As most of you know, I’ve been taking my own pics with a tripod & remote since the beginning. I’d like to think my pic quality has improved over the years. Anyone remember when the pics were always on my front porch? LOL. But there is one thing that has always been consistent and that is how I edit my images. I LOVE light & bright airy photos that show true colors. And mostly…light & bright is much friendlier to my 43 year old self. But today I decided to try something a little different.

BTW, I STILL (respectfully) disagree with every single photographer that says cloudy days are better to shoot. I will never agree that it provides one big lightbox! Ha! It provides harsh lighting and shadows on me. BUT, with a few clicks in Lightroom…these photos look like they were taken on a cloudy day. What do you guys think? Do you like the light and bright pics or are you a fan of this darker style? I think this darker edit is kinda growing on me!

By the way, as soon as I put this outfit on…I knew my husband would not be a fan. But we all know that doesn’t change a thing! HA! Unfortunately my blazer is several years old, but I linked to some similar styles below as well as a few of the other items I’m wearing.
