I was struggling today, so I had a therapy photo session. Ahhh... So nice. I've been trying to find a way to make my studio shots more interesting. Give them a little oomph. I decided to use one strobe instead of two, and I ditched the kitchen table I was using for my "platform". Put the kids right on the ground instead. Hopefully this will make them happier as I think it was pretty scary up there for a few. Plus, I can get better angles. I think using just one strobe gives the picture more depth. Less "kiddie kandids" more "custom photography", right? right?!
I also picked up some white material at the fabric store yesterday. So fun! I love high key photography. And, it worked with just the one strobe, as did the black (yup, did a test run with all of 'em). These were all shot with my 50mm, f/2.5 (ish), 1/200. I love that lens.
This is her post-nap hair do. I promise she doesn't look like this all the time (notice she's looking at the camera and smiling. I hope this is becoming a trend...).

I love this picture. My kids are so cute. I'm so biased.


Our cute neighbor...

Girls are going to dig that drool

Okay, one more.

P.S. I love having so many kids in my building. I knocked on our neighbors door and said "hey, can I borrow your kid for a few minutes?"
They all look really good!! I think that's fun that you're playing around with what you've got.
