Here's the Deal
October 3rd, 2008My friend Robin is going to take some family photos for us tomorrow. We decided that the three of us would wear blue jeans and a white top. Robin suggested that we should have long sleeves because elbows don’t photograph well. That put me in a bit of a predicament, you see. I don’t own a long sleeve white shirt. Ok, I do have a long sleeve tee shirt, but that hardly seems appropriate, right? I have white camis, white sports bras, white tank tops and white bras. Also, not appropriate. Is it?
So I set out on my mission at 11:00 this morning. It is now 3:00 and I just got home. I tried. I really tried to like what I thought would be appropriate for a family photo. First I thought I would try on some button down shirts. Geez, oh man, I felt like I was wearing a smock! Everyone of them that I put on made me feel like I should be in art class with a paint brush in hand. So totally not me!
Oh, then Robin asked me if I could bring a pair of high heels. That was quite a complicated question to answer. Do my casual shoes with a 2 inch heel count? How about stilettos? Surely that’s gotta be classified as a heel. How’s that for a family portrait?!
So what’s my style, you ask? I don’t have one. I don’t know one brand from the next or even care to. A Walmart purse looks no different to me than a Coach bag. I like to be comfy and warm. If I’m not comfy and warm then I’m sure I’m uncomfortable and cold but my boobs look good and my husband is happy. Well I am neither comfortable nor warm and my boobs looked non-existent in those family appropriate button down shirts!
So I ask the question again . . . What is appropriate attire for a family photo and I only come up with one answer. It is only appropriate that I be comfortable in what I choose to wear so that I can be myself. If that outfit is warm and comfy – great. If I’m cold, but my boobs look great – even better. I just gotta be me!!!
Watch out Robin! Here we come! Are you ready for the challenge of photographing the original Rock Star Family!!
