This past couple of weeks has been all about learning...case in point - last Saturday.
Sometimes no matter how much you prepare ahead of time and no matter how hard you try to make sure that everything goes smoothly it all just gets screwed up. I had the studio room ready to go, lights in place, backdrops and props set, my beautiful little subject in her beautiful little white dress in the perfect little spot...started snapping a few test shots and WHAMMO...nothing.
So what did I learn you might ask? I learned that you should always have a Plan B. While I wasn't able to execute the shots exactly as I had planned them in my head prior to the session, I was still able to capture the images I was going for in a different environment...in fact, truth be told...I am thrilled with the outcome!
Meet Maya! She is by far the most active 6 month old I have had the pleasure of hanging out with at the studio. She loved being on her belly and rolling all over the soft rugs and throws we have. Here are just a few of the photographs from our session!




And no worries future clients...I made a visit to the "photography store" after my session with Maya and am now equipped with all the right stuff so that this doesn't happen again!
