Lillie Kate turned one year old on the 6th. So this past weekend we decided to do her 1 year photoshoot in between church and media at night service. However Lillie had other plans she decided she needed to take a 3 hour nap. So I set everything up and we were able to do her shoot later in the night. One thing I have found the older she gets is you can not get her to stay in one place. With lighting the light falls in a range you configure so your exposure is correct. However if you move closer or farther from the light this changes. However through much picking Lillie Back up and moving her she stayed still long enough to get 1-3 shots per move. Instead of doing my normal boom setup I decided to just use a stand on the side to light the back ground. This way I showed it can be done this way also. I also tried using a flag to keep the light from spilling over where I did not want it to be. It seemed to work.
