A few weeks ago, a blogger who I'd recently found (via Whitney) offered her services as a photographer to local readers. Lauren is building her portfolio, and I selflessly offered to meet her near Annapolis for a shoot next weekend. No, that's a total lie - I mean, I am helping her out, but I'm also excited to have some great photos taken of me and Charlie by a budding talent!
We're going to Quiet Waters; I've never been, but Lauren says it's beautiful and I confirmed that they're dog-friendly, so it should be a great afternoon. The plan at the moment is for us to meet a few hours before sunset to catch the light. Since it's a bit of a drive from my house, Mom and Dad are going to come and we'll all wander around historic Annapolis and the harbor for a while before Charlie and I head off to meet Lauren. (This isn't a town I'm familiar with, so please do share recommendations if you have any!) Charlie may or may not feel like being cooperative for the session, so my brilliant idea is that we'll go for a really long run in the late morning, let him nap during the drive, and then keep him relatively active once we get to Annapolis and the park so that he'll be sedate by the time we want to take pictures. (If you're a dog owner and have any other suggestions, please do let me know!)
A dress might not be the most practical for this in case Charlie decides to go bat-out-of-Hell on me, but I do want to be cute for the shoot, so here's something similar to what I'd like to wear. Perfect for an autumn afternoon in the park with your trusty canine companion and a photographer, right?
This is so cute! Those are great boots, and of course I love the doggie! :)
ReplyDeleteGo to Joss Sushi - it's fantastic and very affordable, plus it's right in downtown!

ReplyDeleteHow cute!! I am so jealous that you get to meet up with and have pictures taken by Lauren! She's a great talent. I love Annapolis, oh my gosh. I swore I was going to the Navel Academy after I visited my junior year of high school. There was fresh snow everywhere; it was gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteHi Betsy! Thanks for dropping by Seventeenth & Irving for the Charlottesville post. I love this outfit! Do you know if People Tree ships to the US? That dress is perfect for San Francisco weather!
ReplyDeletethey don't have stores in the States, but their website says they do ship to the US! I'll be going back over at Christmas, so I can bring anything back for you if you want - if you can wait that long :P
