Answer
once you take your photo, open it in photoshop and enable 'Rulers'. you can do this by going to View --> Rulers. you will now notice measurements on the top and left of the canvas. you can change the measurement system by right clicking anywhere along the ruler.

measure the actual object (say a pen), and use the rulers to help guide you as you change your photo of the pen to the size you want.
