Red Boots Design is Today’s Featured Seller on Etsy.com!

Today is a big day over at  Red Boots Design as  my pal Erin Boyd is basking in the glow of being  today’s featured seller on Etsy! Erin has been one busy bee since she received the news that she’d be in the spotlight, and she’s been keeping her photographer pretty busy too!

We started May with an on-location shoot  at Joy of Pilates. With the help of Ella Eastham,  JOP’s owner, Erin  gathered a group of fit women to model her new line of workout gear!

 

For our second shoot, Erin gathered her friends Michelle and Craig  along with her cool boyfriend, Erik to model some new products for adults.

Next up I enlisted some of my favorite kids to show off Erin’s new designs for the shorter set.

     

And finally, just two nights before her big Etsy debut, Erin and Erik came over to my place to wrap up the show with a few remaining adult designs waiting for their turn!

Jen & the Yellow Wall

It goes without saying that we photographers tend to look at the world a little differently than most people. One of the ways in which this is true is the way we scrutinize walls. Whenever I'm out & about, I'm always looking for a good wall to use as a backdrop for portraits. You might wonder, what makes a good wall? Of course not every wall is a good wall- some are pretty boring and many are too cluttered with stuff to be of any use. Color and texture are the two things I am looking for in a potential backdrop wall, so it didn't surprise me at all when my photographer friend Jen arrived at our shoot down on State Street exclaiming "We've got to use that yellow wall!" I'd tried it before but it just didn't work with the portraits I was taking at the time. I'd have to say this time the yellow wall provided the perfect backdrop for Jen's sassy little costume and her husband's beautiful red accordion, don't you agree?

This is my last shot of the day and I love it. I have a thing for taking pictures of people walking away from me and I had to get one Jen carrying this big accordion case in her crazy costume. It makes me wonder... who is that? Where has she come from? Where is she going? And of course, I love the colors & textures of the walls : )
