Erin’s swooshy dress made this photoshoot go from “well that’s nice to… oh my that’s fantastic”. Thank you Erin for spinning around in circles in high heels with the big fan on in an already cold studio. Not once did she fall over.

I really enjoy shooting on location, but there’s something to be said about shooting in a studio that I just can’t put to words right now. I immensely enjoy both.

So I’m very thankful for having access to a nice studio in town. I’m very glad I know somewhat how to operate a flash, inside of a softbox with one of those fancy Pocketwizard radio triggers. Once you learn the gear… and keep it simple, you can direct your efforts into making the subjects comfortable in front of the camera. Meet Anna-Lee & Maggie. They were great to photograph. I never thought I’d enjoy shooting inside a studio, but here’s my take on what portraits should look like.
