I actually took this at my regular full time job in the office on a Saturday.Time
This was taken in mid afternoonLighting
I only used Christmas lights for this shoot to try something a bit magical lookingEquipment
Canon 7D with tripodInspiration
I had never shot manual with no flash so I really wanted to try it. My niece, Sara was game for a long, learning shoot so we went for it! I love low lighting in photos as well so I wanted to see if I could do it.Editing
I added an overlay to the top of the image for extra sparkleIn my camera bag

Biggest thing is a tripod is a Must! I used a regular flashlight for extra lighting on her face as well
