Another fun site! Jill is so awesome to work with. She wanted something fun and flirty to compliment her flip flops… I think we nailed it. You really must check her amazing crystal flip flops. Worn by celebs all around tinsel town, they rock. And, we even custom coded a ‘create your own’ page… so the sky is the limit when it come to color combos!!

OK, OK… maybe not the actual picture is worth $1,000. But, if a great picture helps you sell $1,000 in products, I would say it’s worth a lot. Pictures will make or break your website. Especially an ecommerce website. Just as if you were in a brick and mortar store, the presentation is key. Even more so on a website. The product picture is what will sell your product. I HIGHLY recommend having a professional take your pictures. Especially for high end items. You may even find an aspiring photographer at one of the local colleges or high schools to take some pictures for a decent price. (Yes, even the high schools have photography classes. I started taking classes in 10th grade… and we won’t mention how LONG ago that was.) However, if this is not an option, you can try these tips.
While I could go on forever, I have decided to treat this as a series. Today, I am going to run through a quick tutorial on how to take clothing pictures… with a little bonus ‘intro to Picnik‘. And, in the weeks to come, I will touch on how to snap some great shots of other kinds of products.
It seems like Tracy and I have been working together forever! I had so much fun designing her site (again) and this time we added a blog! How fun!
I recently designed her daughter Jordan’s site… another fun one. Anyway.. check out Crib Rock’s amazing clothing and decor! It ROCKS!
until next time…

I have been working hard on a “How to take great product pictures” post. It’s not quite finished, but check back later in the week. In the mean time, here are some fireworks pictures I took last night. Hope you enjoy them!
We opted to stay home this year. We got some fireworks to light off ourselves, which were GREAT, but a little too close to take pictures of. Our neighbors put on a nice show though… and since I was already set up with my tripod, I snapped a few shots.
