Sunshine and Books

Being a photographer's wife has it's perks. And one of them is getting to go to great photography conferences!


This weekend, we're at a conference put on by Professional Photographers of Ohio. We went to this conference last year and it was amazing!


Aside from getting to hear some great speakers, I love getting to run around in cute outfits around photographers.


During some downtime yesterday, we did a mini shoot in the lounge in the hotel. We really lucked out as the hotel the conference is held out this year is gorgeous! Last year, it was a nice hotel but it looked very hotel-ish.


 I wore my yellow patio dress with red accessories for a bright pop of color. The entire hotel and conference center was done in blue and beige so I really popped!


There were also really large windows in this room. Lighting will make or break a photo so shooting by a window is a great way to help improve your indoor photos.


Aside from the window, there was an on camera flash and an off camera flash with a diffuser. A nice flash will also really help your photography. The tiny pop up flashes that come with the camera are not good.


Photos for a blog post work really well when you can tell a story. There were some old books lying around for effect so I picked one up to "read".



It's more interesting than just hey look at my outfit.


Although you do need some hey look at my outfit shots for a fashion blog!

There are more cute outfits to come. Get sneak peaks of the cuteness to come over on instagram!
