Maternity Shoot: Kayla & Cory, Take 2

Yesterday Kayla and Cory came over to my home studio for our second session. I am so grateful to this couple for being open to me and allowing me the privilege of photographing this very special time in their lives. Here are just a few from our session.

Red, Gray, and Blue

A couple of shots of the critters from this past weekend while testing out my Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal flash diffuser. I think I’ve finally found the perfect modifier for my flash. Look how soft that light is! All were taken with the flash on camera. (gasp!!)

I liked the Universal so much, I’ve gone ahead and purchased the Lightsphere® Collapsible™ G5 Lighting Kit: Fashion & Commercial. Can’t wait to take it through its paces and really learn the ins and outs of the system.

Model Shoot: Maternity

Kayla is expecting in about two months and posted on one of the Facebook photography groups I frequent that she was interested in getting some maternity shots done for her portfolio. We met, hit it off, and will be working together over the next couple of months to try out various techniques. Last Sunday, I met with Kayla and her husband, Cory, to do a ‘getting to know you’ shoot.

I shot these in a natural light studio on a dark and rainy day, so my ISO was averaging 800 and I shot fairly wide open (with a tripod…no hand-held for this session). I like the softness of these images.

Here are a few.
