Portraits by Angie Lane Celebrate Life Blog

Well this is a day late because I was having internet connection problems yesterday. Today I wanted to focus on some really fun hand-made items. If you are not familiar with the addiction that is etsy, then you’re in for a real treat! Etsy is this great online market where people sell ALL KINDS of handmade items. I’m not joking (and neither is my wallet) when I say it’s an addiction! To shop on etsy just go to www.etsy.com and then do a search for an item or seller etc. I listed the names of the sellers next to the items I’m showing to make it easier if anyone wants to find their shop. 

I haven’t found many cute boy items so I’m just going to stick to girls today. One style that I think is so cute is to pair some of these cute tops/dresses with jeans or denim capris that have a cuff and plastic rain boots or ballet flats.  And another super cute idea is to pair funky leg warmers with tutus or petti skirts (or denim etc.) Who knew leg warmers would have a comeback?! And finally I am showing some of my favorite crocheted hats (many of you may have seen the ones I have).

(Oh, FYI, I did not take the photographs on these pages — they are from the etsy buyer’s listings.)

Fashion Friday is a new feature I’m going to start on my blog. Choosing what to wear for a session is probably the most stressful aspect of doing the photoshoot! So to help give you some ideas of things that work well,  I will post ideas I’ve seen in catalogs of outfits that are great for photoshoots. This week I am posting ideas for girls and boys. These outfits will work well in an Urban or Country setting. I’m listing the store where I found these items, but you can find cute outfits all over — these are just to give you an idea of things that would look good.
