Music Monday ♪

SO excited for today! It's a big day if you know what's good!!

I'm an absolutely huge and adoring fan of Eisley. Eisley is from Tyler, TX and consists of sisters Sherri, Chauntelle and Stacy, as well as brother Weston and their cousin Garron. To say that they're the most talented family in the world would be a serious understatement. They're all amazing musicians, absolutely stunningly beautiful and have the best vocals ever. You should also check out their cousin Christie DuPree too, because she is just as mind-blowingly gifted.

ANYWAYS, enough fan-girling for one day. The purpose of this post is to celebrate the wonderful release of Stacy (DuPree) King's new single from her solo album entitled Sucré. It's beautiful! I'm so excited for her album.





You can listen to her single "When We Were Young" here.

I'm looking forward to Eisley's new EP on Feb. 14, catching them on tour on March 23 in Detroit, and Stacy's album on April 10!! What an exciting year for beautiful music. 


Hope everyone had an amazing weekend!

Favourite Friday!

So I'm taking this year to seriously blog. I've started so many in the past but I've never followed through. I have thousands of bookmarks and photos and things that I want to share in a personal, thorough way. I'm thinking about sharing music, tutorials, my photos, experiences, things I like and personal goals. If I write about them, maybe it will make me more motivated to get things rolling!

SO Favourite Friday!

Over the last couple weeks I've really been organizing and rearranging things around the house. My favourite little makeover is my office space! I had a whole bunch of vintage frames (which I LOVE) that I purchased from an antique store in Chatham and an awesome antique birdcage that I got off kijiji.

I've got a lot of photo ideas that deal with this birdcage. I recently did a set of self portraits using the cage to cast a shadow. I tried it again with my friend Sheena just to do it without having to run back and forth with my self timer. Basically I set up a flash behind the cage, and had a reflector off to the side to light me up a little. Same set up with Sheena!

I want to take this bad boy outside and really get creative. I've got an idea in the works, and all I'm waiting for now is a cooperative weather day. I hate winter! Hopefully we'll be able to get this going in the next few weeks. I'll make sure to post about it here!

Here are some of the shadow photos I was talking about:




My love for shoes is maybe a little sick. However, I'm pretty good at talking myself out of buying shoes I know I'll never get to wear on a regular basis (hardest thing to do!), but that doesn't stop me from looking! I'm currently in love with platform boots. Talk about hot! As a photographer at fashion week I usually dress pretty simple - black all over, but lots of structure and texture. I sit in the pit all day, which gets extremely crowded, but I still like to look the part!

I'm considering buying there beauties for March when I go back to shoot! I just found this site yesterday while browsing Skunkboy Creatures. They're Promise Jocie Lace Up Platform Booties from Lulus. I'm in love with this site! So many cute items and their shoes are so well priced! In case you're ever in the spirit of  giving I'm a size 9! I like them all!!

Ok I couldn't resist...I just ordered them. =D

About

My name is Laura Berry and I'm a 22 year old photographer from Windsor, ON. I started my journey as a simple hobby and it has grown into much more. Now, a recent journalism graduate, I am exploring the world of fashion photojournalism in and out of Toronto. I've been published in several magazines in and around Windsor and the GTA, as well as Calgary Fashion, though primarily for FrontRowMag.com.

When I'm at home I enjoy taking pictures of my amazing friends, wonderful clients and beautifully aged buildings. More formally you can find me at the end of the runway for LG Fashion Week Beauty by L'Oreal Paris in Toronto!

I love meeting and working with new people. I frequent Chatham, London and Toronto so please contact me and let's have some fun!
