Gettin’ Girlied Up…

March 28th, 2008 @ 4:21 pm by Mrs. Cherry Blossom

….. for them E-pics which seems we’ve been waiting eternity for.

Next weekend, Mr. CB and I finally take our epics with Scott Robert. Check out his last esession for Angie and Jon. They are one good looking couple!!! I hope we’ll look as hot, fun, and fierce as them!

I can’t wait but then I realized, man I’m cutting it kind of close and I’m still not sure about the outfits and locations we want to epic in!!! Need yo help ladies!

Excuses excuses for my shardiness but we took this in like 5 mins after I woke up from a nap.

Ignore the little hair funk I got coming out of the left side of my face in the hair up version of these two pics. YIKES!

I also wanted a third more casual fun outfit with tops like these from Abercrombie paired with jeans and some adorable flats I got from Aldo.

So what do you think? Hair or hair down? What about the dresses and the shoes? I’m a little iffy about the pumps with the white dress. Got suggestions? How many outfits/changes did you do for your esession? How about locations? I’m clueless as of now. Need YOOO help chicas!

From these tiny pictures my vote would be for the white dress/hair down combination as the most flattering. And I like the pumps with the dress.

I haven’t done e-pics, but I would think as long as you don’t go over the alloted time you can change as much as you want.

I want all the shoes. I like the second dress on you better, and even though I love the Bandolino shoes, I think it will look better with the Gap shoes. I would go with the pink top rather than the green one for the casual outfit–the print in the green top could be odd in a photo. However, then you’d be in two strapless outfits, and my preference for the white dress exceeds my recognition of the print no-no rule for pictures. Re: your hair–how about down w/ one outfit; up with another?

We did two outfits and two locations.

i say white dress/hair down/bandolino pumps!
i think the white dress will look nicer in pictures instead of just black. i also think that the pumps would make for great shoe shots! :)

haha first i read the title as “gettin’ grilled up” and i was like “miss cherry blossom is buying a grill?”

i am with snmcdowell, I like the black dress and hair down picture best too! You look so pretty and more youthful (in a good way) with your hair down.

I like both dresses– could you fit both of them into the shoot? To complicate things further, I like hair down with the white dress, but up with the black, so in my vision, you do a little on-the-fly hairdressing too!

If you do both, I’d go for the casual knotted flats with the white and the black & white pumps with the black to give it a little kick.

You’re going to have to come up with something pretty wacky to answer Pengy’s stiletto-jump challenge, but I know you’ve got it in you CB! ;) (Just make sure you have pretty undies on…)

@beanchar: good one beanchar, i dont know if i can top pengy’s pics man. that was truly awesome but she did suggest haight to be a awesome spot for one of our locations.

i was planning to do 3 outfits. my gfs said the black looks too businessy …. not cocktail enough. tough choices.

and yes on the fly up and down do’s would work just not sure what with each.

thanks for the suggestions yalls, keep em coming.

I agree, white dress/hair down. Not sure on the shoes (I’m not a shoe person).

As for locations, you’re looking for spots in/near SF right? My husband and I did our 1-year anniversary pics at Baker Beach, which has an awesome Golden Gate view, plus it’s a beach. There are some great spots up on the dunes there for pics as well.

Another one I saw in my photographer’s portfolio was Muir Woods. LOTS of beautiful pics in the trees/meadows/etc.

There’s always Golden Gate Park, the Palace of Fine Arts, or Chrissy Field as well, depending on what type of look you’re going for. I always wanted to take pics in the North Beach area - cute restaurants and coffee shops and such.

I’ve also seen some great ones from the Berkeley Marina, if you want to venture that direction. There are SO many great photo ops in the Bay Area!!! I love living here.

I really like the black dress in the stock photo, b/c the lighting shows the interesting details. In your photo, it looks very black and severe, not too much fun for epics! But your photographer should know a thing or two about lighting to make it look great! I vote for black dress & hair-up =)

I like black dress and hair up show more of your face. Since it’s spring time you should find a more colorful dress i.e yellow, pink, or light green
but that’s only my suggestion

anthropologie - http://www.anthropologie.com has some nice dressing for the spring season

My favorite that suites you is this one

http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=8141416615875963493&id=730167&parentid=APP_DRESS_SOLID&pushId=APP_DRESS_SOLID&popId=APP_DRESSES&sortProperties=%2BmarketingPriority%2C-saleDate&navCount=15&navAction=poppushpush&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=gol

you’ll be smoking hot in this one

Actually I like black dress hair up - but it sounds like any way you go will be a winner. What do you love?

Definitely hair down - so sexxy ;-) All the outfits look good but I think a punch of color would give it more oomph - shoes, sash, necklace, flower in hair, you get the picture.

Black dress, hair half up, half down! How’s that for mixing it up? :-)

I like the white dress, it’s cute, but white doesn’t photograph as well. Wedding dresses aside… I say go for black… timeless.

Casual tops are cute, go for the non-trapless one… usually more flattering and has more interesting details closer to your face.

Have fun and don’t be afraid to be goofy!

I love the white dress. Makes you look summery and semi-bridal at the same time. And actually, the black and white shoes don’t look bad at all. Its a nice contrast from wearing all white shoes.

Don’t ask me why, but I vote for hair up. Hair down kind of hides all your features.

good luck! can’t wait to see all the pics! *squeal!*
