The Guy Behind the Camera: 5th Edition

Welcome to the 5th edition of Selective Potential's "Guy Behind the Camera" series! I'm again so excited to have the content to continue this each and every month. I have such amazing blog friends out there - with such amazing guys behind the camera that deserve to be featured! First, we have Sonya from Sorreal! Her lovely boyfriend, Matt, takes most of the pictures for her blog and has been such a help - even when he attends the University of Florida and is an architecture major - and it's one of the hardest majors - so he is busy 24/7, but still takes the time out for Sonya's love for blogging and fashion! What a sweet guy!

Next, we have Jenny from Fashion for Writers! Her boyfriend's name is Michael. He's a poet and one day she thinks his name will be uttered in the same sentence as Rimbaud, as in: "Oh the two best poets of all time are Arthur Rimbaud and Michael Taren." Haha, so cute! She loves him too much - and he helps her take goofy photos even though she's usually looking around suspiciously to see if anyone is laughing at her when she often stumbles and trips or walks like a duck and then they have to start all over again because she looks inelegant! Haha! Trust me, Jenny, you always look elegant to us! And we know Michael agrees!

Third, we have Kate from Postcards from... I absolutely love reading up on her and her "dream boat", as she calls him, Nathan! They have such a cute relationship - picnics, you name it. He takes all of her pictures for her - rain or shine - with a smile on his face, always. What a darling couple - always both dressed to look amazing.

Fourth, we have Sarah from Bad Penny. Her and her boyfriend have been together for two years and is such a great guy to her. She loves his fashion sense - and they are always out shopping together. Truly adorable! Talk about major chemistry - because these two are amazing musicians, so the arts are insanely close to their hearts (made a rhyme!) and hence their love for fashion. He almost always take all of her pictures for her and of course, she loves him! So cute.

And lastly, we have Gizelle from Vanilla Ice Cream! They are so sweet - taking weekend beach trips and having wonderful laughs and sweet moments together always. She loves how he supports her in every way. A lot of guys were intimidated by her before Harry came into her life because she always has a lot of things going on, but Harry loves her strong personality (so do we, girl!) She wouldn't be able to sustain her blog without him.. so thanks to Harry for supporting our lovely Gizelle!

That's it for this month's "Guy behind the Camera" series! If you would like to submit you and your guy, please email me at tieka@selectivepotential.com with your name, your blog URL, a photo of him, a photo of you and a brief description of why you love your guy! If you enjoyed reading this blog, be sure to check out the previous four editions! Have a wonderful Saturday! I'm off to support my lovely husband in his band in Traverse City tonight!

I love this series Tieka! Very interesting. The other day, while my "photographer" was taking my pic, I asked him to hold my purse. He told me, "you know what the worst thing you can say to a guy... hold my purse." Hahaha! Now, I know.

Have a great day! xoxo

Aww, Tieka: this is the sweetest feature and I look forward to it every month. I was so surprised and (pleased) to see my sad mug included in the feature this month with all the other beautiful girls and their beaus! And I'm blushing a little at how silly and over the moon I sound about my boyfriend, but I'm also secretly so excited to see his face on your blog. You're the best ever, thanks so much girl!

I love these posts! And I feel for Sonya...my husband was an architecture major at IIT (and now sadly is an unemployed architect thanks to our fabulous economy) and I had to deal with all the projects and long hours and internships! I never saw him! There were actually times, I would just sit in studio with him so I could see him that week!

MOUSEVOX VINTAGE said...

I always enjoy these posts. "Dreamboat" is what I call my non-boyfriend boyfriend since it usually doesn't ensue much of an explanation (and he's dreamy). :)

Lainey said...

I guess I didn't make it this time around, but that's okay. I'm sure there's more of this to come. Question though, if I've already submitted, do I have to re-submit every month? Your picks this month are super cute. Can't wait to check out their blogs.
