Tonight I went out and photographed another senior model. She was a really sweet girl. I was supposed to photographer her a couple weeks ago but I just couldn’t do it with everything that was going on with my family and my grandpa passing away.
I used my Alien Bee and Vagabond with my Westcott tonight.

I try to post at least once a week but this week I am not sure what to post right now. We’ve had a lot of family things happen this week and so I am trying to take a little break from the computer.
My grandpa is not doing well. He is his room with oxygen and his lungs filling up with fluids. The chaplin came and prayed over him this morning and it’s only a matter of maybe even hours.
Yesterday as I was driving to go see my grandpa with my 3 year old our van broke down. It wouldn’t go forwards or backwards and I had to get towed. I wasn’t able to see him until after 8p.m. when my husband got home from work and I was able to borrow my neighbor’s car.
So with all of this going on I am taking a little break from the computer. I hope you all understand and I’m sure you would do the same. It’s time to be with my family as much as possible while my grandpa passes.
Please if you have any questions feel free to email me and I will try to get back to you in a timely manner.
Here’s a photo from when I did a one on one with a photographer from Iowa. I can’t post without posting a photo so here goes.

Thursday we did a one on one from Shannon in Iowa. It was a lot of fun! We got to go to one of my favorite spots and shoot. I went there last fall and shot on the same car but this time we added more lights and the results were awesome!!
We used 3 lights. One AB with Beauty Dish as the main at Full Power and then 2 speedlites also at full power. One was in the car and the other was to the right of me lighting up the side of the car. It took me a little while to get it where I wanted it but I got the shot I totally wanted.
This was also taken at 3 p.m. with full sun but shaded by the trees.
f/14 1/200 ISO 100
And here’s the shot that I took last fall.
Here’s another fun one! Just one light. AB full power at f/14 1/200 ISO 100
I will post more of the babies once I get them processed!

Welcome to a great place to learning Off Camera Flash. This is by far my favorite aspect of photography and I am so happy that you want to learn how to do this. I taught myself how to do off camera flash and I hope that you will learn a lot from me. Feel free to contact me and ask lots of questions. I am here to help. I am not technical at all in how I speak. I learn visually so that is how I teach.
