For some reason I all of a sudden got the urge to try photography in a studio setting. I had visions of tiny babies all sweet and asleep and under the lights and action of my camera. And sweet 1 year olds smashing a cake in celebration of the 1 year milestone. But before that could happen...I had/have a lot to learn about working with studio lights. I bought all the gear. And invaded our "formal" living room. Tonight, a simple $1 and pizza with cheese IN the crust was all it took to get these guys to cooperate so mom could "pretend" to have real live studio shoot. This is what I've learned so far. 1. Im so much more comfortable outside with natural light. 2. The light is more even in that room during the day using the studio lights with blinds open. 3. Lights off in that room at night produce less shadows. 4. Studio is much faster to edit. And 5. I must keep shooting and practicing...must keep shooting and practicing. Here are the results of our shoot tonight! Sorry there are so many!

Hey Ang~ I love the fact that you say WHEW.... I have so much to learn! Call Donna anytime. I bet she would love to give you a tip or two.
Looks like a good start! Love the blue/green stripe single shot of your son laying down.
I too need to learn so much more about studio work. I almost would rather stick to natural light but I just don't think that is possible when you live somewhere with a real winter. Sounds like you are off to a great start!
