I’ve been hitting garage sales whenever I see them, hoping to score a great vintage camera. I haven’t had any luck finding cameras, but I did find this mint-condition 1960s typewriter earlier this summer.
I brought it outside for a few photos this week, and my kids were instantly drawn to this “strange typer device”. Fascinated. My how the world has changed…
This summer I ventured into product photography, beyond photographing my own products. I had the pleasure of working with the lovely ladies Sandra and Jennifer of JenSan Candles. Sandra was looking to update their shop with some fresh images and I was happy to help.
I photographed their new line of Essential Oil Soy candles as well as some yummy-smelling pillar candles. To make the images pop, I shot them against a clean white background.
Are you a seller on Etsy looking to freshen up your shop with new images? I’d love to work with you. Email me for details.
I told my husband a while back that I’d like to string some Christmas lights over our deck in the backyard. I envisioned buying a couple of strings of lights at Target and maybe stapling them up in a couple spots to secure them. But that’s not his way.
He envisioned something far better, far more sturdy and able to withstand the elements. First he built a heavy wood frame to rim the outside of our deck. Then we strung heavy duty cable in a zig-zag pattern that had been carefully calculated. Then hanging off the cable – the lights! These are industrial hanging bulbs, the kind you see at outdoor restaurants.
The result is beautiful. We’ve eaten outside most nights since the project was done. I hope summer holds out a bit longer so we can continue to enjoy them.
