What to Wear Wednesdays // Arkansas Family Portrait Photographer

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Another series of What to Wear!  Aren’t you super duper excited?!?!? (yes I just used the word duper!) I started doing What to Wear Wednesdays first of all, let’s be honest, bc it started with a W and it was something I could easily blog about on a weekly basis and I could get creative with it.  Secondly the reasoning was bc that’s the first thing I get asked from ANY session I book……well not weddings but you can obviously see why there……(although if you want to ask me what to wear to your own wedding I would gladly tell you!!! ).  So with all that said I’d like to hear some feedback on what you would like to see featured in What to Wear Wednesdays! What to Wear for Family Portraits

Elizabeth and Andrew // NW Arkansas Engagement Portraits

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Hey, Donnally here! I’m a new intern for Erika Dotson Photography, find out more about me here.

Meet Elizabeth and Andrew, a ridiculously cute couple! Erika threw me a camera, and I started snapping pictures… a great way to learn the ropes! Erika gave me a ideas for themes, I chose a first date theme for the couple because I thought it would be perfect for them. It was a fun shoot, complete with cupcakes from Bliss Cupcake Cafe, balloons, and lots of laughter. We shot the mini-session with them in downtown Fayetteville. Elizabeth and Andrew, recently engaged, were great to work with!

Bliss was a cute place to begin the shoot, owner Shelley Cassar, was happy to have Bliss as the set for the first date theme.

To set up the first date theme, Elizabeth and Andrew picked out their cupcakes.  Their taste of choice was chocolate milkshake and carrot cake. Yum!!!

*Erika here –  It was such a treat to be able to teach Donnally what I knew about photography this day.  I’m super excited to have her on board as an intern here!  Can’t wait for what is to come!  Be sure to check out her about page.

Yes, old fashion Coca-Cola was a must for the shoot!

I’ve got nothing for you… but meet the cupcakes.

Andrew kept blowing bubbles in the Coca-Cola, making Elizabeth all smiles.

*We thought it may be a bit awkward if Donnally wrote about herself, so here I am again.  I loved how she just jumped onto this table to shoot!  She’s learning already one of the most important factors on a shoot…..not worrying about your surroundings and how silly you look propped up on the table!  I love it!  :)

Gorgeous lighting.
