If for some reason you read this title and think that I am talking about the toys the kids got for Christmas--you might just want to stop now. This post is referring to the photography toys I got for Christmas--a reflector, soft box, and light stands so that I can now use my flash OFF the camera. I tried them out a little this morning (after I spent time yesterday and today figuring out how to set me up--not a job for the faint of heart.) The lighting on these isn't perfect, but it was my first try and I think they are acceptable.

Now those are some awesome toys! The one of Jacob sitting up is PERFECT! I would love to come see your set up...are you still using window light, or were these all lit with lights?
These were taken using my flash mounted to a light stand inside a soft box. My goal is to simulate window light, which I think can be incredibly soft and flattering, but isn't always reliable.
Goal attained! These definitely have a natural light window look. That is my favorite kind of light, so I just love these, again the one of Jacob sitting up is perfect!
