"Do you dress your models?"

"Do you dress your models?", originally uploaded by {felicia.renee} ✈p.h.o.t.o.g.r.a.p.h.y.

I have over 100 messages with questions in my inbox so I thought it would be fun to start answering them along with some photos for those of you have been asking.

This is one question that keeps coming up. Do I dress my models? To a degree- yes! I always tell parents the brighter, the funkier, the better! I LOVE colors and process colors that are brighter way better then dull colors (browns, blacks, greys). I have tons and tons of dresses, headbands, wands, boas, and hats that I bring along at the clients request. A whole gallery on my website is dedicated to showing some of my costume props. This has become a fun way to get kids to open up and have some fun! I am so glad to be partnered with GenMarie through littlest heroes, giving me access to Christine's beautiful dresses which have become a client favorite!

I am proud to say that I am a smart shopper and never settle for "base" price on any item over $50. I will never and have never paid $90 for a pettiskirt! I do a lot of hunting, sometimes for hours looking on websites for more reasonable prices and usually always come out with tons of things for WAY less. It all takes patience but it is totally worth it!

If you have anymore questions, feel free to message me!

Isn't she just too cute? I had a wonderful time shooting her and her sister for GenMarie. I fell in love with almost all of the shots! Hope mom loves them!

It's one of THOSE weeks...

Where nothing goes right
Everything goes wrong
But you can still get your camera and take silly sp's!

This photo is not one of my best photography speaking but it is one of my favorites because of the feeling it brings. She truly makes my heart smile. I have only known her for a few months but she has already changed me, for the better. She is a beautiful person inside and out and this moment captures her personality beautifully and right on. Alyways happy, smiling, and thinking of others. What an amazing person that I am honored to know.

Been practicing shooting in manual, loving the free feeling with focusing and DOF!

I did a lot of shopping today and updated my costume box and also made some awesome photo CD's and DVD's and am now working on some nice photo binders to take with me to share with people some samples and other things. Stay tuned! Can't wait to start shooting next year!
