Today was Turner’s last day at his Mother’s Day Out. He had a runny nose and a cough, so I know he didn’t feel 100% but I think he had a fun time anyway. We’re moving him to another location

The Flare
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how I lit Traci’s photo from yesterday (not true), so I’m more than happy to brag more about it (true). I used an Alien Bees AB-800 with a softbox; I used 4 sheets
Traci’s Maternity 2.0
