Here are some SOOC images (straight out of camera) from the photo shoot:
It takes many (many!) images to create one finished piece. The cats were particularly easy to work with (insert sarcasm here- cats were crazy maniacs). After hours of editing I was happy with the results- you can see the finished images here:

Two Saturdays later I had the opportunity to travel to shoot a very special boy- Logan born at 27 weeks weighing barely over 1 lb and now celebrating a healthy 8th birthday! Word grew and at the end of the day I had 4 kids scheduled to shoot (Adorable Savannah who suffers with vascular malformations and hearing limitations, Quincy with his big eyes and FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) and sweet David who was diagnosed 2 years ago with Autism. That is more than I would typically plan on in a single day but since distance was a factor I was grateful for the opportunity. It took some intense planning as I have to have the pictures firmly set up in my mind before shooting. And in the rush I forgot to make the list of shots to take (rookie mistake!) I ended up missing one shot I needed and had to improvise a little bit. Here are some of the SOOC:
You can see a lot of my issues are budget oriented. Limited lighting is my biggest weakness. I try to take advantage of large windows to go with my limited flash system. I don't bother to set up a backdrop. I find it makes kids nervous and unnatural and as long as I have something of a solid wall behind I can extract pretty decently.
