Shop name: CrystalPhotography, but I go by Crystal Gayle Photography.
-Introduction:
My most enjoyable hobby has become available to others to purchase. I enjoy photographing almost everything including nature, still life, and children. My photography is based from Altona, Manitoba and surrounding areas. Some of it has been taken in different areas of Manitoba’s Whiteshell Provincial Park. Most of my inspiration comes from God’s beautiful planet He’s created. I love that He has given us such miraculous creations in nature that sometimes we fail to see. I also take inspiration from other photographers and their work.
-How did you get your start on Etsy?
A friend had an etsy shop, so I checked into the rules and such, and decided I'd see if it would be a place to get my photography seen by others than friends, family, and local people.
-How did you choose your shop name?
My shop name reflects my name and what I do...Crystal Gayle and I do photography :)
-What does a typical day look like for you?
A typical day is at home with my children. Exploring outside, maybe doing some baking or cooking and cleaning inside or even crafting, but taking our camera with us to find something new to capture! I've also started with product photography, so if I have product that needs to be photographed, I try to get that done as quickly as possible so my customer can list their product with new professional looking photos!
-If you could be anywhere in the world for one day, where would it be?
There's so much of the world I'd love to see but only for one day? Maybe Europe.
-What is your favorite Bible verse?
Proverbs 3:5-6
-What is your favorite Etsy item listing to feature?
I can't say I have a favorite item. My favorite changes every time I come in to find a new great shot on my camera!
-URLs to where else we can find you on the internet (Facebook fan page, Twitter, your own dot.com, your blog, etc)

It's great that you have found a way to sell your services as well as your products. Good idea!
All of them are beautiful, but I think the sunset at the lake is my favorite!
I LOVE the swing and pretty much all the fruit pictures, but especially the one with the kiwis :-) Thanks you for sharing your work with us!
If I have to pick one it is the apple blossoms pic but I also loved the inventive use of the Scrabble tiles and coffee.
Lovely photographs.
