back at the VA grounds

If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you know that one of my favorite spots to frequent with my camera is the VA grounds. After months of nasty weather keeping me from taking regular walks in my neighborhood, it felt so good to get back there last week.

 

What are some of your favorite places to photograph?

one of my favorite Etsy shops

I'm taking a few minutes today to promote one of my favorite Etsy shops: memoriesforlifesb. I know that many of my readers are familiar with Edi's shop and blog and/or have heard me promoting her items before. Whether you're a long-time fan of Edi's or you're just learning about her shop, I hope that you take a few minutes to pop over there and check out one or more of the following items.

Despite the recent popularity for fall and winter weddings, spring and summer are still by far the more popular wedding seasons. If you have a wedding in the upcoming months and are searching for those final few items, check out Edi's wedding section. She has an extensive selection of glassware (i.e. champagne flutes), guest books, table numbers, and personalized bridal party and wedding gifts.

Are you in the early stages of planning a wedding? Edi also makes engraved wooden wedding invitations.

Mother's Day and Father's Day are both going to be here before we know it. Stay ahead of the game and shop for your gifts now.

One of Edi's most popular items to date is her engraved cutting board. For moms who love to cook and bake and who make time tested family recipes on a regular basis, it's hard to go wrong with this cutting board.

Earrings are also an ideal option for many moms. These tribal wooden earrings are simple, lightweight, and versatile.

For the dads in your life, think about picking up one of Edi's newest items: an engraved knife with a wooden handle.

Cuff links are another great choice for dads that dress up on a regular basis.

 

Finally, are you in the market for a spring or summer birthday gift? I love Edi's wooden greeting cards and customizable picture frames.

celebrating early spring

Ever since the weather switched into spring mode, I've been thinking about all things spring.

Early Spring

 And via Pinterest...

Do you have any favorite early spring picks?

early March in Milwaukee

This past week brought above freezing temperatures. It may look like winter in this pictures, but it feels much more like spring. Over the weekend I took Jake and a friend to one of my favorite places in Milwaukee to enjoy this refreshing change in the weather and of course take some pictures.

How's early March going your way?

Share your thoughts with a review!

To those of you who have purchased and promoted Jewelry and Other Small Item Tabletop Product Photography over the past month, thank you! It means the world to me that so many people have been so supportive of my first ebook.

If you've ever bought something online, most likely you read some reviews first or at least checked the item or shop's star rating. I can say good things about my book all day, but it isn't the same as having a customer share detailed insights about the benefits of the book.

This is where I need your help. If you've already written a review on Etsy or Amazon, thanks! If you haven't written a review, it's never too late. Taking just a couple minutes to leave a star rating and share your opinion goes a long way toward driving more sales.

I'm offering a $10 coupon code* to anyone who reviews my ebook that is good for my jewelry shop or my photography shop. (*You must spend a minimum of $11 to redeem the code. This is Etsy's policy, not mine.) Simply send me a link to the published review, and I'll send you the coupon code.

Please note: You can only write an Etsy review if you've purchased the book on Etsy. You can write an Amazon review whether or not you've bought the book through the site.

If you use the above Amazon link as opposed to any other Amazon link to purchase the book, I make a few more cents off the purchase because it's linked to my Amazon Affiliate account.

Thanks in advance for your reviews!
