In The Studio

Too cute for words!
Last night I had the opportunity to "play" in a studio with a bunch of other photog friends. The owners are semi-retired photographers who built a beautiful studio specifically to rent to photographers and video people.

They basically started a photography club and scheduled a once a month "instructional" meeting at their place. Pure Genius! What a great way to get exposure for their studio and draw in the customers!

It was my first experience in a real studio, with real studio lighting. The models in the picture are Mandy, my photog friend and neighbor, and her dog Bailee. We had such a blast! Bailee was a good sport and did all kinds of tricks and jumped for toys. I got some great action shots of her in the air catching a little squeeky toy.

I missed last Sunday's shoot of the flower show at Navy Pier and was so disappointed. I was down for the count with the flu for the past two weeks. Now I'm feeling better and spring is coming so I'm hoping to post pics more frequently going forward. :)
