Nothing compares to natural light… 😍

Bright and beautiful, a literal dream come true.

I started my photography career using only natural light (as we all do), but when I shifted to a larger studio in 2020, the natural light just wasn’t the same. I relied heavier on my strobes and created incredible magic within that space.

But I always missed natural light. You can replicate it with strobes, or at least try, but it’s never the same.

I’m so grateful to my client for letting me play around in my new space. She absolutely crushed it in a million ways and her trust in me allowed us create some unbelievable art!

When she booked months ago I told her I didn’t have a space and would let her know where we were shooting as soon as I booked a spot.

I booked one place before ever seeing it, but once I shot there for another client I knew immediately it was the wrong place. So I cancelled (and even lost my deposit). I don’t play around with this kinda thing 😂.

Fortunately my friend @i_am_rocksteady is so generous and let me use his space for another session, so I was able to keep that as a backup.

Once I signed my lease I kept her posted, up until the very last minute I wasn’t sure if we’d be able to get in there in time. The floor had been painted that Monday, cured by Tuesday and by Wednesday we were in and shooting!

Grateful for her flexibility and willingness to pivot last minute. Also grateful for friends who freely share what they have so others can thrive.

I think it was worth the roller coaster ✨
