It's raining today like mad, and I just can't get motivated to leave the house. We all know those days. And truth be told, we have no valid reason for leaving. No one is feeling cabin fevered. No one needs anything from Target.
Babies Light Up My Life, Even if My Lights Don't.
So this shoot stressed me out a bit, and not because the baby was bad! She was a perfect angel. I've actually never had a baby be so chill. No, it was the lights. I had just purchased a new set of studio lights and they malfunctioned hardcore. In fact, I couldn't adjust the output! That's the entire point of using lights, being able to control the amount of light that comes out!
I tried everything I could, but something just wasn't working. And we were in my house, so I didn't have the space to move them far enough away to lessen the light (not to mention there'd be light bleeding everywhere!).
In laymen's terms, it just means I had to get creative and bust out my speedlights again. So instead of the 5 light setup I had planned (well, 4 and a bounce), I was back to two and a bounce.
It worked. Andi looks adorable in the photos. But then again, she always looks adorable.
