In a Van...Down by the River.

Crazy title to this post huh? Well, I thought I would share with you a little secret from my last session. This little man, we'll call him "Smilish", set out with me for a little adventure and his 5th year photo session. The sun was bright...but the wind was blowing and it was cold. So at each new location we had about 1 minute to get out and shoot before we jumped back into the warm van. So when I reached the location down by the river I decided to stay in the van for a while to warm him up. My solution, pump up the heat...throw up a small backdrop and open the van door wide. And there you have it...a mobile photo studio with amazing natural light!

And here's the set-up.And the result. Not bad for a Van Down By The River.

Okay, I just have to add one more thing. I think my favorite part of the last photo (besides the lovely light) is how he is grabbing his big toe. Love those details!
