How To Take GOOD Photos of Yourself (+ all the equipment I use)

Hey friends! I’m sure that you’ve seen all of those gorgeous Pinterest photos of influencers living out their best lives, and I think we’ve all asked ourselves, “How on earth do they get such amazing photos!?” Some of them are lucky enough to have a family member is a pro photographer (and enjoys doing it 😉) or actually pay a photographer for sessions. But you’d actually be surprised at how many of them take photos themselves.

I get it though and if you frequently take photos of yourself (by yourself) than you’ll know the struggle. Sometimes it can take HoUrS to get that perfect photo for your Instagram, blog or other social media account. After years of begging family members and friends to help me get photos, I’ve finally figured out how to take photos of myself and you guys it’s so much easier than I could have imagined. For this blog post I’ll give you all the equipment I use + all my tips for taking pictures of yourself that I’ve learned from almost 5 years of blogging!

Pumpkins & Sunflowers – Aesthetic Fall Photoshoot

Hey guys! I haven’t posted any fall photos on here yet but the other day one of my friend’s and I went to a pumpkin & sunflower patch and I just had to share some of the photos we got with you all! My friend actually just got a new camera (it’s so good you guys!!), so we thought we should do a fall photoshoot and she had the idea of this super cute fall pumpkin & sunflower patch. It was chilly the day we went but we still had so much fun and I can’t wait to share some of the photos!
