Fall Florals

i'm gonna start out by saying that i don't know how you fashion bloggers do it!  i've been desperately needing to update some photos for my blog and just other things in general, but i never really find the time and never have anyone to take photos for me.  but yesterday, as daylight was slipping away and i was out running errands, i happened to have my camera (and remote!) with me and i liked my outfit, so i found a good spot and snapped a few photos for myself.

i'm not going to lie...these were taken near some train tracks that run behind a grocery store.  and i felt pretty silly....is that normal?  luckily, only two people drove past while i was taking these (it was a fairly out-of-the-way area, after all!), and there was definitely a conductor on the train who was probably watching the whole thing.  i hope i gave him a good chuckle!

because i'm a photographer, i'm never quite used to being in front of the camera...i just never know what to do:  how to pose, where to look, etc.  i feel like i should be a pro at it...after all, i do shoots with individuals, couples, families all the time...but there's just something about being on the other side of the lens that makes me squirm a little.  but hey, i got them done and it wasn't terribly painful!  who knows, maybe there are more outfit posts in my future!









and here's the run-down on the outfit, in case you're interested!

shirt // bon ton

jeans // old navy

boots // bon ton

scarf // old navy

watch // betsey johnson 

bracelets // alex + ani

coffee (heh) // cinnamon dolce latte from (where else?) starbucks!

do you do outfit posts?  how do you handle your photography?  does being in front of the camera make you uncomfortable?
