I wanted to shoot in a field, but she was shy so we did an indoor shoot. I wasn't immediately impressed with this image so I shot it and moved on. It wasn't until I imported it into Lightroom that I saw how peaceful and dreamy this image was.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was shot in the clients home.

Time

This shot was taken in the middle of the day, which did not matter since we were indoors.

Lighting

This was lit with a single studio strobe.

Equipment

I used a Canon 5D MKII, a 24-70mm and an Alien Bees 1600 with a large gridded octobox.

Inspiration

I had a beautiful mom to be that wanted an indoor maternity session. I was determined to get a shot as dreamy and beautiful as I could have outdoors.

Editing

Yes, I disliked the texture of the wall and there was a distracting window that was edited out of the scene. I did some color correction and softened and blurred the fur to make the scene a little dreamier.

In my camera bag

My camera bag is very simple. I have a Canon 5D MKII, a 24-70mm 2.8, a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 and a Canon 600EX Speedlite.

Feedback

Be confident and make your client comfortable.
