I recently purchased a {relatively} small arsenal of new equipment to better my studio sessions. While I typically work with natural light only, I do need lights with many of my newborn sessions and a full studio setup when I do the occasional cake smash session. Since I have several of both of these scheduled in the upcoming weeks, I immediately went to work learning how to incorporate everything when the {wonderful} UPS man dropped off my new toys. After I had exhausted practicing on the Happy Feet penguin, I pulled in larger recruits… My kids, the poor dears. They are so tired of me and my camera. Such is the life of a child of a photographer!
But Monday, I set up a make-shift studio in my kitchen, and invited over my son’s playgroup for Valentine’s photos for Daddy. Up until now I’ve only done the cake smash shots in studio style. Let me tell you, getting a one year old to stay in one spot is MUCH easier when they have an ooey gooey cake in front of them! But it was still a lot of fun and I am happy with how they turned out. I’d love to share a few of course.
