In the middle of senior craziness

I got an email the other day saying I didn’t post enough and she is so right.  I don’t.  I barely have enough time to sleep let alone have a personal life outside of work right now.  My studio is in full swing right now and I love it but I’ve barely been home.  I have 9 sessions I’m working on right now and I have 10 sessions this week alone.

Anyway, I wanted to write about something that kind of came to me the other night when I was teaching Jennifer from Michigan.  I typically didn’t shoot down at someone in a field.  Why?  because it is always too dark.  Jennifer shot down at Mickey our model and asked me how to fix it and I don’t know why I never thought of it before.  I lowered the power on the light and then we shot it and it was so beautiful.  I felt kind of dumb at that point!  Anyway, so… if you are shooting down into the ground turn down the power of your light!

I had just posted the photo of Mickey but I will post it again.

A new thing for me is that I’m going to start offering studio lighting workshops here at my place in Minnesota.  Anyone is welcome to attend.

Here are a few of my studio shots. I shot this one today.  I had two lights on her.  Main light and then strip light behind her.

Here’s a awesome senior I had two weeks ago.  She was so awesome!

This photo I had a strip light on her hair, beauty dish and strip light on the backdrop. I absolutely ADORE these backdrops.

They are from Fuse Backgrounds!

I swear I’m going to try and post more.  I have been just swamped with work and trying to work on workshops too.
