Something new in the Studio!

Well I've been waiting for this for a few months maybe even longer and it has finally arrived and I finally found the time to organize a photo session with my two kids to try it out! It is my new 5 foot studio light umbrella - it is actually called a Parabolic Light Modifier, but a really big umbrella is what my son calls it. I had pre-planned this session with Samuel (my son who is 5) right down to what he was going to wear to how he was going to pose with Anna (his sister my daughter who is 3) Come to think of it I only mentioned that I wanted to do a session with him and Anna and he is the one who started formulating the details. Those who know my husband know exactly where Samuel gets this from! Anyway Samuel was very keen on the wardrobe choice and seemed to know exactly what and how he was going to pose with Anna. I took a few... okay a lot of shots with the two of them and then Anna alone as she was very "into" her photo session and Samuel was loosing interest fast. A few more shots of them together and then Samuel went and got the jellybeans and we wrapped it up with more shots of just Anna while Samuel made sure she was "rewarded" for each frame with a jellybean! It was fun - a little stressful at times - some wardrobe malfunctions ;) and the gourmet jellybeans were a hit, as they ALWAYS are even for the photographer. I LOVE the results! The newest piece of equipment in the studio is AMAZING with the best quality of light anyone could ask for in a studio light. I can't wait to try it on some client sessions!!! Ooooh what fun :)
