I am thrilled to have entered into the wonderful world of crafters! I design sterling silver jewelry which incorporates simple designs to allow the focus to be on the beads.

Hi, Melissa! Thank you for your comment. I like your matured simple designs! It sounds like you visited my website?? Thank you! I tried beading once, but I realized that I should just stick to photography:-) Yes, I happened to live in many different places, it's about time to settle:-) Keep up the good work! p.s. Your cat is too adorable.

Hi Rachel: I typically take my photos outside whenever possible. I'm also lucky that it is bright most of the time here so even indoor pictures work out, but if I do shoot indoors I do it in a room with lots of windows. I would also recommend that you use the digital macro feature on your camera. That allows you to get really close up without loosing the detail. Good luck!

Hi Melissa-
We both have cats as our profile photo. lol
I think your photos on Etsy are really great- they are bright, clear and show off the item. I struggle with my photos and they tend to be too dark. Please let me know what you think of my pics.
Thanks,
Rachel
