I've always loved Ralph Lauren ads with their East Hamptons, Americana flair so I was blown away by Julie's set up. It's the perfect 4th of July vignette without being over the top.
This is my first time to go to the Jackson house for pictures and I've driven past it 4,409 times, but the view from the road does not do it justice. The home is a 1915 home that was relocated from The Heights district. I got a tour and Julie has posted a few pics on her own blog, but I still don't think the pictures do the house justice.
I liked this next shot with the blown (over-exposed) sky because it reminded me of those Ralph Lauren ads or the Abercrombie ads. So, here the over-exposure worked.
But, Cash wasn't so thrilled about the whole photo shoot idea.
So, I had to be quick with the button and ready to capture him when he found me the slightest bit entertaining. It was worth the extra sweat.
And Taylor is a breeze to shoot with her soft, unassuming smile.
Here's one from Julie's cozy porch.
And a slice of life I couldn't resist
Happy Fourth of July, dear Blog Friends.
