What to Wear Wednesday: February 15th

In honor of the gorgeous sunny weather we had here today I am featuring a What to Wear springtime outfit! Im always looking for someone with a great eye for fashion and style to be featured here on my blog on What to Wear Wednesdays so if you are interested email me (heidiscaseyphotography@live.com) or use the contact tab to get more information.

Navy and Gold by heidikc featuring stone jewelry

If you haven't noticed, I'm a huge fan of neutral colors with bright accessories to add that extra pop of color to make an outfit stand out. I don't know about you, but I always dread shopping for shorts. Finding that perfect pair of shorts is almost impossible! The shortie shorts are super cute and I adore the longer length skinny shorts but if you are like me (on the shorter side) they aren't exactly flattering. I personally am super excited that the flared mid-thigh length shorts are back in style! As a mom I'm always looking for a happy medium between stylish and appropriate.

As always if you are searching for ideas on what to wear to your next photo session or if you just love getting ideas for your next shopping trip, check out my what to wear board on Pinterest and get inspired!

What To Wear Wednesday: Featuring Suzi Spillane

Its another What to Wear Wednesday! This Wednesday is extra exciting because we have a featured guest writer (my wonderful fashionista sister) Suzi Spillane.

She, like me, has become addicted to polyvore.com and creating oufits. If you would like to take a picture of an outfit that you have created or spotted out or if you want to take advantage of polyvore.com, send me the image or link and a short description and you might just get featured on the next What To Wear Wednesday : )

Black and Gold by spillanesm featuring black high heels

I composed this outfit from polyvore.com because it represents my personal style. I see this being worn to a nice dinner, perhaps on Valentine's day for those with special plans.

The skirt is my favorite item because, well, it sparkles and who doesn't love to shimmer a little?

Peplum is everywhere these days so I incorporated the bustier black top, which cinches in just the right places but is flowy at the bottom just in case you decide to order dessert ; )

The shoes give this a vintage feel with the peep toe and ankle straps and I think they pair well with the pattern of the skirt.

I chose accessories that compliment the outfit without stealing too much attention.

I realize these particular pieces are most likely unattainable, so substitute by grabbing the sparkly skirt you wore for new years and pair it with a structured top and heels. Make the skirt the star and for those in chillier regions, add black tights and a blazer.

Mom & Daughter Session: Brittany & Berlin

Brittany and her gorgeous daughter Berlin, met me at Mac Anderson Park for an afternoon session yesterday. Little miss Berlin was full of energy so we got plenty of action shots. She is such a sweetheart and even gave me a hug when I left.
I love sessions like these where I get to truly capture the relationship between two people. I loved getting to photograph the interaction between Berlin and her mom and I really feel like their love and personalities really shine in these pictures!

Fun & Flirty Session Follow-up

Yesterday went great! I was so exhausted last night that I didn't get a chance to post anything but I just want to say Thank You to all the great girls that booked and to my wonderful assistant for the day, my sister Suzi. And Thank you soo much to Brittany Morrow for being such an amazing make-up artist and pampering the girls!

The day started off great, even though it was a little rainy and cold. We had a great location with lots of windows, gorgeous hardwood floors and incredible natural window light. I wanted to make sure our girls felt comfortable and special so I pulled out all the stops! I had trays of fresh fruit with a light fruit dip, coffee and yummy mimosas (liquid courage I think one of the girls called them) for each girl. As each girl arrived we had a full setup waiting for them. They were whisked into the makeup chair where Brittany worked her magic as they enjoyed snacking on fruit and sipping on mimosas and afterwards I filled in as hairdresser. I wanted the girls to enjoy the entire experience : )

It was such a fun day and the girls did so awesome. We got so many great shots, which of course will not be shared due to our iron clad confidentiality agreements but I still wanted to share a little of the day with you!

What to Wear Wednesday 2/1

Its Wednesday and you know what that means! Its What to Wear Wednesday : )

I am obsessed with Pinterest these days and through finding all kinds of what to wear outfits to add to my boards I came across this great website, www.polyvore.com, where you can create your own outfits from scratch. I love playing around on that site and putting together ideas of outfits for photo sessions, a fun date or even just everyday wear!

This outfit is a great one to show how accessories can completely make an outfit! This is especially true for photo sessions. You can take a neutral color and add colorful accessories and take an ordinary outfit and make it into a show stopper!

Take a look at my Pinterest boards for inspiration on other What To Wear outfits!

Go on over to the polyvore website and start creating your own outfits. I'd love to see what you come up with, and would even love to feature your outfit on a What to Wear Wednesday! If you are interested, email me your outfit and a small description,

a little love on a cloudy day: The Whitakers

Most of the time when you wake up to a dreary, cloudy sky on the morning of your photo session it can be a little discouraging. But here is an awesome session I just had with a newly-wed couple, The Whitaker's, that shows just how awesome your pictures can be even on the cloudiest of days! As the photographer, I know that the cloudy days are the ones that can bring out the richest colors and can get results that sunny days cant compare to.

We had a great time snapping pictures all over Brittany and Wesley's property. We ventured across the street to a gorgeous green field with a hint of mountains in the distance, made our way back to their front yard where I fell in love with an old rusty blue lawn bench and discovered a few antiques at their grandmothers old house. Such a fun day!

They seriously are the cutest couple aren't they?
