Hi! My name is Casey Wiegand, I am a freelance artist, wife and mama. I also own an art studio for kiddos in Dallas! I love painting and sharing our life through my blog...where you can expect pieces of my perspective on life, faith, kids, loss, marriage, with touches of art, creative inspiration, projects and things I love along the way.
Finding your style as a mama: know yourself. Expressing yourself through your style is a way that you can tap into a range of who you are. Your tastes, likes, interests, personality and channeling that all into the way you dress. Don't be afraid to express style through uniqueness and individuality.
Make a board on pinterest. Pinterest is fabulous for seeking style inspiration. Sometimes it helps to just see your outfits planned out in visual form and then making those a reality when you walk in your closet! I have an inspiration board called style where I pin outfits and looks that I would love to recreate.
Feeling comfortable in front of the lens: take your photos with someone you feel comfortable with! Both my husband & my friend, Kristen make me feel comfortable to be silly sometimes...they also can be honest when something isn't working. Another great tip is finding angles & poses that you feel pretty in. If you have 2 or 3 "go to" angles or poses then you will be set!
Lastly, you don't have to spend a lot. Even a white tshirt & jeans goes a long way with the right accessories. I think simple style with some fun accessories is a great "go to" as a mama.
Very lovely tips!

I would love to but just havent had the chance yet. I cant wait to get back to the states and be a part of one!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a blogging conference, but I would so love to one day!! I live currently live in Germany with my Air Force hubby, but maybe when I get back to the states in 2014 I can FINALLY attend one. There are so many to choose from, too!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to blog conference one day!!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually going to BlogHer12 in a little over a week! I am ridiculously excited. I would go to more conferences but am limited to our budget! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to attend. Blog conference, but unfortunately, I'm a college student with no money and most conferences are while I'm in school. Crossing my fingers I can go once I graduate :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I went to a blogging/crafting conference in March. It wasn't the best experience but I do want to go to another one - SNAP!
ReplyDeleteI would love to attend a blogging conference, just don't have the time or money!

I haven't attended a blog conference (would love to though!) but I have attended quite a few blogger meet-ups and they've always been so fun and I've met lots of inspiring bloggers through them!
ReplyDeleteI have indeed! I hear great things about the BlogHer conference, and would love to go. One day I will. :) Getting more involved with the blogging community, especially via conferences, seems like it would be a great experience!

ReplyDeleteand to respond to your question - i actually really really want to attend the influence conference. i'm just nervous to pull the plug and do it. ah!! but have never attended one before, but i think it would be amazing!
Deleteyes! I really want to go to Influence to learn how to more effectively share my faith on my blog. However, I'll be about 36 weeks pregnant and won't make it this year.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to a blogging conference. I think just being able to meet other bloggers in person and learn from their knowledge and experience sounds so wonderful. Unfortunately I won't be going to one any time soon due to financial reasons and begin about to have a baby...
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to a blogging conference, never been to one before but i think it'd be an awesome way to get really inspired and to meet some new people who have similar interests to myself!

ReplyDeleteIt would be SO fabulous to meet so many of my bloggy friends IRL!!! I would LOVE to attend a blogging conference!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could attend a blog conference, but I think I would feel pretty intimidated. Also the money that goes into one...suuuuper expensive. Would of loved to attend BlogHer in NY since it's so close but I can't find the finances for that. Argh! Next time maybe!

ReplyDeleteIve been wanting to go to a blog conference or meet up for a long time! I feel like the only blogger who hasnt gone to one! LOL Part of why I have not gone is money and or timing.. but another big factor is fear! Im actually terribly SHY! I worry of how I would be recieved at an event, how I would act or fit in. :( But I do hope so to go someday.. hopefully soon! There are so many blogger friends I would LOVE to meet in person.
ReplyDeleteI have never attended one.
ReplyDeleteI did meet another blogger for coffee though which was lovely!
I've never attended a conference, but I really want to! It's not really possible for me right now but I think it would be a great way to connect with new people & meet all my bloggy friends in real life! The Influence conference is one I really want to go to, there are so many of my friends going & I think it would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to some day. Maybe next year? Seems like such an amazing experience !

ReplyDeleteI really wanted to go to Elevate, and I think I will next year! I just went to my first blogging meetup at Down East Outfitters in Phoenix. They gave us all $25 gift cards, so that, along with meeting some cool ladies, was awesome!
