Tutorials: The Importance of a Reflector
So... The importance of a reflector.
I just learned this today, and went on the internet looking for cheap collapsible reflectors.
Unfortunately, I didn't want to spend $20 on something I could make myself for only about $2. So, I took an unexpected trip to Walmart and purchased a large sheet of white posterboard. I taped it to a large piece of cardboard that we already owned, and ta-da! My own reflector!
So... the importance of a reflector.
I realize I just said that. I said it again for emphasis.
A reflector will save you from unwanted shadows across the face, and brighten your subjects eyes and add catch lights to them. (Don't know what catch lights are? Let me google that for you.)
Here are some example photos so you can see the difference. The pictures on the left are with the reflector, and the right without.
EDIT: I was asked who needed to hold the reflector while taking the picture. For closer headshots, I had Megan hold it angled up towards her face to let the light reflect. For farther shots, I held my camera in my right hand and the reflector in my left hand angled towards her. It would be easier to have someone else hold the reflector, but it is possible either way! :)

So I hope all you photographers will go out and make yourselves a cheap reflector- it works magical wonders.

Tutorials: Bow Clutch
So I made the most gorgeous bow clutch! I was so proud of my scanty sewing abilities!!! And it made me learn something very important- the words "iron", "press", and "iron" are not in my skill set. Anywhere.
Start with your strap piece.
Move on to the knot of your bow.
Move on to the pieces of your bow.
It's time for the body pieces!
Interiors!
