The new year is finally here, and it's time for changes and many steps forward. 2016 is as good as year as any to broaden your horizon, and the best way to start is with your Instagram feed. To make this a "sweet '16", I have decided to follow some new accounts on Instagram. Whether they post pictures of adorable puppies or mouth-watering, delicious looking food, I'm sure you will find an account that sparks your interest. Without further introduction, here is my "who to follow on Instagram" list! Enjoy!

The prime season for Instagram is finally here. Get your cameras out because it's fall photo shoot time!! This past week I went out and took a few photos with the foliage. I really wanted to share them with you guys! Hopefully you enjoy looking at my pictures and are inspired to go take some of your own!
1. The stereotypical "pumpkin pic".
Every girl needs to have the stereotypical picture with a pumpkin. I can guarantee that if you search "fall photo shoot ideas" on Pinterest, a good amount of pins will consist of a girl holding a pumpkin in some way, shape, or form. Although everybody seems to Instagram photos like this, they can still be a lot of fun. The way you hold your pumpkin, or even the size can add some more creative detail to make the picture yours!
Possible Instagram Caption: Pumpkin spice & everything nice
2. The artsy photo with a name brand hat.
Instagram is the place to test out your creative ideas. You can use the sun as a tool to give your photo some natural light. Adding in the baseball cap gives it a touch of preppy. Don't be afraid to play around with the poses and angles. Photography is a learning process, it's normal for a lot of your photos to not make the "IG Worthy" cut.
Possible Instagram Caption: Anything is possible with sunlight and a little pink
3. The potential new pro-pic.
Most of the photos I take during a photo shoot don't include my face (such as the previous examples). Every now and then, I decide to take a fairly simple picture (and yes, include my face). And sometimes, if the picture comes out nicely, it may or may not become my new profile picture (spoiler: this one did).
Possible Instagram Caption: Autumn on my mind...
4. The not-so-candid candid.
If I had a dollar for every time I took a fake candid I would be a millionaire. The fake candids are easy to point out. They normally look too good to be true, because they're not. Although these pictures are "fake", they usually come out the best. Trust me, I was in that position for a good five minutes before I moved. I suggest you try it out, and if you like the way they come out, you don't have to tell anyone that it was posed...
Possible Instagram Caption: Keep calm & get your prep on
5. The for real candid.
These photos are the most genuine, the realest of the real. Candids are always desired because they show the subject in their natural, care-free state. They usually show the subject really happy whether they're captured smiling or in the middle of a laugh. You can also use props in your candids to make them seem more realistic, such as a cup of coffee :)
Possible Instagram Caption: Drink coffee & stay smiling
I hope you guys enjoyed this post! It was very "teenage girl", but I had a lot of fun writing it. I apologize about the in-activeness the past few weeks. I had a few midterms and papers due all around the same time. My academic calendar has since settled down, so expect more posts! As usual, let me know if there is anything in particular you want me to post. Feel free to leave a comment or contact me through my social media. Hope you have a good rest of your week and happy almost November!
