Guinea pig needed (but a cooperative "tween" will do!!)

I've been working on some new lighting techniques and need a cooperative, willing child older than seven to volunteer to be a guinea pig for me. This would be an outdoor session, and I promise I'd make it worth your while (***hint hint*** digital files!****). But I would ask that any volunteer model be easy-going, comfortable being photographed, and do well with taking direction.

Someone have pity on me...I've been chasing around my almost -2-year-old trying this new technique out...and let me tell you, she's FAST, a lot faster than me when I'm dragging around a big ole light on a stand outside! And the 8-year-old just scowls when he sees me coming with the camera...

Here are some of my practice shots...this lighting technique opens the doors wide open to shooting possiblities! I'm picky about light, so I have never liked doing portrait work outside because you are at the mercy of the sun. But this new method I'm working on will give me more control over even outdoor lighting, which means I could get out of the studio every now and then!

So see, reading my blog has it's perks!
