It is great, taking pictures is easy and I don't have to fuss with changing the settings every time I want a different angle. I already had a camera, you see my father, the avid photographer (he really isn't but is convinced he is) talked me into getting the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 to take photos. This is a great camera, however if you don't have time to go through a manual to figure out settings, white balance and all the other photographer jargon that seems to come along with fancy cameras then you won't appreciate this camera. Every time I tried to take pictures of the jewelry pieces, I turned out with pictures that were either out of focus or odd in color. This is a good lesson for me - spending more money doesn't always mean you get better quality. The Sony Cyber Shot has proven to make my life much easier in the photo taking department.
This summer has been super busy with filling wedding order samples. I had some good luck stumbling on a niche market too....First Holy Communions (An important Catholic ceremony- see this link for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Communion). I made a rosary for my grandmother, I brought it into work and showed it to some friends. Word of mouth is a great thing in building a client base, after a few people made some orders for custom made rosaries things took off from there.

Custom made pieces seem to be the most popular items right now, it seems people love to design their own piece. I have the amazing opportunity to bring their creations to life. It is a win for my clients and myself.
Until the next entry - have fun and enjoy the summer!
