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.

At 2:01pm on June 1, 2009, Japondue said…: 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.

At 9:22am on April 13, 2009, Melissa Lisbon said…: 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!

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
