A quick portrait while testing out my first umbrella setup in our living room.

My relatively new journey into portrait photography took another step forward on Thursday, as my first umbrella arrived in the mail. Like a kid on Xmas morning, I just had to set it up and test it our right away.

I still have a lot to learn and am highly motivated to practice, practice, practice. Even though I’m still starting out with all this new lighting gear, I’m pretty excited about the challenges and new experiences that lay ahead.
