We'll do it live!

So, I've been shooting a lot of portraits recently and I have yet to use a single professional light.  I actually have a lot of fun figuring out simple, natural ways to get the lighting I need.


This photo, for example, was taken against a small piece of black foam core propped up against a wall and perpendicular to a window on a cloudy day.  Not a single light-bulb.  I like how it turned out.  It feels like finally, after years of shooting, I'm finally starting to get an idea of what my 'style' is!


In the next few weeks I have several Mommy-Baby shoots lined up.  I'm really excited!  There are so many little people about to be born!


Anyway, I just wanted to share one of my favorite portraits from the past few days.  I hope you enjoy!
