I had a great Winter break, but was very excited to get back to doing what I love – photographing babies! Over the break I still had photography on the brain (shocker!). I attended Imaging USA in New Orleans which was an amazing photography conference. I learned so much! I also got together with some local photographer friends to learn studio lighting. My goal is to be able to work in any situation and being a natural light photographer made dark, stormy days very difficult. I needed to keep things fairly portable since I plan to continue working on-location. The solution is a one light set-up that produces very natural and soft lighting. Here are some of the images we took from the get-together with the studio lighting. I just love the results!

A special thanks to Kelly Lisk Photography for demonstrating her studio lighting techniques, Karen for hosting our gathering, and our lovely models!
