Meet Olivia!

There is a new face at Hillary Anne Photography! Olivia is a high school student in Frisco, and I connected with her through their Independent Study & Mentorship Program. She has a great eye and already has quite a bit of experience in shooting for the Texas Legends basketball team and has had work published in the Dallas Morning News. She is super smart and sweet and I have loved getting to know her and teaching her what I do.

Meghan & Tyler Wedding, Part II

2011 Spring Fashion Trends

The recent snow and ice has made me wistful for the Spring, bright colors, and fun dresses. And it looks as if 2011 is taking its cues from the 70’s. Think high-waisted flare pants (move over skinny jeans!), wedges, military influences + feminine styles, sheers, and simple simple simple! Forget the over-embellished everything. Forms tend toward the loose and flowy, which means it is crucial for the pieces to be well cut to suit your body type! Colors will be white (lots of it!), pale neutrals, bold citrus shades, turquoise (spilling over from last year), & of course, honeysuckle pink! Other popular trends look to be…
•    A-line coats
•    Mixing patterns/prints of the same colors (being careful so as not to look like the crazy bag lady).
•    Flatforms (platform + wedge)
•    Trench dress
•    Preppy accessories (vintage is great)
•    Big bangles
•    Lace
Hurry up, Spring!
