I'd like to introduce you to my studio assistant, um, "Bear". Bear lives in the studio and because he's full of beans (literally), he sits up nicely and his eyes capture the light so he helps me set my exposure and light position so I'm all ready when clients arrive and I can spend my time getting to the know animal and relaxing before the session. Why are you meeting my assistant at this point in time? Well because I went back to the studio for another crack at getting the desired effect with the silver board. I liked the pictures with Ginger but they weren't exactly what I was aiming for. I decided to leave Ginger at home so I could focus on adjusting the light and the backdrop for the best results and voila! I got it (with my husband's help - also known as my other assistant LOL - and another round of quarterbacking with Chad!).
