Sneak Peek - 6 mos cutie

Andrew's sneak peek

Had a session with handsome 18 month old Andrew this morning. It was a bit chaotic with 3 other toddlers running around, but we managed to get some cute shots of this little guy. Here is a sneak peek.

New lights, set up #2 with umbrella modifiers...

I've been wanting to try out this type of lighting, because it makes for simple yet awesome pics of little kids--which is what I enjoy most. However, I'm lacking a third light. I really, really, really want that third speedlight, but I can't afford it quite yet, so....I had to try this with a two light set up. I took this and a couple others of the kids this afternoon, about 5 mins before putting them down for naps. I wanted to do it before nap, because I knew I'd have to postprocess quite a bit, since they wouldn't be perfect SOOC. Sure enough, it did take some time to get my final image, but I think it was worth it. I know, not the best composition, and there are no catchlights in his eyes--my lights were too high but I think with more time I'll get better results. Anyway, what do you think?

New Lighting setup

Trying out new lighting set up...pardon the self portrait, but I had to sit in for a couple of my models today :)

What do you think?




Colors seem a bit oversaturated, but that can be fixed in a sec...

Stunning flower girl!

These were taken on a spur of the moment...by no means a setup shoot, as most of the images of my kids on this photoblog, but I had to share...
