New Backdrop helps with family shoots

If you have worked with me in the past you have probably experienced the hobo backdrop of the black curtains and white table cloth. Those days are over!!! I recently purchased a fantastic studio kit on eBay. It came with a backdrop holder, a white, black and green backdrop, plus umbrellas and light stands. While I'm still new to studio lighting, I'm really loving the soft light that can be achieved by turning the umbrellas around, making them double as a softbox.

It will be a continued study of what works and what doesn't but I always get great shots no matter what.

I really love this family shot from the weekend. My first subjects in front of the backdrop.
