LaLa Life 29

A photo a week in the life of LaLa Photography, using photographic mediums.

Week 29

As you all know through previous LaLa Life posts, I have taken to pre-loved goods (such as Pedro the Polaroid and my current obsession for vintage shopping).  Now, hand-made products have started to take a shine on me. There is something beautiful in the effort and passion a person puts into making something with their own hands. 

With this in mind, plus the fact that Perth's wet weather has forced me to stay indoors, I have decided to have a go at creating something hand-made.  Thus LaLa Photography's sister company 'Made by LaLa' was created and I have opened an online shop on Etsy named 'MadebyLaLaP' (the P is there to link to the photography as well as the fact that the name was taken :P ) 

In essence, 'Made by LaLa' allows me to combine my love of photography with stationery and craft.  I currently have mini pegs which I have been using to showcase the Polaroid pictures I've been taking with the boys, as well as an inspirational greeting card series called #thinkhappythoughts, whereby LaLa Photography have produced the images.

I have discovered that the emotions that I feel when making the products for my little online shop is the same as when I'm doing photography; the creative process is exhausting, the execution is exhilarating and when the product is finished, there is elation. 

You will see on my LaLa Photography facebook page a 'My Etsy' tab on the left (underneath our profile picture).  This tab shows you all the items currently listed on our Made by LaLa Etsy shop. Also, I will house a photo album of new shop additions .  To visit my Etsy online shop direct, please visit www.etsy.com/shop/MadebyLaLaP
