I can not say enough about how happy I am about this session! Monica and I used to work together years and years ago and Willie's Grill & Icehouse when I was maybe 17 years old (?). I am now 30! We have been Facebook friends all of these years, occasionally "liking" something the other person posted, but when she recently made a post about expecting soon, I reached out to inform her of my Maternity Special I have going on this month. Clearly, she agreed and this past Tuesday we made Baby Bump Magic!
We stared in one of my rooms upstairs in my home. She wanted some natural light photos with the light coming in through the windows. A nice light and dreamy look with the lace outfit she brought.
We then moved downstairs to the garage where I set up my studio. The studio set up can be a little scary if you are not sure how the lighting and background will come out. So after taking a few shots and showing her what I was capturing, her words were "you'd never know we are doing this in a garage!" ha! The magic of my Paul Buff Lighting paid off! This only took a two light set up. I have two Einstein's . I placed one light in front of Monica on the left side, added the 86" White PLM Umbrella with the PLM White Front Diffusion Fabric , and the PLM Black Outer Cover . The second light is behind her to the right. It has a 16x60" Stripbox.
Lastly, we moved to the bathroom for the Milk Bath shots. THESE are the SHOWSTOPPERS! I can't love these enough. I took the Einstein with the 89" PLM set up with me and got all of these shots not having to move anything.
Funny story though, we literally just had this bathroom remodeled, and when I say 'just,' I mean, I had to call my contractor to make sure there would be no workers doing any finishing touches in the bathroom for the 45 minutes we were in there shooting! So this is the very first shoot done with our new bathroom and this was the very first time we even filled up this tub! I couldn't think of a better way to do so!
