Good day for shooting today. The new baby carrier that my wife ordered came today and she wanted to show it off in pictures. (She had been eying this up and saving her pennies for months, so for Christmas I gave her the money she needed.) We did about sixty shots with her wearing the baby in the new wrap, and honestly I had a hard time picking just one to showcase. This one is great though, and almost straight out of the camera.

I’ve been working on cleaning up the family room, which had become overrun with the children’s overflow. Part of the motivation was to find the floor again, but part of it was also to start setting up a bit of a photo studio to work in. Today I actually did some shooting in said studio and I am very happy about it! The photos were good but not great as I was a little lighting challenged at the time. (Rechargeable batteries sipping from the charger, alkaline batteries all used up, and the single halogen work lamp was creating some harsh shadows.) So a few more things to work on in the studio, including a DIY softbox for the worklamp, adding a few clamp lights, and making something to hang a backdrop from. The shooting wall has a fireplace in it, which makes a nice prop and all, but ultimately I need to make a few muslins. Still, it is nice to finally a place to do some good inside work as well. It’s been a good day.
