An Opportune Moment


This week, my hubby and I set out for a nice photoshoot. A field of sunflowers was in bloom so we rented an antique couch prop and hurried over there.


These lovelies only last a week or so before they are done for the summer.


Unfortunately, even though we shoot early in the morning, it was still hot and sticky so my hair wasn't so great.


The secret to faking good hair is a great hat.



And the secret to not blinking in shots is to take pictures where you are purposefully closing your eyes. Or wear sunglasses.


For the shoot, I wore a me-made dress and vintage hat and gloves.


Love these yellow gloves! They make me feel so lady like!


It was so much fun to get to shoot with these lovely flowers!

  7. Your dress is perfection amongst all those sunflowers! I want a blue gingham dress now in the worst way. And I love how you accessorized with vintage hats and gloves. I'm trying to get up the courage and the know how to wear my vintage hats more often.
