Daily Dose of Inspiration #3

Today I am talking STUDIO SPACES!

Eeee! 

I am currently taking over a space in my house for my “studio”, I am taking the “playroom” next to my room that is no longer used as playroom but more of a storage space for all my art supplies and finished art. What could be more perfect?! I’ve been wanting to do this forever!! I am so excited and can’t wait to show you when it’s done!!! 

Here are some studio spaces, storage ideas and studio layouts I have found that I LOVE! 

Check ‘em out!

Morning Dew

I LOVE shooting macro photography and water drops are my favorite. I love the morning because the dew is still fresh on the grass an don the flowers. I got a macro lens for my Cannon Rebel for christmas and I’m still having trouble with it. I shot these with it and after editing them they seem ok, but the color saturation and exposure I just can’t seem to get it to come out right.
