ONLINE SHOP PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS, WITH AN IPHONE!

I am, by no means, a photographer. 

When I was first opening my online shop, one of the things that I struggled with the most was getting quality photos of my products. I felt like I needed to buy an expensive camera right away and invest in some fancy lighting equipment, but who has the money for that in the beginning, when you're just trying to get your shop up and running? 

This video will show you some very basic product photography tips for those of you with no experience or idea how to get nice photos for your shop. All of the photos shown here were taken with my iPhone using the method that I show in the video.

Once you get more comfortable with it, you can start experimenting with styling, but in the beginning, just a simple, quality photo is all you really need.

I hope this will be helpful for you! xo

PROUD WIFE STUFF

Hey guys! I've mentioned before that my husband is a songwriter (it's one of the reasons we moved to Nashville), and every so often he enters songwriting competitions.

He has won a few in the past, and he just recently won first place in the American Songwriter Magazine contest! I'm so proud of him.

  Here is the interview that was featured in the magazine, and here is a video of him playing the winning song with his brand new Gibson guitar (the prize)! 

Go Hubbs! :) If you'd like to hear more of his stuff, you can subscribe to his Youtube page or visit this page.
