The above picture is one of my favorites for several reasons. 1. It’s Caroline, my daughter. 2. She’s wearing a pair of re-worked patch jeans we made – still LOVE them and still plan on making more! 3. I think it’s a super great shot from 5 years ago when I first opened my photography business.
Now to elaborate a little. Caroline is now 12! Where does the time go? She’s rarely in front of the camera because she’s always by my side assisting and feeding me her 2 cents on how the session should go! Next, the pants… sometimes called mosaic pants, were a pair of jeans we ripped apart (-simplified tutorial- by ripping I mean gently cutting the threads of the inner leg seam from one side, through the croch, then back down the other leg), randomly placing and sewing coordinating patches into place, and finally sewing the inner leg seam back together. Holy Smokes… they look so good… especially in that setting, tall dead grass, lake and blue sky, with a great photographer of course (ha, had to throw that in). As soon as I make my next pair, you bet they’ll be up here with more details because they’re easy enough for anyone to try! Hopefully it will not be another 5 years!
