okay so this is cheating just a bit as the photo was taken a bit earlier,
HOWEVER *LOL* i processed the session and this photo this week,
and my client submitted it to a beauty pagent...
where it won the contestant a 'most photogenic' title (cool beans huh?!)

this was taken at the client's house -- "on location."
had two alien bees set up: one 100% diffused parabolic reflector and one 4 foot soft box.

the backdrop is the leather couch in the family room.
to add some pressure, her father, my customer, is a professional photographer who
has had his own studio for 8 years! talk about butterflies.

during this session i took photos of the entire family, and then the individual
portraits of the kids. i had a blast, even with all the butterflies playing ping pong
in my stomach. :-)
