Today I am doing a little bit of practice and pre-setup for a shoot I have tomorrow. Last week one of my maternity clients had her little boy, and tomorrow she is bringing him in for his first portraits. I am really excited to do them! I did a portrait similar to this one her (with my actual son, not a doll) when he was born, and I had a beautiful 16×24 canvas printed of it. She said that she really wanted that picture, so tonight I assigned myself the job of practicing to re-create that shot. I think I did a pretty good job of making it look like the original, so I think the results will be good tomorrow. That also means that tomorrow’s shot of the day will be from a paid shoot. On days where I actually get paid to shoot, you can bet that I will be using them for this project! Check back tomorrow to see how close I got to this!

Today I read page 133 in my 5D Mark II manual, Magnified View.
