Since I’ve started writing the Photography 101 posts, I figured it would be helpful to have a page where you could easily find them!
Also, I’m currently in the process of starting a photography business. While I work on my website, feel free to stop by my facebook page for updates + information. Thanks! Ashley McLaughlin Photography
Happy learning!

Hey Ashley! I’m not sure if/where you mentioned this, but what camera do you use? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for pinning Jenn!!!
Daylight savings time is killing me, I just sent the lightbox to my husband, we are making it this weekend! my only question is where do you place the light? Do you have a portable fixture for the box? Thanks!
I bought little light shades that were attached to clamps. I clamped them on objects at different height, to both sides and from above to achieve the light I was looking for. You could also use lights like this! http://jasontomczak.com/2007/12/17/a-quick-easy-white-box-light-box-for-product-photography/
