My Favorite Video Equipment for Blogging

My Favorite Video Equipment for Blogging: The camera, lenses, lights/light, microphones, and equipment that I use to create videos for my blog. My Favorite Video Equipment for Blogging I have loved being on camera since my parents took the plunge and bought one of those 1980 CamCorders, that you put on your shoulder. You know the ones... they were so heavy your shoulder would start hurting after 5 minutes of filming a kid opening up his presents on Christmas morning? When I'd see my mom yank that sucker out of the cabinet, I would nonchalantly walk in front of the camera, hoping...

Blog Income Report: (October) November 2016... an honest look at what income the Fantabulosity blog brings in each month, and which revenue streams are used. Blog Income Report I totally slacked. I didn't do an income report for the month of October. I'm not really sure what happened, besides being incredibly busy preparing for the holiday season. November and December tend to be the craziest months all year long for me in the blogging world, and personally. So I'll just say it was that. However, I'm still happy to include the income for the month of October, but I just won't create...

DIY Backdrops for Food & Blog Photography: A quick and simple way to achieve the backgrounds and backdrops that you desire, without having to use your real spaces. Since starting this blog, back in 2013, I had always wanted a big, beautiful BRIGHT white kitchen, to take all of my photos in. But there was one big problem...

It was time to get creative, and think of how I could pull off the look that I wanted,...

Lifestyle Blog Photoshoot: As a lifestyle blogger, a photoshoot at least once a year, can be a super handy tool in your toolbox... Some may ask, "Why in the heck do you have a photoshoot of yourself?" No really, I totally get it, and I understand why you'd ask that question. Spending a day in front of the camera, (when you are FAR from being a model), can be quite awkward. So why do it? ... besides the fact that a camera can catch you at your worst, especially while trying to eat an ice cream cone & laughing at the...
