{the workspace of Jessica Kettle}

I told ya it was cute! Jessica thinks this is a sad excuse for a workspace until her basement office is finished...I think it's adorable...and i can't want to see the finished basement!! {Let's keep our fingers crossed she gives The Savvy Photographer a tour for all to see}

Jessica said a proud moment was when a bride told her that she knew she was going to book her as soon as she walked into her house. Jessica says "I really want the space to reflect my style, and i think it does!"

Makes me want to see the rest of the house ...I'm loving her style!

Thanks for sharing your workspace Jessica!

Check back tomorrow for more amazing images from Jessica Kettle!

Meet {and greet} Jessica Kettle

{what to wear}

Need a little inspiration in the "what do we wear" department?

I always get clients asking for advice on what would look good for a family portrait...i love showing them what I think would make the picture really stand out and be fun. My client just booked a session for her five kids...and needed ideas {that wouldn't blow her picture budget} and here's what I sent her...from Target . The kids will coordinate...not all match...but coordinate {key word here}...

I also had several readers ask about the dresses my little girl wore for the images at Perry Cabin. Here's the info on those...the brown dress is from Matilda Jane...love those dresses! i love all the clothing from there. The cream colored shirt under the dress...and the pink polka dot dress and pink paisley dress were both from Target. In some of the pictures, she insisted on wearing the two dresses together...I gave in and let her...it worked {maybe} and I'll always remember that she chose it. And the boots...can't forget the boots...Target also...aren't they so cute! She loves boots...the first day of preschool she looked so cute in her brown corduroy dress {pictured above} and her brown boots. I chose the outfit and she loved it...then her new teacher said "how cute...she must have dressed herself !"... i had no response.

Have a great Sunday...it's raining here...great day to be lazy!

{Perry Cabin}

The Inn was fabulous...we dreaded coming home.

Thank you to the wonderful people at Perry Cabin for such a wonderful stay and making us feel so special!

I took {too}many pictures and I'm sorry to bore you with all the ones of my little dear... I just wanted to show how many great backdrops we will have for the "shoots" at the workshop.

Some of the shots were photographed in our hotel room...the majority were outside with the water as a backdrop.

I'll show more images of the Inn tomorrow.

Have a great weekend!

I'm absolutely in love with The Inn at Perry Cabin! We are here...and it is fabulous! I drove over yesterday with my daughter...had lunch in the adorable little town...and then we arrived at the Inn. It's so perfect for the workshop! I honestly think this place will be the perfect location {and backdrop}...it's beautiful! I'm taking lots of pictures to show you!

I'm off to have breakfast on the terrace {overlooking the water...sigh} with my favorite girl...
