Fall Wardrobe Inspiration | South Central Virginia Senior Photographer

Fall is here and with that comes cooler temps. As I was browsing Polyvore, I thought that I would share some of my findings with you all:) There are some new trends this year and I kinda just like fashion so yea, I wanted to share and talk about it! HA! 

Sometimes, its just hard to let go of summer. I know it has been very hard for me this year. I just didn't want the sunshine, tan lines, and pool time to end! If this is the case for you too, layering is a great option. One thing I do is just add a jacket....yep, shorts on and throw on a jacket.

Maybe you're a simple gal who doesn't like to go over the top with her outfits. Graphic tees are awesome (and fun) and go with anything! Jeans, shorts, even some skirts.

One thing that is on trend for this fall is velvet. And this is with everything...tops, bottoms, shoes, etc. And I really love the merlot/burgundy color palette so this set is so rich:)

I've also noticed that chokers are on trend this season. And they've already made an appearance at a senior session! 

Where are my boot lovers at? You just can't go wrong in the fall with boots. Add a little sass with boot socks/cuffs:)

So yea, I may not wanna let go of summer, but I can definitely have fun with fall fashion no matter the style! And of course, a good variety is fun for your senior session too, right?! I always get excited to see the layered pieces that are brought to senior photo shoots:) Boots, scarves, leggings, sweaters, jackets, vests, hats, everything! 

Which set above is your fave??

Back to School | South Central Virginia Senior Photography

It's that time again ALREADY and summer is winding down. School supplies have been purchased and backpacks are ready to go. But what about your wardrobe? Does it need a few fresh new pieces to kick off this new school year? OF COURSE! 

Here are a few tips for back to school clothing shopping: 

-Shop sales (more for your buck!)
-Thrifting and consignment stores (again, more for your buck) often have top brands at lower prices, some even still have the tags!
-Go with pieces that can mix and match....not all prints

Pinterest is so amazing not only visually, but to be able to find the exact content I'm looking for, especially when it comes to clothing:)  Here are some helpful links/images:

Jeans: 
Errrrybody wears jeans. They're easily dressed up or down too. Here are a few neat looks that I found on Polyvore:) You may already have jeans, so just pair them up with cute tops, add a jacket, or throw on some wedges to dress them up a bit! Mix and match:) 

Don't let summer end yet...wear colored denim!!

How about white denim? Lindsey nailed this outfit, giving these white jeans a dressy look by adding such a chic top! 

Back to school usually brings a lot of tension....but when you're wearing a cute outfit or know that you have comfortable but fashionable clothes, you can feel SO much better about returning to your studies. 

Happy First Day of School to the locals here! I hope you all have a great year! And enjoy mixing and matching outfits with your jeans:)

Floral Fashion Inspiration | Danville, Virginia Custom Senior Photography

Spring seems to finally be arriving, after what seemed like a never-ending winter! Florals are definitely among my favorites in current fashion trends. This week, Senior Style Guide shared outfits of the day with a floral theme. I loved them all and wanted to share them! Floral rompers are definitely on trend for this spring and summer...

 Head on over to Senior Style Guide's blog HERE to view the other 2 outfits, as well as where you can purchase each piece!

Ahhh, I love florals! Happy Spring, everyone!

Stay Stylish, Megan

Winter is cold and sometimes blustery. And can be plain out miserable. Luckily, I live in an area that is not like this ALL WINTER LONG...we often are blessed with nice days during winter, which has me chomping at the bit to get out there and shoot people! HA!

Another reason some people may avoid winter photos is because they think they can't look cute and not freeze to death at the same time. Well, fear not! I'm here to help with the winter fashion blues and can't wait to share some looks that I recently came across, as well as some looks from my own seniors!

Winter opens up a whole new realm of opportunity for expression through fashion. I ran across this blog recently that shares 60 trendy winter looks! Here is one of them:) LOVE this skirt and blouse combo!

Or how about jackets? You can still look amazing and be warm too! I love peacoats and trenches, but this embellished leather jacket looks amazing!

Fur is one of my favorites, and has def been on trend this season. I loved adding it in with prom dresses! But fur is a great addition to a plaid shirt or even sequin looks!

Don't fear the winter wardrobe when it comes to photos...you can still look amazing despite the cooler temps! I shoot senior sessions year round. If you're looking to book your senior portraits soon, just use the contact tab at the top of the page! I look forward to hearing from you and helping overcome any wardrobe blues!

Stay Stylish! Megan

Fall is in full swing!! I am loving boots for this time of year....

These images are from Pinterest, of course:)

I love booties, I have a brown pair and a red pair that I got last year. They seem to be more on trend this year though! And for my bday, my hubby got me a pair similar to the boots below, mine are a camel brown:)

Love the comparisons here! Click the image below to view more on these riding boots!

I am dying to have a pair of combat boots like these:

And you can't have boots without boot socks! You can purchase these below on Etsy! Just click the photo:)

And how about this tip?! Shop for old sweaters at Goodwill, then cut the sleeves to make cute boot cuffs!!!

Which boot style do you prefer?!
