My Picks for Photographers

Are you a photographer? Me too. I always bring at least three different quilts with me to an outdoor photo session. Why? It is always good to have something for your clients to sit on if you want them on the ground. I personally hate getting my nice clothes dirty, and you don’t want to ask your clients to do that! The quilts also add some color and texture to photos.

With 120 new quilts this week, it is overwhelming to look through them all and choose the best one for you. So, I picked my favorites (84 out of the 120!!!) for a photo session. If I was running out the door today for a family session, I would grab three or more of these quilts below!

I try to grad one or two quilts with lots of blue fabrics. Blue seems to always match whatever my clients show up wearing. I then grad a quilt that is more multi colored because they always match too. I then find one with more white. This fits my style and will match well too.

These are all available tonight (Thursday, 8/29/2019) at 8PM CST. They are in order by price below and not by my favorites (I would take any of them with me). The prices below range from $225 to $30! Simply click on the photos to see their flaws, measurements, photos, and prices!

Shout Out | Jacquelyn Arora Photography

One of my favorite things is taking photos for people I know and care about. Jacquelyn, of Jacquelyn Arora Photography, nailed this photo shoot. She takes pride in producing photos full of emotion and connection. This is why she loves documenting families. She has known this adorable (these kids y'all) family for 10 years. I love how Jacquelyn photographed them as a *family*. So many tickles, so many laughs, and so many snuggles. They ended their session letting the kids run around under her Stitched and Found quilt and then some final snuggles. 

Meet the Photographer

Meet Jacquelyn! She is born and raised in Westerville, Ohio. Her heart is with photographing families because she loves to capture raw family moments, emotion, joy, laughter, and even tears. She feels so lucky that she gets to do this everyday and to be able to give families such delicate, heartfelt memories. 

She began her journey in 2010, after her son was born. She is self taught but is always learning and loves online education. She was a labor and delivery RN for 10 years but began shooting more and more and over the last 3-4 years has gone full time. She has three kids (twin boy/girl age 4, and a 7 year old boy). They keep her extra extra busy. Her kids don't always love her constant documenting, but her new dog, Norman, doesn't mind the camera one bit!

Monday's Faves

Every quilt is different. I always have the hardest time choosing which quilt to take with me to a portrait session. I don't always know what outfit my client will be wearing, so it is hard to make the best decision on colors. I tend to take at least three quilts with me to a session (but I end up with about five, ha!). I take all three, but end up using one (maybe two). There is always one that matches *perfectly*. I always grab a quilt full of blues because they seem to match best. I then grab a quilt that is full of different colors. This will ensure that it *should* match my client's outfit. The third quilt is typically an additional multi colored quilt (because they are all so different), or sometimes I will throw in a quilt with lighter colors or more white. 

These three quilts below are three that I would take with me to a photo session if I had one today (wait, I do! So, if they are still available tonight at 5PM, I will be using one of these!). They are all still available on my website, as of 8AM, 10/30/17. 

Nine Patch Quilt - $135

This extra cozy quilt is perfect for outdoor sessions! It does have more pink than normal, but it would still show up well for photos and match most outfit combinations. The hints of green and yellow help it to match other colors besides pink! I have a crush on this quilt.

Patchwork Quilt - $125

This quilt is perfect for fall! These warm colors would work so well with the changing leaves. It would also pop well against the green grass during other seasons. I love the range of colors and a pop of yellow is always a good idea.

Variation Quilt - $115

This fun quilt is a favorite of mine. The pops of green would work great for an outdoor family session. The other areas of the quilt are a range of colors helping it to match any color combo your client shows up wearing. The green (similar to blue) tends to match really well with outfit color choices.
