Suitcase

It's all about timing. To have great photos in my apartment, I have to time it perfectly with the best light of day. Since I usually am working during that small time this occurs, I am often unimpressed with the photos I take here. It's now 1am and I thought I would see what the pictures would look like. Once again, blah. I have to either wake up super early, or be at home at high noon. I must wake up early and get a head start with the sun. Not tomorrow, but maybe Sunday? Haha, we'll see:) But I photo shopped these to look half way decent. 

I love this little corner of my apartment. I've collected these suitcase over the past year and I just them as decoration. Not to mention the fact that I use them for storage. But in the morning, gee it just looks so beautiful! And this is the same dress I photographed at my family's home for sale. I just don't think I can part with it though. It's just so darn cute! 

Here is the difference....

So much better! I didn't have to color correct this at all! Morning light is the best light. 

Turkey Day Photos

I wish i could come to my families home every time I wanna take pictures. Every time I'm here I find new places to photograph. It was such an awful rainy day yesterday, so I literally got up early and started listing new things on etsy and trying new things with my camera. Despite the fog and the rain, the lighting was perfection! This may be my favorite room in the house. It's so warm and plush. 

So this was what I found yesterday morning.

It's always so nice to be home. The downfall is not being able to stay longer or go out and explore because of the weather. Next time....
