I had some photos taken over the weekend by my photography teacher, Arnold Klein. He likes to experiment with lighting and processing techniques and he needs willing subjects, so I took him up his offer to photograph us.
He is still selecting photos and editing them, but here’s one of his favorites. It’s fun to see yourself through someone else’s lens (literally). I came in with my coat on after running out to feed my parking meter, and we took a couple of shots with my coat collar popped.
I was doing my best to smize there.

Celeste
April 15, 2013 at 4:55 pmI was wrong when I commented the other day. Tucking your hair behind your ears is much better!
This is fierce.

Molly
April 16, 2013 at 10:57 amYou look amazing! I think the popped collar is the finishing touch. And the glasses look even more flattering with short hair! Totes fantastic.

Tanja
April 16, 2013 at 12:28 pmAmazing photo and love your new haircut! You wear it so well!
I’ve been letting my hair grow out this past 18 months, but now I’m itching to get my hair cut again. I don’t know…I always feel more me with a pixie cut.

HALLY
April 17, 2013 at 8:43 pmSince I cut mine in January (we actually have the same cut now)- I’ve been experimenting with different looks. Glasses, earrings, lipsticks, and popped collars!! I realized I can’t really do scarves anymore though, they make me feel like I have a tiny head and huge torso, oh well!! You look great… what does your husband think?? Mine doesn’t want me to grow mine out ever again!!
