 yea, i havent ever actualy read my scriptures in the morning, so this was pertty much just for the photo, hah.

Probably the longest setup i've done so far, had to find a tablecloth to sit on because i had done some before without one and the wooden seat looked stupid. then got 2 pillows and stuck them underneath for more cushiony goodness. i bought this dress about a year ago on clearance for about $10, never really sure what i'd use it for, but now its used. hah.

hope this goes well, prediction of a 5.5

Lovey use of natural light. Pose feels a bit forced; no relaxed slump against the wall? And wow, what a frock to wear for scripture study. But I do like the composition and lighting!
