Fill the Frame

I was in Michael's the other day, and I found a very beautiful, decently sized frame. It's probably 20'' on the short side, but I forget the exact dimensions. I also bought a bunch of silk flowers while at Michael's. This is all on top of having recently purchased a 5' mirror from a friend ($20) and that beautiful sheer dress from Target ($27).

So, inspired by this beautiful empty frame I had to do a shoot with some of my new props.

The difference between the above and below images is simply that the ones below were shot through a (kind of dirty) 5' tall mirror.

Here's my big, big problem for you to help me solve: Which one is the best?

The images are numbered. Comment below which one you think should go in the frame (or maybe I'll print multiple? but then I need more frames!)

Laurel

Yesterday, I got to meet up with my favorite food stylist, Laurel (@sweetlaurelblog). This woman is such a peach. She always brightens my day.

I also recently acquired a very large mirror (very excited about this!) and the dress from target from the last post. I was taking some iPhone selfies. I may or may not spend today making a series of classical portraits if they were selfies ;)

Best wardrobe week ever...

I saw this floral button down and had a little flashback to last spring when everything I shot was floral. It's still a theme in my photography as a whole, but it used to be most of what inspired me.

I also got some incredible red lipstick from my sister for my birthday. So, thank you, Lane.

I was also having a rough day this week and decided to buy myself something impulsively. 

I got this beautiful dress at Target.

Of. All. Places.

It is currently adorning my dress form in my bedroom where I can walk past it and smile every day.

Roses

My birthday was on February 11th, and I had an amazing photo shoot with Nader at NBMA Photography. I'm soo obsessed with this photo from that day.

I also received flowers from my dad that morning. Naturally, they ended up in a self portrait photo shoot.

The above image is discouraging me from adding more furniture to my bedroom. It's the perfect little studio during midday (above) and in the morning (below).

It's so flawless. If I learned nothing else in Italy, I learned that if a piece of art is displayed in a space it ought to be in the same direction of light as is in the image itself. Brilliant, Italy. Brilliant.
