“First: It's all about proportion: Balance out larger items with extremely small ones to create some scale in your flat lay.
Second: Create a full look: A fun way to share my #ootd is to create a whole flat lay. Feature your fave pieces of your look and include statement pieces like a great shoe or a pair of shades.
Third: Use a step stool: If I am getting larger items in my phone shot and I want to include everything, I pull out my step stool I usually use to grab things in my closet to take the perfect shot from above.”

“Use a white or bright background to help show the true colors of your products. If you don't have one, get crafty and make one using white paper (sometimes I'll use the backside of wrapping paper). Also, find something to add just a little pop of color, like a flower or nail polish.”
