What do you do?
What do you do when its already an uncomfortable 90 degrees at 10 am? You open the door to get the light you need and let your clients still get the AC they need!
Just playing around

Side of the Road
The city where I live currently increases in population by about 11,000 a year. It was the fastest growing city in the nation last year. As a result, I am surrounded by construction and homes. There is an empty lot that I drive by almost everyday. I am sure it will be some kind of office complex in a year or so, but I have always wanted to try some photos there. Its surrounded by two streets, homes, and a mobile home storage lot, so on first look, its not the greatest spot. I talked my sister in law into going with me. I stepped out of the car only to be swarmed on my feet by huge fire ants. I was wearing flip flops as it was already almost 90 degrees at 9am!!! See, growing up in the midwest, I didn't mind ants. They never bit me. Here, even the tiny black ones bite. Ants are a real pain here. So, we moved to another spot and tried to avoid the ants. Luckily the kids had boots on. I think the background turned out pretty nice for an empty lot in the desert!

Belly shots
Oh how I wished my tummy looked this good when I was pregnant! It's their first baby and she is definitely glowing! We have another shoot set up for when the baby arrives and I am excited to find out if its a girl or boy!
I had a lot of really low lighting situations on this shoot.....thank goodness for my new Kubota Actions!
