Lela Is My Hero

I take my photos every day myself.  It has become a lot easier now that I have a remote.  I have always be so jealous of those ladies who have their own photographer (friend, boyfriend, husband) their photos just seems so much more natural, effortless and less posed...now I know why.  Instead of setting up the camera and tripod, running to a spot, pressing the remote and counting to ten...you just pose...  Lately, I have been getting frustrated with my photos, so I asked Lela who shares my office to play photographer.  She happily obliged and the rest is history...too bad she is not around every day!

I usually take about 40 photos each day in the morning if I happen to get to work early (almost never), during my lunch break or on my way to the car for the long ride home.  It can take me anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on how I am feeling, how comfy my clothes are, how may people walk through the shot (so annoying) or an array of other annoying variables.  With Lela taking my photos these last few times it has taken about 10 minutes at the most and I am not so focused on where to look, when to press the remote button, is the wind going to blow over the tripod...  I guess what it all comes down to, end the end, is that it just makes my life easier....

Lela...you rock my socks off!! If only she did not have a real job to do everyday.  Hmmm...if I could just pay her to take pretty photos of me every day...not going to happen, but I can dream!

On to my garments...love this fuzzy sweater vest!  But, besides how I styled it today, I am at a loss for how to wear it.  The few times I have worn it, I have styled it just like this, or with a patterned button up shirt and jeans... Any one have any suggestions??
