Here’s the follow-up to the previous post. I had four portrait sessions booked for Saturday afternoon & all day the following Sunday. I love being busy!
I had a great time meeting four completely different family dynamics: a dating couple (+ fur baby), a married couple, three siblings (+ mom), and parents with 3 1/2 year old triplets (yes, TRIPLETS).
Here are a few of my favorites.
For all of them, I used my SB-800s with Pocket Wizard Flex TT5/Mini TT1 combo. It did as I needed it to do in a variety of outdoor settings. Since I was working without an assistant, mobility & portability were just as important as light quality.
Only one of these six pictures was shot without flash. Can you guess which one?

The leaves have turned and fallen here in Atlanta, which means it’s my favorite season for outdoor portraiture. Here are a couple recent family portraits I’ve done, with many more to come.
For all of these images, I used the newish PocketWizard TT5 system – both with my Nikon Speedlights and with my PCB Einstein. It’s a seamless system that lets me use TTL with the Speedlights and switch to manual mode with both flash systems. Because they’re PocketWizards, I don’t have to question the reliability.
For overcast days or in open shade (like the first two images), the Speedlights give me all the power I need to add a little punch or to shape the images.
If it’s a sunny, bright day and I have a lot of sun to tame (last two pictures), the Einstein with Vagabond Mini is perfect.
It’s nice having options but only needing one radio remote system.

UPDATE: I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the “Digital Images to Share” part. Here’s the skinny. You’ll get the touched-up digital images from the day in web/email size. You can probably print a 4×6″ photo from the file size. If you want larger prints, you can order those from me a la carte or purchase all of the high-resolution files for an additional $50.
