I now have a backdrop with several options as well as a modest amount of portable lighting.
In this particular shoot, we chose not to set up the lighting as this particular home has a solid amount of ambient light. In addition, for young children, safety is first and curious kids can knock over strange objects like lighting stands. In addition, the backdrop presented a fairly scary initial scene but if I brought in the rest of the mobile studio into her house the shoot might not have gone so well.
This is a youngster that I have now been able to shoot several times in her first year. Thanks to mom's help and encouragement, we were able to capture quite a show!
There are many reasons why you could consider having a children's shoot done in the home. The child is already fairly comfortable. I mean, how often has the doctor or dentist come to your home in this day and age? In addition, the house is typically filled with familiar and meaningful props.
Think of all the images we can create with our little portable studio! If you need some great portraits or head shots, but don't want to go to a studio. Contact us, maybe we can come to you!
