This was a blast! Lydia Potter Trumbo is from Alabama but is from Williamsburg. Her husband is in the service and is deployed right now and she got in touch with me to find out if I could do their portraits...as a surprise for her husband, Joel. So....we planned on a time when she would be visiting family here in Williamsburg. Lydia and her sister, Dabney, came over with the kids in tow. I got to watch the precious kids, Owan, Gunner & Evie while Dabney fixed Lydia's hair and makeup upstairs. We started the shoot off with Evie and Owan and then got Gunner in the mix. You'll see that we needed something Gunner could play with so he would crawl off the set! I actually think the cell phone adds panache to the pictures! Even though I love shooting kids, my favorite part was shooting Lydia. She was so kind and patient as I tried to experiment with some new lighting tricks I've learned. I think the outcome was fantastic. Backlighting a model is hard when your using a boom that's counter-weighted! It was interesting but fun. I'm so glad Lydia seemed to know her good side and how to work her face as a model! She's a natural! I think it helps when you grow up with sisters and you model for each other while growing up. It helps you learn yourself...I'm guessing :) I'm an only girl with three brothers. So...here is the outcome of our Monday morning shoot! Enjoy!
