Happier than the Morning Sun



The plan to get up early to take photos outside didn't really work because it ended up being as dark and gloomy as after dusk for the whole day, so we had to get creative with some indoor photos. Luckily, I thought that this flared and pleated skirt had a hint of 50's housewife to it, so the well-lit laundry room seemed perfectly fitting!

    Jen, very creative! I have yet to find a good spot in my house to take blog photos. I tried to wake up early too but it won't work. It's freezing outside in the morning and it just kills my mood :) You must be a morning person

    Oh Jen! Your smile makes my heart jump in joy. While a lot of bloggers pretend to be "cool", you give us your beaming smile and it's so refreshing.

    This looks totally stepford wife and gorgeous. :] I think the impression has to do with the fact that you shot in the laundry room haha

  18. jen, what you said means so much to me *big hug* i do freak out too if the angle isn't right or things are just a little blurry. oh whatever we're all people. photographs aren't always perfect. i think consistency is more important than perfection. that's what i think. how i act should change to fit that too :) hopefully you'll be seeing more posts from me soon! your photos are great. even if they're not as amazing as they currently are, whatever. you have fun and your beauty shines. we all need to let go a little haha

  20. jenny jen! i'm back!
    i have the same problem with the light lately. i find that the best thing i can do is just to take pics on the weekend. other than that i would try i guess inside the house. i have been wanting to do a housewife shoot with the laundry but i dont actually have a laundry room. been thinking of actually going to a laundromat. i have a dress that looks exactly like the 50's style houswife. have never worn it.
