If you are a creative or a visual person, then chances are that you LOVE Instagram! You can just scroll and look at photos of people, their lives, and pretty things! As a wedding photographer, I strive to photograph and post pictures of my couples and wedding related items, but I used to struggle when it came to items!

I used to truly struggle when I wanted to post pictures of items like my planner or a coffee mug. I am not a product photographer, but after learning this trick I now can share clean, crisp “product” images on Instagram.

The simple trick that changed my Instagram game was using white presentation boards! I know it seems so simple! I use three white boards to use as a background, backdrop and a reflector. You can purchase white boards almost anywhere-Target, Walmart, etc.

Find a spot in your home with great light, and set up your white foam boards – one board on the floor, one as a backdrop, and one as a reflector (see images below).

Another very helpful way to use white boards is photographing objects for other small businesses! (I am a big fan of collaboration and supporting other small businesses!) Check out Deep Creek Clothing for secondhand clothing!
