My husband is joining the Air Force and getting ready for him to leave has been a scramble, but an exciting one! I'll be living with family while he's at basic training, so part of the challenge has been how to get everything together for me to run TuckooandMooCow from a box. With a little organizing it is definitely doable! I'm pretty excited for this big adventure--especially for my husband. I can't wait to see what all is in store for him and for us!
With these last couple of weeks I've also been working on retaking my photos. Above is a portion of my tiny stash for taking pictures. Previously, I'd been using a lightbox, but just recently I've been setting up some more elaborate staging which worked a bit better with natural light. Below are two examples of listings with updated photos! What do you think?

Hello! These photos are stunning! Would you recommend a light box? I'm wondering about getting one for my etsy shop.

Hi Jo! I actually built my own first and later bought a little light tent from thinkgeek.com. The one I built for myself, though, was just as good if not better than the one I bought. Hmmm, now you've made me think that I ought to do a tutorial for how to make one. You can find a pretty good one here though: http://www.digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent
ReplyDeleteI really like the photos in this post!
ReplyDeleteIt is neat to see the behind the scenes of the photo-taking and your shop..
I especially like the one of the velveteen rabbit necklace -- I got it as a present for Christmas 2011 and I LOVE it!
