I’ve been getting extremely frustrated with my outfit pictures recently, snapping away on my own in my room with that stupid bed sheet hanging behind me, never getting the right light and even when I did, there’d be a vertical shadow from my window frame. Just hateful. I wanted to offer you better pictures. I know I’m not a model and I know my outfits aren’t ground-breaking, but I want the pictures to be at least worth looking at. So I tried taking the pictures myself outside, but it’s just not happening either. I just don’t have the patience.

So I reached out to Birmingham-based photographers asking whether they could spare some time for little old me. And Jess from Jessica Oates Photography said yes!! So we met up last weekend when it was all sunny and beautiful and tried getting some nice pictures done for you.

I hope you like them! Do let me and Jess know what you think!! And make sure you check out Jess’s photography on Jessica Oates Photography!! She is a very talented photographer with a great kit and most importantly A LOT of patience for an awkwardly posing, constantly babbling, nervous Maria.
