose to get married on one. I have a thing for finding balance, especially in the light and dark of life, so I guess that is why. The days where the light and dark are in equal proportion to one another. Both sides of life are so important to us for our personal growth and connection to self.
I created this image above a while back to represent coming out of the darkness and growing into pure light... But I think it can also represent the balance of light and dark perfectly too... It was such a fun shoot to create. It is not that often I set aside time to do creative photoshoots like this just for myself. They always end up being my most special photographs b/c they came purely for the sake of creating with zero outside agenda or people to please. These are the best kinds... I need to make more time for this kind of art.
