A impromptu purchase is the inspiration for this shoot.  I decided that I needed to new strobes (studio lights) and 2 huge softboxes.  I know me and when I first try out equipment, I like to test it out so I get used to it.  Also I can be a bit spazzy when testing things out and I certainly would never want the first time I pull the lights out to be during an important session like a bridal session.  I asked on Facebook who was free to model and Katy won out.  It really had more to do with her being available during the week but she’s gorgeous and I’m so glad she volunteered.   Oh boy and am I so glad that she was super patience. My battery pack died (even though it had been plugged into the wall for days) and I had no way of getting a new one for the shoot.  I figured oh well, we can go to a local park and use a plug at one of the concession stands, um yeah so when did parks stop have plugs (I remember as a kid they did).  We finally decided to just go back to my house and use our jungle of a backyard and the greenbelt behind our fence.  I say we because I made my lovely husband Ray assist me.  And magic happened.  We saw a shopping cart and pulled that into our shoot and I love our crazy brush as a backdrop.  I have to say I really love the lighting in these, let me know what you think, do you like the look?
