I'm just floored with the images that Andria Lindquist captured on our photo shoot. I feel like most women say, oh I hate how I look in photos. And you know, we all have had our fair share of unflattering photos taken of us. When I try to take outfit photos I feel like I can maybe get 3 good shots out of 50, with the other 47 being great captures of my most awkward poses and goofiest faces. Photo shoots can be intimidating for sure whether we are taking photos of ourselves or are having someone else take the photos. It's just uncomfortable. But when you have that rare experience of being paired with a fantastic photographer, the whole experience can be a dream. And that's how I felt when on this shoot with Andria. I felt comfortable, I felt free, I felt like myself, and I felt beautiful. And as a result of how Andria cultivated an environment that made me feel comfortable and sincerely happy, I feel like she really brought out the best in me in these photos. Thank you Andria, I feel beautiful.























































Oooh, I love that crouching tree/hidden gypsy shot! Gorgeous work and gorgeous model!

Such beautiful work! Small world -- Andria just did the wedding photos for a couple at my church and I could not stop looking at the name and thinking I had seen it somewhere before... aha, it was here on your blog!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! Yea, Andria is soooo good. If you ever do a photoshoot with just you and your hubby, I'd so recommend her. She makes it really comfortable and lots of fun!

I think more than how beautiful you looked, the best thing about this is how you were glowing. I can tell that you felt beautiful and that's really what made the pictures incredible. Completely lovely.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, thank you Kristie. That is such a sweet and special comment. Thank you so much <3

ReplyDeleteThank you Danielle! I will have to print some out to keep :) My mom was a model so we have a few really gorgeous photos of her in her early twenties. Hopefully these can become like those photos to my future kids.

You are stunning and these photographs really do capture your physical and spiritual beauty. Andria did an incredible job because this entire set is lovely. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kate! I appreciate that a lot, because really physical beauty isn't as special as spiritual and emotional beauty, don't you think?

You look beautiful. And relaxed, really laid-back.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I checked out your blog and it was fun reading your post about personal style. You are so right. it's all about just having confidence and rocking what you love. I'll admit I was a lot more adventurous with what I wore when I was younger. But today I just care about wearing whatever makes me feel comfortable and beautiful, with a little bit of adventure. And it feels great :) Go you for promoting self love through adventure with what you wear!

Such gorgeous shots!! :) You look lovely..and totally in your element. I've been adoring Andrea's blog & photos for a while, now...always so stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! Yea, Andria's blog is so inspiring! She is a pretty amazing woman, and does some incredible things with photography. And it is additionally amazing because she is self taught and has only been doing this for a few years!
Deletexo Moorea
OH my goodness. SO SO SO beautiful. How fun for you to have these. Man. Perfect outfit choice too...adds so much to the aesthetic. I love that one of you that is vertical with your back up against the tree and the last one. I might have to blog these photos and show them/you/the photographer off.
ReplyDeleteYou kinda remind me of Ingrid Michaelson, have you ever gotten that before?
Aw you're so sweet. Feel free to repost them! Just link back to me and Andria and it's cool! And yep, haha, I do get the Ingrid Michaelson comparision a lot! I wear glasses everyday too so that makes me extra look like her :) I think shes a little bit dorky like me too so that adds an extra layer of twinsie-ness to us too, heehee.
