Meet Etsy Seller Metro Line 6 with FREE shipping and extra giveaway entries

Where are you from and tell us a little about yourself?
I am a 28 year old stay at home mom/whenever I get the time photographer. I have 2 great kids, my son is 2 1/2 and my daughter is 1 1/2. They are only 11 months apart so for now they are the best of friends.

Why did you start your Etsy shop?
Hmmmm?, why did I start my business? Ya know, I don’t think I have a really good answer for that. I guess I was looking for a hobby or a little side project. I didn’t know how much work it would take to keep myself out there. But it has been very fun!

How did you come up with your Etsy shop name?
My husband and I lived in Paris for a little while and in Paris, le Metro Ligne 6 was the closest line to our apartment. I have so many fond memories of my life there and so much of my work is inspired by or taken in France that I thought it would be appropriate to incorporate my shop name into that experience.

What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
It’s probably a series of photos taken in the South of France. A lot of my photos are edited to really make shadows and colors pop but with my prints from the South of France that is pretty much just what it looks like there….beautiful. One of my favorites of those is the “Vespa Scooter” print. I love this print because someone drove that red scooter to work that morning and leaned it right against the red and green wall and probably never thought of the beauty in it. It was just part of that persons daily routine. That is what I love to capture.

Do any of your pieces have a memorable story behind them?
Honestly, I would say that they all do or just about all of them. Most of my prints were taken without Etsy or selling them in mind. They were taken for me. I am always trying to capture a moment in my life that I want to remember, not just for the image that is taken but for where my life was at that time, what I was experiencing, how I was developing, and in which direction my life was headed.

What was your first piece you sold?
My first order was an order of 2. I sold “Ship Wrecked” and “Magnolia”

Where do you get your inspiration for your pieces?
I get my inspiration from ordinary things. I like to capture the little things in every day life. I am drawn to lines and architecture also.

Do you have plans for expansion?
Yes, but I haven’t decided on what yet. I want to experiment with different printing mediums such as canvas, wood and metal. I would also like to start to offer photo cards for the holidays.
