How to Flay Lay

Instagram has turned everyone into an amateur photographer, and everyone has a few tricks up their sleeve. Flat lays are an insta-essential for every blogger, and needless to say, those effortless looking photos of brunch are far from effortless. These are four of my favorite flat lays I've posted and a few tips on how to create your own with ease! Any tips you want to share? I'd love to read them!

Theme
What mood are you going for? What products do you want to showcase? Consider both of these things before you pick extras to add into the shot.

Color
Stick with one color scheme, too much and your viewer won't know where to look.

Organization
Start by filling your frame with your biggest items and play around with little ones that fit until you find the ones that work just right!

Have Fun
Experiment and play around with textures and objects. Something weird might turn into something beautiful!
