2013 SENIOR MODEL – ELIZABETH LEDBETTER- SENIOR PICTURES INDIANAPOLIS

We’ve been shooting Elizabeth’s family for a few years now, and we always get so excited when they call!  No session with the Ledbetters is in any way dull or boring!  They always bring lots of laughs and smiles to our faces, and its goes without saying that they are all simply beautiful!  A photographers dream.   We had known we wanted to have Elly, which she is more commonly know, as one of our Senior Models since we shot her, also stunningly beautiful twin brothers, David and Ryan, back in 2009.  Since then we’ve done numerous sessions with the Ledbetters.

We did Elly’s shoot in Broad Ripple, which is one of our favorite locations to shoot our new Urban Locations sessions.  Elly did not disappoint!  She brought personality, style and attitude and that thing we like to call ‘IT’.  When someone just has that thing you can’t explain!  Thanks Elly, you’re awesome!  Look for more of Elly’s pictures later on this year :)

WHAT TO WEAR WEDNESDAY- INDIANAPOLIS SENIOR PICTURES

This weeks What to Wear Wednesday features six awesome outfit ideas.  Once clients get their session date squared away and on the calendar, one of he first things they ask, “Now, what should I wear?”. So we started  a style guide of suggestions to give you a variety of textures and looks to ensure you have the best senior pictures possible. These are not linked to any particular store for purchase but set up just to give you some ideas that you can find online, in your favorite boutique or department stores. There is no need to go out and buy all new clothes… I bet you have allot of similar staple clothing items in that over full closet right there in your room! Am I right? Well, at least on the over full part!  When planning out your outfits you want to plan each one from the tippy top of your head to the bottoms of your feet and all the way out to your finger tips.
Let’s take a look at the STYLE BOARD below:

  • Jumper and Rompers are HOT this spring! I love the soft subtle palette of colors in this one. This small- medium print is a good choice, but maybe you have one in denim or khaki. This would look great in the field with the tall grasses and beautiful sun rays streaming through your hair.
  • Pull your very favorite things out, you know the ones.. the comfy jeans and your favorite t-shirt.. now grab your leather jacket, scarf and combat boots and we have a totally rockin’ outfit with lots of style and flexibility.
  • A splash of color is always good and colored jeans are a popular trend from LA to NYC. Paired with a light breezy top and we’ve got a great look for our loading dock area or barn.
  • Coats, Sweaters and jackets.. especially fur trimmed hooded ones are always a favorite of mine to see coming out of the dressing room! Pair them up with fun fabulous fur or leather boots and we are ready to go!
  • A simple dress with scarf are a strong classic look for the tin walls area, the barn or maybe the willow tree area of the backlot.
  • Your cheer or sport uniform is a great way to put your personal stamp on your images… i know some of my favorite HS memories are from cheerleading and volleyball.Accessories are the finishing touch to a great outfit. Make sure you bring jewelry, scarves, shoes, boots, jackets, hats… anything that really takes your photo shoot to the next level.
