For another, I need to get pictures of my dresses ON my daughter! I have a Canon Rebel XT (digital SLR) and I am definitely still learning how to use it. I can take okay product pictures in my basement workroom. But, dresses just look better on a child than on a hanger. And sometimes the lighting in there is just plain bad. But I stink at taking indoor pictures of my kids and it's just too cold and gray to take her outside in a sundress. Besides the fact that there is mud and snow everywhere and my children attract dirt like magnets.
My plan was to create a sort of studio in my garage. That way, I can open up the door and let in all the natural light. The trick I've learned from scouring photogaphy forums, is to hang a piece of pretty designer weight fabric (less wrinkles) from some clips. Then, you attach a piece of baseboard to the bottom and set up a square of vinyl wood flooring in front of it. That way, it looks like your kid is in a room with beautiful wallpaper and flooring. I happen to have all of these things fom my husband creating my workspace in the basement. I, however, lack the child free time to create this setup. By the time I get around to it, it will likely be warm enough to just take her outside for pics. I will surely get to it by next winter! (sarcasm, as I know this project will be put on the backburner)
In the meantime, I am trying to be crafty with the clothespins and straight pins sticking in my wall (don't tell my husband I am putting holes in the new walls).
