A few more from that crowded day in La Jolla

Lights
Fill flash
Reflectors
Scrims
Power Packs
Assistants

I don’t bring ANY of that stuff to my photo sessions,
and I don’t have to when I have awesome clients like that dude up there!

Lugging all of that equipment around would be a pain,
and a lot of “schtuff” makes it harder for a family to casually enjoy their time together.

But sometimes I need some help to make families look even better.

Check out these ladies, for example:

Jennifer there on the right has a big splotch of direct sun on her face.
She’s shading her mom, and her mom is shading her sister,
but poor Jennifer had nobody to shade her!

Enter our knight in shining armor, HUBBY!

I didn’t need a LOT of shade, I just needed to block that one spot on Jennifer’s face.
Her husband stood off to the side, raised his arms in the air just right, and VOILA!

I had him bring back his roll as ShadeMakerSupreme for another shot of some beautiful ladies together:

Here’s another fun shot from the end of the session when the family patriarch put on his cool shades:

And some closeups of the beautiful granddaughters

This next one was the final shot of the day, when this little gymnast was itching to show off her skilz

Enjoy!
