Home Is Where the Heart Is

In the previous post, I mentioned how nervous I was because of my first attempt doing portraits outdoors.  Well, for my second shoot I was doubly nervous because I had to do it indoors!  This presented an entirely different challenge, that of finding adequate light.  Initially, I had planned to take this family's photos at a lovely little site I had scoped out in advance, but unfortunately, the weather refused to cooperate.  The day turned out gray and rainy :(   So on to Plan B!  Due to insufficient lighting, Andre grabbed one of those bright work lights from the garage and we had to improvise.  After a lot of fumbling--turn the light this way, no that way--we rigged up something that worked.  The warmth of the indoor light provided a stark contrast to the cold, gray weather just outside the window.  I feel cozy and warm just looking at these!
