All Her Mary Janes.

Posted on by Kellie Van

Hello! Hope everyone is have a FABULOUS Wednesday! It’s quite busy here as I am preparing to get us ready to go on our week long cruise.

I’m packing Zoey’s shoes for the trip and bringing 4 of her Mary Janes. I’m excited for her to wear these w/ her spring dresses. We’ve been cooped up for way too long up here in the Northeast and it’s time for my little one to dress like it’s really spring outside! 

I have a problem- no it’s not buying too many shoes for Zoey. It’s taking too many photos of the same thing. When I shoot, I kinda get in the zone and just keep clicking away! Today, I challenged myself to keep it simple. Sometimes, less is more, right? The goal is to take ONE great photo per pair of shoes and collectively create one common story. 

I wanted an extremely simple background to make the shoes the main focus. The gray hard cover book was perfect for it’s neutral color and the blush pink/pale yellow tulips were PERFECT against it. 

Zoey should not have any problem matching any dresses w/ these four colors of Mary Janes.  It’s good to be prepared and have options! 

‘Til next post, Kellie.

  11. Great post – reminded me of the beautiful velvet shoes I had as a child. My mother was always careful to buy very good shoes and we used to go to a family owned store where, when trying on shoes, the assistants sat on little stools in the shapes of animals. I loved going there – consquently, as an adult I still love shoe shopping and have lots and lots of shoes!!!!

      1. Hi! I draw lots of animals with fun personalities… You can see examples on my ‘Comics’ section. I have a whole cast of characters. My main character is ‘Puppy’. He’s in love with a beautiful yellow duck and his best friend is a break dancing turtle named Carl….

  20. Great job on the photos. Simple yet elegant and effective job telling the “story.” I hope you all have a fabulous time on the cruise. I do think every girl needs a pretty purple pair of shoes though!
