Project 52 week seven {Vintage Ellieana}

One thing that I have learned from this Project so far is that

I absolutely love my little umbrella and off camera flash-- {something I didn't really foresee happening}

But it is pretty much miserable and cold outside here most days in the winter and very cloudy so even with my big windows I still don't get a whole lotta light-- so makeshift sun just upstairs whenever I want it-- so fun!!

 Lately we've had just a lot of impromptu photo-shoots just because we could! I bought this cute little dress from D.I. a few months ago for $2 and have absolutely adored it on my little Ellieana- so I wanted to get some shots with her in it before she outgrew it.

I'm working towards saving up for some nice seamless paper backdrops and stands but until than we've just used our little wall. Which is kinda a little boring and plain I'll admit it-- so for these shots I was mainly messing around with editing styles-- seeing if I could make something somewhat boring {other than my adorable model!} into having a little bit of style.

I love the look of faded hazy photo's but I like my subjects to still have their coloring and bright eyes-- well that is something that I have found can go very very wrong and just look weird so I was practicing that on these-- still not really feeling like "yes! That is the look" but I'm okay with them :) We'll get better and keep practicing!
