Then & Now – Etsy Product Photos
I have been thinking about my photographs a lot lately. Photographing my items for my Etsy shop is a little time consuming and can be frustrating at times, to say the least.

I am the kind of person that would rather there be snow in the yard if it is going to be so dang cold. Resigned to not getting the snow I have been craving, I am ready for Spring already! So in the spirit of Spring, I decided to touch up a few pictures I snaped in my yard last year to hold me over until […]more
Take a Peek at – Amethyst
Here is my first installment of my gemstone series. In order to learn a little more about the stones I use I thought it would be helpful to post a little of what I have found out here.
