I've gotten a lot less "timid" about taking blog photos since I first started blogging (almost) a year ago. If you're a fashion blogger as well, I know you can relate to that feeling!
I still remember sharing this story last summer, when a lady wondered what I was doing with my camera and tripod in the trail behind my house. Things have changed since then, and I don't just mean the photography.
These days, I really just shrug off the confused stares I get when people walk by and see what I'm doing. It's sort of hilarious, actually. I'm still waiting for the day when I encounter someone doing the same thing, and then we can be instant blogger BFF's.
In one of my more recent photo-shoots, I had a new first: The Post Man photobombed me!! I was just doing my thing, and saw the truck and just continued what I was doing. Then, I was looking through some of my shots, he yelled out, "did you get it?"
Totally awesome.
OUTFIT DETAILS:
Necklace - The Bay (Simlar(ish)) // Booties - Brown's (Similar) // Purse - Gap (Same)
Gold Spiked Bracelet - Stella & Dot (Same) // Belt - Gap (Same in other colours) // Scarf - Gap (Same)
Best photobomb stories??? Do tell!
On another note, to help launch my new Stella & Dot business, I'm self-hosting an online trunk show for the next couple of weeks. Check it out here. There's a "shop online" link you can click. Keep in mind, if you spend $50 or more at this trunk show, you can get 50% off selected pieces!! If you have any questions about how this works, send me a note: somethingaboutthatblog@gmail.com
It's so awkward when people watch you take photos of yourself but it's totally worth it when you get a great shot!
ReplyDeleteIt can be hard to get a photobomb-less photo in my neighborhood in NYC.
I can imagine that would be even tougher than in Toronto!
DeleteLove, love, love the ombre shirt! Haha, and I totally understand. I still feel awkward shooting outdoors. But hey, we gotta do it for the blog :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! I have a bit of an ombre obsession, so when I saw the shirt, I knew I had to have it!!
Deletelove!

Deletehaha so funny he was really enjoying it! I also relate to being less shy when taking pictures, it's much more comfortable now that I have been doing it for more than a year. Great outfit btw! love your boots :)

I'm sure I still have a ways to go, but it's nice to look back and see progress like that!
DeleteSuch a fun shoot, the postman is hilarious! you look gorgeous dear, love the ombre top. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious about the post man! So funny!
ReplyDeleteHahah I love it! I super duper love your necklace, too!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I got it as a gift and haven't quite found anything the same since. The Stella & Dot one I linked to is sort of similar, but definitely not exact.
DeleteThat is hilarious! And I looove this outfit!

Right?! Made me laugh so hard!
DeleteHahaha! That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I can totally relate to the awkwardness of photo taking! I'm sure my neighbors think I'm quite the narcissist for making my husband photograph me all the time! :)
Love the chunky blues and cognac! So great!

My neighbour walked outside when I was taking photos the other day. Ooops?
DeleteHahaha…that is so funny! I totally relate. Neighbors probably think I am obsessed with taking pictures of my self. Do not worry, I have gotten lots of shouts while taking my photos.

You've got such an awesome post-man! I have funny conversations with people all the time about how I am a blogger and mostly people are confused and think I mean tumblr or something. One day I'll bump into someone who actually knows what I'm talking about and we'll be best friends for sure too! haha

It's so funny, I always assume everyone "gets" it when I mention it in real life too...
DeleteWonderful look!!! I love the combo color of your top.

Haha! I think the postman's cameo makes for a fun, hilarious photo! (P.S. I feel like more fashion bloggers should post blooper photos.)

LOL that is hilarious with the mailman! I love it!! No matter how many times I take pictures, I never feel really comfortable. It has gotten easier, but it is still difficult. I don't think I will ever get used to it.

LOVE it! MY neighbors asked my Husband why I'm so self absorbed, because I constantly take photos of myself. I told him I do it less than they do on their phones, they are just jealous of my fab camera!
ReplyDeleteYou can be my bloggy BFF!
I truly love that necklace. IDK that it is (reminds me of the wicker coffee table balls) but I don't care. It's fab.

HAHA this is AMAZING! Your mailman is awesome! I still have a lot of apprehension about taking pics. It's so awkward having people stare at you and wonder what you're doing. I actually had someone take a picture of me with their cell phone while I was taking pics for a blog post. I think they just wanted to post it on social media and make fun of me! LOVE that shirt and scarf! Gorgeous!
