Day 2 of the Holiday Sessions


Murphy's Law...everything that can go wrong, will. Isn't that how it goes? A bit rattled from Saturday's sessions I wanted to take a different approach to today. I tried one more session inside my homemade studio and still wasn't happy. So I moved the next family outside. My courtyard is shaded this time of year and it was fairly overcast so the lighting in the whole area was perfect. My neighbor, Eric, helped me move the backdrop outside. Perfect, now I don't even need the lights! All is well I thought. Well, after the Watkins session a horrible wind kicked up and proceeded to unroll all 12 yards of photo paper. The paper was fine but the wind was too much for the stand to take so that was no longer an option. My next family was nice enough to help me lower the stand and get the paper under control before I decorated my street with it. I made my way through a couple more sessions just shooting outdoors, no studio set-up. As I waited to begin the final session it began to rain. Now what? What a weekend of learning lessons. No more studio's for me. Outdoors and inside clients homes...that is it.
