Guinea Pigs

Lucky for me I have children of my own to be my guinea pigs. Pretty soon I am going to be embarking on my first all flash/lights photos shoot. I've always either preferred or relied on natural light, or at the least had it as back-up. I don't really have the best equipment for that kind of shoot, and I can't really acquire those kinds of lights till I upgrade my camera. I know I can do it with what I have though, so I decided to get a first trial run in today since the kids were in a good mood. For Josh you should note that good mood did not extend to portrait taking. For him I tried not using the flash and just the studio lights, but everything was slightly blurry and I didn't like how he was lit in most of them. Penny I tried several different arrangements, and I definitely think we have something we can work with. That morning I'll steal Penny to be my little guinea pig again, and make sure my flash is stocked with fresh batteries. I just had to share a few cute and funny ones.
