I asked Natalie at elverddesigns.com to tell me who took this wonderful image for her site. The response was a bit of a surprise....
That “Rings" image was taken by my daughter, 15 years old at the time. She is better than I am with our Nikon and had been at basketball training with her friend.
I grabbed her friend and stacked all my rings on to her hands. They wouldn't all fit, so I played with the balance.
She happened to have perfectly manicured nails. They were both hot and cranky and not interested in being part of an impromptu photo shoot. I threw a sheet over her to get the white background.
This was the first image we took. Her friend is now my model and we use her in all the shots you see. Beautiful nails.

From June 3 2026, Shopify is making some small changes to the information it asks your customers for when they check out. Nothing big, but it's worth knowing about so there are no surprises.
A client forwarded me an email today. Subject line: "WHOIS Data Confirmation for yourdomain.com." Sender: registrar@registrar.shopify.com. She asks "Is this legit? And why is my address in there?!"
