Practice makes perfect
It’s no secret that I aspire to be a great photographer. Right now, I consider myself just ok. Maybe some days kind of good. Otherwise, I usually don’t like most of what I put out. I guess we’re all over critical of ourselves….but I truly just wish I’d morph overnight into something fantastic. Until that actually happens, the saying practice makes perfect rings true to me. And since I have 2 beautiful babies to practice on, it works out great.
Last week I showed y’all the dresses that just came in for my girls. My Etsy obsession is no secret. Specifically my Etsy obsession with Momi Boutique is no secret. I dream of a collection of dress after dress from Rachel’s shop for my girls. They’re not cheap but omg, they’re gorgeous. You just don’t get much better than this.
So so far it was going well. Then Hannah decided she wanted to use a flower for a prop.
My only regret for the day was not getting a good picture of the 2 of them together. Livie just wasn’t interested in sitting very still so close to the water. And really, I was nervous as hell shooting her by there because I just knew she was going to crawl off and fall in before I could grab her. It’s my worst nightmare, really.
So, I still consider it a good day. Got some cute pics of my babies modeling dresses from my favorite Etsy chick.
Next up: Etsy rehab. Because I need it.

I was floored at how much those dresses cost. Not that I have any real frame of reference since I don’t buy many baby’s dresses. But many of my dresses don’t cost that much and I am not growing out of my clothes (hopefully!) They are beautiful and the designer is clearly very talented, but those matching dresses are costing you a pretty penny! LOL

it’s crazy how much they are but i figure they’ll last for a few years because i can let the knots out and make them longer. my girls both grow up and not out (wide) thank God or else it’d be a total waste of money LOL.

What’s amazing about your photography is … you get better all the time. And your practice is turning into a wonderful history of your family.

Whatever you are better than “OK” you are really getting good Becky. You are too hard on yourself! Your models and their dresses are to die for too. ADORABLE!

My grandma used to buy my cousin (that she raised) those dresses that are always on display at the fabric stores. Your girl’s dresses remind me of that. And you are a wonderful photographer.
