we've been doing Weddings now for about 3 years, and with marriage usually comes babies!! My brother in law just had his little daughter, Alexus Ann, about 2-3 weeks ago and we've been wanting to do a session with her. We are in the process of converting our garage into our home studio/office, so we just set up shop in the living room. Not use to using stands, umbrellas, and props. Luckly I had my wife with me, she has the "girly" eye! I guess what I'm looking for is some lighting critique. I was using one 580EX bounced out of a umbrella. I don't have a shoot through, would that make a big difference in my lighting? Also, would you typically use 2 lights with a baby shoot? one for fill?

He and his fiance were very happy! Thanks

They were my persona favs!

nice job on the lighting and what a beautiful baby!

Thank You! I was wondering if any of you have used satin white umbrellas instead of silver bounced umbrellas? Also if anyone could tell me if a large softbox would be better than umbrellas?

personally I like large softbox's better for little ones, and I have not used the satin white umbrellas myself but I have heard they are just as nice to use as the silver ones.
