I just posted my liking of this on FB, and I don’t twitter.
I’m really excited to post our very first Wear it to Work! We will feature looks for men and women alike. This particular look is for the laaadieees :D
Every piece pulled to create this look costs $50 or less, and I will do my best to stick with that in each post. I am, afterall, a girl who loves bargains. What does fashion mean to me? It is just a fun outlet that I’m thankful to have. No it isn’t a necessity in my life but I enjoy having a reason to feel good and get dressy! Putting effort into your appearance just makes you more aware of yourself, gives you confidence, and lets others know that you are the kind of person who makes an effort, without having to say anything at all! I wanted to call this one ‘Classy Edge With a Hint of Comfy‘ to sort of sum up what I adhere to when I go out shooting on location. I’ve been known to wear heels in the grass, but I don’t really enjoy that bit of it as much as I pretend to :P
The truth is, we all want to be comfortable when we go out shooting. As an artist however, I believe in making an impression and representing myself as both professional, artistic, and confident (AND someone who cares about my hygiene). Piecing together a look such as this, we are pulling in a few different elements, having combined a mixture of era, pattern, and colour. The top is more Victorian and romantic in feel while the pants are a bit grunge in feel, but that they are slightly form-fitting keeps them from looking messy. Next up we have our mixture of patterns ranging from floral to plaid to Plain Jane. The reason this particular combination works is because of the color selection and intentional pairing of florals as accents. When you are pairing solids with patterns, it is better to start with the patterned piece first and then select a solid color to offset the pattern. The shirt in this instance was an olive green color, and I chose complimentary red accents, starting with the adorable Floral patterned shoes from Forever 21. Since I’m in love with florals at the moment, I figured a nice touch would be to stick with florals for the remaining accent pattern to make the “clashing” of patterns feel more intentional, pulling the rest of the look together. The Red Jumbo Rose bracelet was the PERFECT little solid splash of red, but still patterned to mesh well with the bag and shoes. (And no, not all of my bags match my outfits intentionally, I generally stick with a basic black bag when I’m out shooting but digital shopping makes the world an entirely different playground haha!) Throw on some shades in case its a super sunny day, and voila, you are set!

LOVE This column. So very clever and inspiring! I think how we present ourselves as professionals AND artists is important. Just cuz we are behind the lens doesn’t mean we aren’t “seen”. :D

Sadly to say but I always have trouble with my wardrove lol… this is amazing, only I don’t think it would really fly in AZ being so hot and all lol. It would be an awesome idea if you could share proper outfits for summer, winter, fall etc.. :) just a thought. I love this post btw.

I missed ordering this and contacted the photo accountant and they said there was a grace period to still get the discount with the code TPP15. I was given permission to share this info.
Here is your chance to receive a FREE copy of The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer!!!
Photographers love the creative side of what they do. They don’t however usually like the “business side” of their business. Photographers often comment that they wish there was a way to make it easier for them to take care of their accounting. Keeping track of how much your company makes (income from customers) is not the only thing you must keep track of. You must keep detailed records of your expenses too; this is especially important come tax time. If you have kept detailed records all year, tax-time is SO much less stressful! However, it can be difficult to know what to keep track of, and how to categorize it.
The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer has come up with the solution! The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer is an easy-to-use Excel spreadsheet that was designed specifically for photographers. There is no prior bookkeeping or Excel knowledge needed. You get not only the Excel spreadsheet, but also a detailed Word write-up which not only tells you how to use the spreadsheet, but what items to track and how to track them.
The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer is not only an accounting tool. It also allows you to keep a customer database (good for marketing) and a job tracking tab. One product to keep track of customers, jobs, invoicing, income, expenses, tax deductions, and more!
To win you must:
1. Go to The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer Facebook page and click “Like” at the top of the page.
2. Comment on this blog letting us know why you think this would be a great product for you and your business.
3. A winner will be chosen at random on August 6, 2010 at 2:00pm EST
4. All others may use discount code TPP15 to purchase a copy of The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer at a 15% discount. The discount code expires with the closing of the giveaway on August 6, 2010 at 2:00pm – don’t miss it!

I think this would be a great tool for me because I’m actually just starting out in the photography world and I’m not even sure where to start with getting organized. This will be a HUGE help with all of the “behind the scene” paperwork. I really hope I win!!!!

Alicia Schneider - August 4, 2010 - 6:03 pm
this would be great for my company because I am so into taking the pictures that I sometimes don’t know what is going on with the business end of things! That is where my lovely husband comes in most of the time…but he has got his own thing going on and I need to get more organized all around!! Thanks!!
Connie McClain - August 4, 2010 - 6:09 pm
This would be a tremendous help to me and my (new) business. I am just getting started, so I need to have my “ducks in order.” This would help me out mostly because I really know nothing about taxes, accounting, etc. It’s just not my thing, and then with the added functionality of having a client database sounds right up my alley…so I hope I win!!!
Sarah V - August 4, 2010 - 6:15 pm
I am in need of a solution like this. My business is brand new and I am DREADING tax time next year because I don’t really know what I should be keeping up with now. I “liked” you on Facebook.

Bethany B. - August 4, 2010 - 6:48 pm
I am JSO and have been trying to figure out how best to keep things organized. Right now I have manilla folders for everything and notes galore. This will be a great tool to use to start off right and keep my business and myself organized.
Peggy Carty - August 4, 2010 - 6:50 pm
I just “liked” your fan page. I could use some Accounting Boot Camp right now. With life constantly distracting me from doing the the paperwork, I need something to keep me organized.
Andie Freeman - August 4, 2010 - 6:55 pm
I most definitely need this! Anything to make running this crazy business easier and faster!!
Tamee - August 4, 2010 - 6:55 pm

Kayla - August 4, 2010 - 8:00 pm
I became a facebook fan! I would love to win this giveaway. Like most photographers I think of the artistic side of the business and not always of the numbers that go along with it. I would love an easy solution to my bookwork.

KarenW - August 4, 2010 - 10:46 pm
I “Like” The Easy Accounting Solution for the Photographer on Facebook. I am so checking this out, as I need all the help I can get. Excel is too cumbersom and other accounting software I’ve looked at just isn’t geared towards us creatives.
KellieAnn - August 4, 2010 - 11:23 pm
For the last three months, I’ve been trying to figure out the accounting aspects for my new photo biz. This book would be super awesome to have right now! :)
Celeste - August 5, 2010 - 12:13 am
This program would totally help my business. I’ve begun expanding clientele and am now working toward more commercial work. I think it would help me in keeping track of expenses and line items as commercial projects expand or are continued.

Kristen Coleman - August 5, 2010 - 9:15 pm
Wow, this looks like an amazing product and just what I need. I started my photography business a year ago and I am so overwhelmed and unorganized it’s embarrassing!

Lindsey - August 5, 2010 - 9:17 pm
I would love to win this! I hate having to sit down and try to organize everything myself! And with two little ones of my own, it’s hard to find the time to do the “boring” part of my business!

Monica Dyer - August 5, 2010 - 9:27 pm

Michelle A. - August 5, 2010 - 9:27 pm
I’m completely null and void of all knowledge of the business side of running a photography company. If I could afford to, I’d shoot for free. But, alas, my husband would kill me if I did that, so I desperately need a good way to organize all of the information necessary to run this business effectively – and by that I mean a no-brainer, easy as sin, plug and play way, and This program looks like just the ticket!! PLEASE pick me, My husband and family will LOVE YOU FOREVER :D :D :D :D
Laura Gibson - August 5, 2010 - 9:31 pm

HOPE I WIN!
Chaz - August 5, 2010 - 11:00 pm
I’m a photographer. I’m not an accountant. I hate numbers. I need a tool to take care of all those numbers for me. Put them in their pretty little box so I need not worry about them. Other than budgets, budgets are fun.
Wendy - August 5, 2010 - 11:01 pm
Ohhhh my, I need this! The reasons are many….Keeping track of things is not a skill I am blessed with… :)

Simone Carter - August 5, 2010 - 11:40 pm
I have just ‘liked’ the page but I would seriously like to win because this is the side of the business I really ‘dislike’ and have no clue about. Maybe if it were made easier, I would start ‘liking’ it!
Terri Bleeker - August 5, 2010 - 11:44 pm
This is fantastic! I just finished creating a tracking sheet to track time spent with each client. This would be an amazing addition. I really want to do a better job tracking cost of sales as well as income and expenses. It’s a huge chore every year. This would be a wonderful blessing! Thank you. Following EAS for Photographers on FB. Looking forward to hearing more from her.
Heather Marie - August 5, 2010 - 11:44 pm

meghan - August 6, 2010 - 12:19 am
Brilliant idea!! I have been running my business for a couple of years now,and the ‘business’ side of things always takes me way longer than it should. This would be so helpful for keeping everything up to date when tax time comes around!!
Conni M - August 6, 2010 - 12:21 am
Managing my customer database, stress free invoicing, tracking which products are selling the most/least, and having piece of mind knowing it is all in one place easily accesible and up to date would be invaluable to me and my business!!
Thanks for the chance to win!!
Melanie Scott - August 6, 2010 - 12:21 am
This would be soooo AWESOME for me because first of all I have to keep up with family expenses for the sake of my husbands business…anyone who knows me knows that I am a horrible organizer! I LOVE doing photography and my new business but I honestly get scared at how I am going to keep up with everything doing both! I need help! Plus with everything you have to buy to build up a photography business…sigh.
