"that hoodie scarf sure is cute!" ............ "sew is your face"

now that the sew is your face etsy shop is up and running, michelle is busy cranking out new hoodie scarves and tie bracelets, which means i get to be busy shooting them. we were back up on the roof on a really warm day for this shoot. there was plenty of natural light up there, probably not the best light truthfully as it was midday, but sometimes you have to work around everyone's schedules. when necessary, i used a reflector to bounce light into the shadows to show off the products. these are a couple of my favorite shots.

playing around...

i've recently been working on a self-assigned "project." i shot some 300 photos of marshmallow peeps and other easter candy to create easter and spring cards for my new etsy shop. setting up the shop actually took much longer than i had anticipated, but i am happy to say i now have 6 easter/spring cards for sale and will hopefully have some other cards to offer in the very near future.

i had a lot of fun shooting this "project", and eating the candy afterwards! (in the end, i'd always rather be shooting). i shot many with a blank or solid colored background, so i thought it would be fun to play around with them in photoshop. this is a very crude mash-up of one of the peeps photos with another of my photos of the painted ladies, which i've phlogged about in the past. just a silly thing to make me smile. please check out my cards on etsy and check back for more peeps photos later this spring.
