Andrea Krout Photography on all social media: www.pinterest.com/akrouttt www.facebook.com/AndreaKroutPhotography www.instagram.com/andrea_krout_photography I told Andrea it would be a great idea for her to make a Top Ten List of her favorite ring pictures from 2017. I thought it would be really cute to make it a New Year blog and entitle it "Ringing in the New Year". I asked her to pick her ten favorite rings and write 1-2 sentences about each picture. I contributed by adding the the opening and organizing the pictures and her descriptions. Go to the original blog here to be able to view her beautiful photographs. Happy New Year! Thank you for following my journey this past year. I appreciate your constant support, encouragement, and loyalty. There are exciting new changes coming to AKP in 2018.

These are my Top 10 Rings of 2017: 10. Nicole and Chris Engagement Session If you did not know this about me, I also work for a luxury watch and jewelry store. I am a sucker for ring close up shots, but love getting nice watches too in the frame! 9. Boudoir Session I love this photo for a few reasons. Her engagement ring is first of all very unique. The blue opal in her ring compliments so nicely the color of the lingerie. You can see the definition in her body and also collar bones. Not to mention she is one of my favorite people too! 8. Kim and Kyle Wedding One of my favorite bouquets in 2017. Risher Van Horn did a stunning job with Kim's bouquet, but Kyle did an even better job choosing a gorgeous engagement ring for Kim. 7. Phoenixville Foundry Style Shoot Not only is Pegi's ring beautiful, Dianna's is an amazing calligraphist. The slice of agate really brings together the composition of the image. To learn more about Dianna and the Phoenixville Foundry, their websites are lisited below: www.thepaperlystudio.com www.phoenixvillefoundry.com 6. Phoenixville Foundry Style Shoot Making jewelry is an art of its own. RAW by Olivia Mar's rings are hand crated and inspired by the earth and sea. Her work is incredible! Check it out here: www.rawbyoliviamar.com/rings 5. Michelle and Ardian Engagement Session Yes, another awesome watch but an even more beautiful ring. I mean look at the classy bling on Ardian and Michelle! #goodtaste 4. Danielle and Jason Engagement Session The perfect scenery for a warm, winter day engagement session, and the perfect ring. 3. Emily and Paul Wedding There were all kinds of hidden gems in the Lancaster Arts Hotel. Emily mentioned she loved the metal doors that were outside of each elevator. The old hardwood floor and metal made for a beautiful compliment to her bouquet and ring! 2. Samantha's Maternity Session One of my favorite mama's from Brigantine beach sessions this past summer. 1. Style Chronicals Blog Style Shoot My heart melts a little every time I see Kim's ring during our photo shoots for The Style Chronicles Blog!

I had the opportunity to have a personal photo shoot with Andrea. Below is a blog documenting my experience. Click here to view the original posting. A few weeks ago, I had my first photo shoot with Andrea. I was both nervous and excited about it. The only “photo shoots” I’ve ever had were when I was a baby/toddler and for picture day at school. I did my own self-portrait photo shoots for a Smartphone Photography Class that I took in college. I was alone when I took those photos and I was limited by the length of my arm (they had to be true selfies). I was interested in how this experience would compare. I was also looking forward to the photo shoot because I have been in a rut since the passing of my dog, Bailey. I thought this would be a good way to break out of my shell. Below is my entire experience from hair and makeup to the end result. Outfit I thought about the outfit first because it sets the tone of how you want to portray yourself. Are you free-spirited, romantic, or serious? The outfit says it all. Andrea recommended that I wear something I'm comfortable in and to include accessories like jewelry or a scarf. I am already a fan of dark colors and fall is the perfect time for rich, saturated colors, like royal blue, emerald, plum, and burgundy. I love this multi-colored flower dress. It has so many fall colors in it but I thought it was too thin for the cold weather. I decided to put a black skirt over the dress, so the dress acts like a shirt. I paired the outfit with black booties and finished the look with silver, sparkly jewelry. Makeup and Hair Andrea suggested that I don’t go overboard with my makeup and I agree. When you are getting your picture taken, it should still look like you. This is not the best time to try a new makeup look. My go-to makeup is a natural lip, mascara, and dark brown eye shadow and eyeliner, to bring out my blue eyes. I kept my hair straight because that is how I usually wear it. Your photo shoot is not the right time to try a new hairdo either. The Photo Shoot Itself The location of my photo shoot was the Norristown Farm Park. I advise you to plan your travel route ahead of time because I got lost and was late! Luckily, Andrea didn’t have another client after me. You do not want to be rushing through the experience. I was very nervous having my photo taken. I am a pretty self-conscious person and it feels weird to get photographed for the first time. I was unsure what to do but Andrea tells you exactly how to pose and where to look. She made me feel so comfortable and confident. Andrea was always encouraging me with praise and saying things like, “You look so pretty” and “Great job”. I really started to get into it and before I knew it, we were done! Time went by so fast and I felt like I could keep going. The Final Product The best part was seeing the photos themselves. As I said before, I’ve never really had a photo shoot, so it was very cool to see the whole experience come full circle. Not to sound conceded but I look so pretty! I was amazed by the final results. Andrea picked the perfect location, the Norristown Farm Park, and utilized the surroundings to create a fall-feeling. The background had subtle colors, which didn't take away from me in the photos. The pictures were very clear and I could see so much detail in them. The photographs were bright and full of life. The final product turned out beautifully. Andrea, I appreciate you allowing me to have a client experience with you. You allowed me to get out of my own head and enjoy myself since the passing of Bailey. Thank you, Andrea, for a great time!
