Mankey Family Christmas Portraits Dec 2009

A few weeks ago I spent an evening shooting portraits w/ the Mankey's.  Their new daughter was a delightful addition to this quarterly event.  As usual all were shot w/ a Nikon D80 and 1 or 2 SB-600 Strobes.  We used a black background (because it's all i had) and introduced some christmas props for the kids.  See the rest in this Flickr Set

My headshot assignment for the Strobist Boot Camp. Matt was kind enough to cooperate w/ me one evening to achieve the head shot. To read about the assignment, look here.

Strobist is the premier off camera lighting blog. It doesn't get much better than that. Any one interested in taking better flash photos. I strongly recommend checking it out. Watch for the next assignment in the next few weeks.
