hello there. your photography is ever so lovely. i love taking photographs, but my photos are always so simple compared to beautifully edited ones. what tips or advice would you give to people like me who are beginners and would like to take it to th…

hello milkyrose :)
my tip would be to not compare your work to others. i made that mistake and got myself quite depressed thinking that my work would never be good enough. i still think like that now but i have to snap out of it. Take pictures of ideas and things that you love and that you would want to see in a photograph. sit down and brainstorm ideas for shoots and give yourself a few weeks to plan it all. I write down the initial idea at the top of the page and then add notes on location, how i want to acheive the shot, props needed, people in the shoot for example. i give myself plently of time to plan so i dont feel so rushed and pressured.

in regards to editing, a beautiful picture doesnt need to be heavily edited. learn basics by going onto youtube and watching tutorials on how to acheive certain looks. If you want your picture to be really bright and sunny, type that into the search bar and tutorials will pop up all over the place. Serach google also and read forums and websites. everything i know is from researching myself. nothing is impossible to acheive. If it was,then people wouldnt be getting those effects.

I hope you don’t mind that this isn’t photography related, but where would you recommend buying baby things? Such as a pram and highchair? I want cute girly baby outfits too. Where do you get Elle’s stuff? All of hers is gorgeous! xx

hello!
we got her highchair for £7 from a charity shop :) and her pram came from a carboot. It was an old fashioned silvercross style one with the chasise frame and then the huge pram on top.

i dont like many retail shops for baby clothes. i love mama and papas but they are so expensive. i normally get Elle’s clothes from ebay, charity shops or car boots. Also there is a shop online called etsy.com where you can find beautiful handmade unique clothes.

oh i also love molly n jack by boots. they sometimes have lovely dresses and tights.

i hope that helps. i just do searches on ebay for rompers or dresses or search directly for molly n jack or mama and papas :) x
