{Say hello, ask me anything}

If to say it once And once only, then still,
To say: Yes.

And say it complete,
Say it as if the word
Filled the whole moment
With its absolute saying.

Anonymous asked: any suggestions for what I should wear for my engagement shoot? it will be in april so it shouldnt be too cold outside...were having our shoot in a forrest. thanks for the help!

Hi, sorry it’s been so long! 2012 has meant switching jobs, planning our honeymoon, etc, etc!

Wear something that’s very you. That’s all I can say. I struggled with what to wear and ended up wearing my favorite ragged jean cutoffs, flowy bohemian top, and Hunter Wellies or barefoot. I changed into a dress and cowboy boots later, but my favorite shots where we look most like “us” was the first outfit.

That said, I love bright colors against a darker backdrop, such as a forest. And since you’ll be in nature, you might consider going with a natural, comfortable look … maybe barefoot, skip the high heels, loose hair, boots, a billowy dress …

Check out this couple’s sweet outfits for their shoot in a mossy Northern California forest, shot by Punam Bean, for inspiration.
