Learning...........

I'm working on improving photographs for Etsy listings.

I've learned.....

Small things always look better with a cute vintage paper background.

Never use the flash.
When in doubt, go lighter with the exposure setting. 

The lighting in my living room sucks {and looks really REALLY yellow}
and 

The vintage rabbit fur stole looks like it has furry ta ta's {but hey it is "save the ta ta's" month after all}

    My sister found the same thing when she opened her etsy shop - no place to take nice pics! I know I have to step it up some for my blog. Love the furry ta ta's!

    The photography is my least favorite part of selling on Etsy and it took me quite a while to just get the point where I thought my pictures were "okay". Yours are looking great so just keep at it. I have to take all of mine indoors but I put in the "daylight" flourecent bulbs in my art room and that helps A LOT with the colors coming out right.
