The Photographer's Wardrobe | Purple and Green

This was a challenge we did not want to end up looking like Barney. But adding in neutral colors with a pretty bold color combination can help tie everything together! So green and purple CAN go together without becoming a very annoying children's dinosaur.

Obviously, this wardrobe is more ideal for the photographer shooting an indoors wedding in the very late summer and early Fall. Here in Virginia, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing black pants for an outside wedding in August and September. Whew. I'd pass out!

I told you that the black short-sleeve jacket would pop up again!





WHERE TO BUY:
Chiffon top, $35
GAP bootcut pants, $60
Short sleeve sateen jacket | Lane Bryant, $60
Shell jewelry, $24
Gap scarve, $25
A2 by Aerosoles Echlaire Thong Sandals, $60

The Photographer's Wardrobe | Pink, Black, and Gray

I was pretty excited when I got this color theme request... since this weekend, my Through the Rose-Colored Lens workshop will happen! And its theme?! Pink and gray! So this has a little bit of a self-motivated interest since you know I'm going to dress in my own workshop's theme colors! ;)

For us curvy girls and long torso, get a waist belt to break up the black sweater! It can, of course, be worn without it... but personally, I'm one of those with a longer torso and I NEED that breaking up. haha!




WHERE TO BUY:

Ann Taylor button front cardigan, $68
J Crew scoop neck tank top, $48
Ann Taylor walking short, $58
Cole Haan flat shoes, $81
White belt, $32
Hair bands accessory, $28

The Photographer's Wardrobe | Black and White

Okay, I do love color, but there is something utterly classic about black and white. Something that screams, "I'm never going out of style!" AND B&W photos make my life. So it all works.

And of course, I'm going to pull from White House | Black Market since that's their whole business. (Side note-- WH | BM has been the ONLY place I've found jeans that are the perfect length for petite AND fit my hips. Worth every cent.)

A lot of these pieces might be recycled because they can just go with anything. And I'm ALL about reinventing outfits. I guarantee you will see the Lane Bryant black short-sleeve jacket again because I love the look of it... fun, yet professional.

Anyhow, I ramble. Enjoy the monochromatic theme this week!

The Photographer's Wardrobe | Navy Blue and Gray

So this all started because I told some lady photographer friends of mine that I love to dress in a muted variation of my couples' wedding colors. What can I say, I'm a theme girl! And basically they said I should do a weekly blog post on outfits photographers wear to weddings or shoots!

Since I already do this for Persuasion Boudoir, I thought it'd be awesome to extend the weekly tradition over to this blog, too!

I'll warn you now... a lot of wardrobe pieces will be coming from Ann Taylor/LOFT mainly because their pants/shorts/skirts fit my hips. I'm a size medium on top and a size 10-12 on the bottom with short stubby legs. Ann Taylor has been the ONLY place where their Petite bottoms aren't too short or too long on me. And they FIT me in the hip area. So, that is my PSA for this series. If you've got hips, you've got to try out Ann Taylor Loft's stuff!

So, without further ado... thank you, Virginia Ladies, for being the catalyst for this new weekly series posted every Monday: The Photographer's Wardrobe!

****************

It was only fitting I tie in my favorite colors into this wardrobe option. I love navy blue, I love headbands, and I love gray. I won't do "me" all the time, but I thought it'd be perfect for the first outfit!

I think photographers should feel comfy, beautiful, and professional when on the job. When I stopped wearing all black, guests approached me more and brides love it when I'm in "theme" for their special day. I'm rather dedicated to my photo-fam!! :)

So anyhow, Clarks shoes have been sworn to be super comfy for a day on your feet, and I can at least attest to their ballet flats. So I can't see why the sleek sandals would be any different!

Enjoy and be confidently stylish; don't hide behind that camera!
