One dreary afternoon this week I thought I would be pro-active and get Freya to try on some of the clothes in her wardrobe to see what else we might need for summer.
She looked so cute in this outfit, which my mum got from a charity shop last year but which was massive on her at the time, that I thought I’d snap a quick photo and send it to nan.
This turned into a bit of an impromptu photo shoot, especially when I realised her coat matched the flowers my mum bought me for Mother’s Day. Thankfully Freya was more than happy to play along on this occasion.
I like it in full colour (see below) but enjoyed playing around with Fotor’s colour splash option. What I really need is a proper white background (instead of a creased sheet!) but I feel that might be taking my hobby a bit too far.

What a pretty photo, I like both versions but it is definitely fun to play around with the colour! Go on, get the background you want…;-)

Ooh fab photo, love the editing too! I keep saying I need a white background, luckily my house is full of plain white walls for now though haha xx

That’s a good idea! Maybe I should just paint my walls white, that might save the problem. Hehe. Thanks for commenting.

Such a beautiful photo of a beautiful girl. I love the edited version and I think you notice the creased sheet less in that one than in the full colour version!

Both are lovely but the colour splash one is fabulous. I thought that was what they invented white sheets for!

Thank you. Maybe if I ironed it, it wouldn’t be so bad (but who has time for that?) 🙂

Aww that’s a lovely photo. I like the background. (You’re not supposed to tell everyone its a creased sheet, shh 😉 ) I think it gives the background texture and makes it more 3 dimensional.

Thank you 🙂 Hah! The creases (and grey look) really annoy me so I thought I would confess 😀
