First, my sweet, adorable, beautiful nephew, B-Man. He really can't look anymore like my brother, honestly. But I do see quite a bit of his beautiful mama in him, too, so no doubt this kiddo is going to break many a heart...sigh...what I wouldn't give to see this sweet thing and smooch on him, but he's all the way out in Missurah :(
Then, some shots from today of my two knuckleheads...I was practicing shooting on a white background...the goal being to actually get it WHITE straight out of the camera. This is no small feat with a budget lighting setup. Basically, to get the white background white (without lighting it its a putrid shade of gray...), you have to aim at least one (two is better) strobes at it and blow it out (overexpose it). So I aimed my two portable flash units at the white background and used my regular strobe as my main, and by george, I think I got it!!! Could you accomplish this without the lights on the background? Yes, but you'd be spending several hours in Photoshop afterwards...so better to get it right SOOC (straight-out-of-camera). I'll be upgrading my lighting equipment very soon, so in the future this won't be so cantankerous.
So here we have The Boy, currently a.k.a. Hee-Haw or Ozark, because (a) the missing teeth, crazy cowlicks, and numerous freckles bemoan such a moniker, and (b) you have to strap him down and sit on him to put his shoes on most of the time. The Child hates to wear shoes outside, and rips them off the minute he walks in the door. But he is darn cute if I do say so myself...course I'm a bit biased....
And then we have our little diva-in-training, doing her best Hannah Montana poses...
