^^^I'd love to help on the photos, but I've already been warned by our NM that's a big no no.
I'm probably just naive here, but why do the stores not want photos?
I was in NM in DC a couple of weeks ago and openly took pictures of everything they had in stock--Chanel, BV, and Prada. The only thing the SA said to me is to make sure that I gave her name out! Of course I was buying an expensive bag, so maybe she didn't want to rock the boat.
