The Blogger Union is a community of bloggers that is dedicated to growing and thriving together through collaboration. They have chapters in DC, Houston, Fort Lauderdale, South Florida and even across the seas in Rome and Madrid.
This month fashion blogger Lauren of Lo Meyer gave a presentation style, posing and how to work your best angles. Afterward, we broke out into photography sessions where we could practice what we learned. Style Trolley a mobile boutique, borrowed cute outfits for us to change into if we wanted.

Minneapolis Blogger Union: Street Fashion & Photography Workshop Tips
Here's a quick look at some of the photography tips we learned.
1. Pose in a way that makes the clothes look good. If you're working with the brand it's important to make the clothes look good on you so that people want to buy them.
2. Be sure to smile at the camera. Say cheese!
3. Look happy in your outfits. You look approachable when you do this and you will increase your followers as a result.
4. Make sure to check your accessories. I don't know how many times I've taken pictures that were otherwise good only to see that my earring wasn't faced the right way or my necklace was off-center.
5. Take multiple photos at different angles so you have lots of content to pull from when you don't know what to post.
*Bonus tip:
Think ahead and plan your outfits based on this season coming. So think 3 to 4 weeks out which means you should already be taking pictures of your fall outfits now.

Have you been to a Blogger Union Meet Up in your city? What blogger event have you recently attended?
Looks like fun was had by all. Still trying to get through summer attire, therefore, can't even think about a fall wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteI know right? I'm taking it one day at a time.
DeleteI just learned the tip about taking photos from different angles last week and it's a game changer! it definitely helps with having content to post throughout the week. I'm going to my first blogger event next week and I'm definitely looking forward to it and will use these tips!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a great event. Thanks for sharing these tips with us.
ReplyDeleteI live in NYC so I get invited quite a few events which gives me an opportunity to meet new and familiar bloggers alike. That said, I love that you get together as a group. Its fun to run into bloggers at events but its very short conversations we seem to have.
ReplyDeleteThe closest Blogger Union chapter would be DC and that’s 3 hours away. I am a part of the Virginia Bloggers group and though i haven’t been to an event in a while I can’t wait to attend any upcoming that are close to me.
ReplyDeleteWorking with other media influencers is the best way to learn. I need to check them out since they have a chapter in DC.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is so pretty! I love her outfit. These are all great tips you've provided. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I haven't been to any blogging events or meetups in quiet a while - I miss my people!
ReplyDeleteI need to find out if there's a chapter near me. I love getting together with my fellow bloggers and sharing tricks of the trade
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great event! You and your daughter looked fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis event looks fun! I wonder if Atlanta has something similar? Only meet-ups I'm apart of here is my Atlanta Automotive Media group, and travel group (I haven't even attended any of the travel meet-ups though).
ReplyDeleteI’ve never heard of the union before. Looks like fun while learning. I’ll be checking them out.
