♥ most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.


although i'm a fashion blogger- i must admit that i get embarrassed about 
having my picture taken. i never seem to know what i am supposed to do with my 
hands in a picture (!!?!)  and i generally feel badly asking anyone to take pictures 
of me for too long without being accused of being vain.

at camera ready boot camp, we were each lucky enough to get a few portraits 
taken of each of us by the lovely & talented kate drew miller. 

i waited until the very end to go, hoping my nervousness would wear off as i
watched everyone go up and bravely face the camera. 

when it appeared there was no one left to take a picture of but me, 
i grabbed a petite pollen bouquet & posed! kate was so much fun to work 
with, that my self-consciousness disappeared in seconds, and my
ridiculous faces came out right away. if only she could take my outfit
 pictures every day..♥

do you ever feel worried about having your picture taken?
how do you make your hands look more natural?

14 ♥ love notes.:

  1. Your adorbs; I never know what to do with my hands, which is why they usually end up awkwardly on my hips. Or hanging. Or I'm dangling my left hand about so peeps can look at my ring.

    I'm weird.

  6. I am a lifestyle blogger but from time to time will do outfit posts and the entire process is INCREDIBLY awkward! I never know where to look, stand and what to do with my hands. You on the other hand look fantastic and I love that dress!
