My human got me a couple of new spring dresses, and we decided to photograph me wearing them outside. It is spring, after all! (At least it is here… I hear other parts of the country are having issues with Mother Nature.) But my human decided to try something a little different with the lighting.
She brought out a reflective umbrella! That way, she can photograph me in the shade and bounce in some extra sunlight to make it a little more interesting visually. She used to do this with handmade reflective boards when she was photographing rock bands. Those are long gone, but she thought using the umbrella would work okay for a garden shoot.
She needed to adjust the camera exposure first. The first couple of shots came out too light.
Anyhow, here is the first dress. Isn’t the flower and faux sash pretty?
I think I will strike a pose! Plus I can watch birdies by striking this pose!
Here is the other dress. I think this one’s really pretty too! I like the pink ribbon.
Here is an over-the-shoulder pose so you can see the shiny pink bow in the back!
I do think using the reflective umbrella added a little to the photos, but did you notice something? My human forgot to take it — and me — into the garden! She was so busy messing around with the umbrella that she never did move our things down the stairs. I hope she remembers to do another shoot down there before everything turns brown.
That dress is sooooo cute!
Purrz!

Those really are the prettiest dresses!
Petcretary sometimes uses white boards to reflect light…but she doeasn’t have a reflective umbrella.
They are so pretty.
Summer those dresses are totally adorable…..they are very “YOU” !! The lighting is secondary to how cute you look when you post for your photo shoots believe me…..!
Hugs, Teddy
Beautiful!
Summer…those are some of the prettiest spring dresses ever. You look fabulous in them. If you had moved to the garden, it might have upstaged you and the dresses, and you wouldn’t want that.

We didn’t even notice you weren’t in the garden because we were looking at your beauty! You look very pretty in your new dresses!
both you and your dresses are gorgeous. Spring frocks is what Lynettea would call them. She is old fashioned.
Your new dresses are beautiful, Summer!
You look so pretty in your springs dresses! They fit your personality perfectly.
Oohhh.. Those are purr-ty. If I wore dresses – which I don’t, on account of my bein’ a MANcat, and all – I would like to wear a dress that was pretty like your dresses, too. PURRS
We love both dresses on you, Summer. They are fresh and Spring-like 🙂

Lovely outfits, and purrfect for the season. Both look great on you.
You’ve been listening to RuPaul CDs haven’t you, Summer? “YOU BETTAH WORK!”
Mah-velous, darlink!

I still remember the dress you wore the day we met (I’m not like that about anything or anyone else!)
MOL humans get distracted so easily.
We love your dresses! You look so beautiful in them.

Oh, my stars, you look so cute! Will you be wearing these at BlogPaws? I hope our mom takes a lot of photos.
I will probably bring at least one of them to BlogPaws. I’m still planning my wardrobe.
We like da reflective umbrella effective – and of course, we LUV you and your cute dresses!
I didn’t notice you weren’t in the garden after all. I was too busy looking at the cute model & the new dresses.
Summer, you are a cutie! And pretty dresses too!
You look beautiful in both dresses and naked too 🙂
Nothing against your dresses—and the first was real pretty—but I prefer to see a cat nekkid.
Those dresses are so pretty. Two Two is very jealous. We need to go find her a pretty dress.
Those dresses are pretty, and you are the perfect model.

I wish Reese and Spree would wear pretty dresses. You are such a good model and those dresses are cute.

Absolutely beautiful dresses! We especially loved the shot of you looking over your shoulder.

It doesn’t matter, Summer…you look adorable in your new dresses.
