Photo Scenes

The past two days at work Molly and I have been working on the scenes/pictures for the catalog. On Wednesday, we drove all around Indianapolis looking for places to shoot some pictures. We have actually scheduled our photo shoot next week with Julia. We want to make sure everything runs smoothly, therefore we are scoping out the places beforehand where we think will be the best shots. Molly took several practice shots of the all the places so we could see what they would like. She wanted me in a lot of the pictures--just to see what it would be like with a person (of course they did not turn out so well---I'm not a photogenic person by any means lol).

We found some beautiful places in downtown Indy such as the James Witcomb Riley House and Lockerbie Street. Lockerbie Street is amazing---you don't really feel like your in downtown Indianapolis. It has cobblestone on the street and the trees curve inward, similar to what you would see in Savannah, GA. Many of the houses are very old with beautiful architecture. There are several old run down buildings, which is will be great for our catalog. Our concept is a beautiful dressed up model with an old vintage look in the background. The rough/pretty contrast I guess. Yesterday, we actually went back to downtown to take some pictures of just the products. We are trying to get this catalog finished by the first week in August. We do not want to waste time when we will be with Julia, therefore we decided to just go ahead and take somes pictures to get the ball rolling. I'm going to run to Cosco today to get some of the pictures printed---I'll post some of them later today!

Along with the pictures, Anne and I are still working on the pricing. I brought in my scale today to weight the products. We are trying to come up with an average at how much something will cost per pound. Once Anne comes in, we will continue to work on the pricing.
