Senior Portraits ~ Morgan

I was a bit apprehensive when I was asked to take Morgan’s senior portraits. Guys are always harder to photograph than girls – they don’t think your ideas are very good and they do NOT want to look dumb.

To my surprise, Morgan was super easy to work with – he tried all my crazy ideas for posing without complaining. Of course it helped that Reuben was there to make us laugh.

Now I’m excited to try more portraiture. Anyone want to volunteer as a subject? :D

   Portraiture is addicting, isn’t it? Next phase of the addiction is transitioning from asking for volunteers to roping your friends into it by force. ;-)

   I agree – guys are harder. I’d love to hear about your posing strategies/ideas. :)

   Did you take down your cooking blog? I get an error every time I try.

Adorable Baby Clothes for a Song!

I must admit that I have a weakness for adorable baby clothes. But I’m not a fan of paying $20 (or more!) for a single item of clothing. That’s why I love thrift shops – you can find gently used, quality pieces for a fraction of the original price.

Here are some of my recent finds:

I found this adorable dress at a second hand shop in town. The brand is “Liberty of London for Target.” I’m guessing that the original retail price was about $15-$20. It was half off at the thrift store, so I only paid $2.

Guys. I am seriously obsessed with thredUP. It’s an online shop for gently used clothing at a tremendous discount from the original retail price. I found a coupon code (now expired) that allowed me to get $10 off my first order. And shipping is only $2.99, so I got these two adorable pieces for only about $5. I’m sure I would have paid $30-$40 for them brand new.

AND if you use any of the links to thredUP in this post, you’ll receive $10 off your first order, and I’ll get $10 off my next order! Win-win. :)

Do you like to shop for deals?

   I am the same way about clothes. I love the style of the more expensive brands, but the prices are just not worth it to me. All three of our kids wear thrfited clothes that I resell when they’ve grown out of them!
