New background
Julie and McKinley were very nice to me the other night and let me test out my new backdrop and different lighting configurations.
Check out the bubbles!! Love it!
1st Church Dress
McKinley was dressed up in her first church dress. What a cutie!!
The lighting for this shot was setup using 2 strobes, a reflector and my 580 exII flash. The first strobe was setup directly in front shot into an umbrella and bounced back. The second strobe was setup behind McKinley on camera right. It was placed above her and angled down, shot through the white umbrella. The 580 exII was used to light up the background a little. The background is a new fabric that I picked up this last weekend. The reflector was used to give some fill light.
She is such a great model and loves to smile for the camera!! Check out her big cheese in my first shot.
Valentines Day Photo Shoot
We needed a couple new pictures of the kids for a Valentines day card. My wife is into digital scrapbooking and she needed a photo for her new card layout.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the shoot. It was challenging because my son wanted to hold his little sister and was really mad when we kept taking her away.
This setup was done on my white seamless background with two Profoto strobes. One strobe was placed at a 45 degree angle to the kids, the other was used to blow out the background. For fill flash I used a reflector on camera right. The Profoto that was used to light the subjects was shot through a white umbrella.
The final product that we sent to our parents as a Valentines Day card was this. Check out my wife’s scrapbooking page, she is doing a great job and loving her new hobby. http://www.gettinscrappywithbritt.com
Sunday morning pictures
Just thought I would try some natural light pictures this past Sunday morning. I really like the lighting that it produced. We have a pretty good sized window in our living room which let in a lot of light plus there was snow on our lawn which gave even more reflected light. The light was good and soft because there was no direct light coming through the window. We live right next to the mountain and it is near impossible to get direct light in our front window.
Funny, it looks like we posed Mason on a few of the pictures, but he was actually just running around being his normal hyper self.
