EVERYONE DESERVES A PHOTO SHOOT

This post today is really off topic, but I wanted to thank my photographer, Emily Brown Photography, and my make-up artist, Lauren Fisher, for all the work they put into a photo shoot for me.

I felt really silly for having a photo shoot all by myself, but I love this photo of my Mom who died four years ago and I think it's important to have some nice photos of yourself for your family.


I've never had my make-up professionally done before for a photo, so this part was especially nice. Lauren is really good and so easy to work with. She applied fake eyelashes, which I loved. It made me want to get eyelash extensions.


Emily has a great studio with a lot of light and windows. I wish I had prepared a little better for the shoot - I wasn't very organized and I wished after that I brought some different clothes. Isn't that the hardest part?! What to wear...

I think we are going to do another shoot and I will prepare better. But with that said, I love the way the pictures turned out. And most importantly I felt really pampered and special that day. If you want a good gift for a birthday or mother's day, etc. a photo shoot like this would be perfect. Contact Emily Brown Photography and she can quote you a price on an individual shoot + makeup artist. It's really affordable and totally worth it!

  4. Gosh, good idea! Especially since as moms we are always the ones behind the camera. I needed a head shot for something a couple months ago, and the ONLY close up I had of myself was a picture of me in the NICU with Finn a year ago. But how sad to think Tate wouldn't have a good picture of her mother to hold on to. Great idea!
