Im taking a wonderful class over at The Define School online. They offer all sorts of fun and fabulous photography classes, I love to keep up on everything new and exciting and to keep fresh and creative so I love to take at least 3 or 4 classes a year! The one I am taking now is called Inspired Child and is taught by the fabulous Shannon Sewell! You may remember I took an in person class down in Tennessee with Shannon a few years ago, I fell in love with her sweet heart and fun personality and am so glad to be sharing some time and getting some fun ideas from her yet again, she has such great energy and it seems to be contagious which I love!
My homework for this week was to spend just 30 minutes and put together something different and fun or new that you wanted to try and this is what I came up with. It was so fun waking up and getting right into class! I had not anticipated working on the first homework right away but my mind got spinning and I decided to just go for it while I was feeling inspired! I got my little Libby a teepee for Christmas and have been so excited to photograph her with it but hadn’t made the time to put a set together yet. I knew I wanted something super whimsical and I had these cute little twinkle lights I had wrapped around it to add a little more magic. This Chevron wall is up in my office and in a bit of tricky spot but I really wanted to test it out and see if I could make it work for a shoot. So I picked out a cute little outfit for Miss Libby, pulled together some silly glasses because Libby loves glasses, I hung a paper fan and ball from the ceiling, gave Libby an adorable Ostrich to hold and got to work! The whole thing took me about 20 to 30 minutes to put together and the shoot itself lasted about the same amount of time.
I am so in love with how these turned out and am so happy that I just went for it when the ideas popped into my head instead of over thinking it and putting it off for another time. Of course I’m partial to her cuteness but I couldn’t wait to share these here with you all! I have another assignment due by Sunday so hopefully I will have something else fun and new to share soon!
Love Lindsey
