Catching Up Slowly

I've been having problems installing my new photoshop program into my laptop. I've got it temporarily fixed, but now I'm running behind on other projects. I know, I know, I'm good at excuses. I can't wait to get the holidays behind me and hopefully get caught up with life. Here are a few more pics from the Cheryl and Carmen shoot.

Mother and Daughter

I got a chance to shoot my friend Cheryl and her daughter. They are both models so I really don't need to say beauty runs in the family! It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to do it again.
I must say using work lights worked like a charm. Must try adding more light next time!

Studio Shots

Here are a few samples from the shoots I've been doing with my studio lights. It's been fun and exciting and difficult to work in my basement with the lights for the first time. There's not a lot of space and my fabric backgrounds kind of annoy me (with the wrinkles and what not.) I'm working on finding a good rythmn with everything, I'll get there.

Shooting my husband

I set up my studio lights and used them for the first time! Very exciting and frustrating at the same time. I was hoping to use the lights when my studio conversion was done but since that's been postponed, I figured I'd set up a temporary studio in the basement. I had a great day and Jim even posed for me. My husband isn't exactly the shining example of a good model. I did manage to take some great shots of him. I should have probably changed the very gay, cheesy background but oh well.
