Hey guys! I recently tried a new beauty product and was so excited that I just had to tell you about it. You know I love trying beauty products and I am always on the hunt for the next best thing.

My mom was so kind to take them and did such a great job AND we had fun doing it. Summer is definitely here and a cool…

This is a continuation of that and I will be giving you some tips on Lighting and Equipment Setup for a Clothing Flat Lay. This may require you to spend a little bit of money but the results are worth it if you want great quality photos. I have to begin by saying that I have a very professional set up.
