Behind the Scenes: Fashion Accessories Shoot

(One of the final pics. Definitely nothing professional, however, it serves the purpose needed, and that's good enough for me!!!)

My hats for the day were photographer & marketing specialist. Took up a lot more of the day than I expected. Whew, my eyes were burning from staring at the computer for so long!

Some behind the scenes pics of my set-up for photographing some REHCY accessories.

Nothing too exciting, but hey, it takes the boring to make the fabulous!!
