The first few shots were taken in the baby's bedroom. The crib was right near a window so I opted to open up the blinds and shoot right near the window. I put myself in between the window light and the child without casting a shadow on her. Here's the scene:

and here's the shot:

The next set up was in the master bedroom. The trick in there was that we needed to open up the drapes and let as much light in as possible. When you shoot inside you have to find the light and maximize it as much as you can! This is what the scene looked like:

And the shots:

Next up we shot in the living room, which was the brightest room of all. They had these huge windows! The first two rooms were normal rooms with regular sized windows. In the first two rooms I just found the brightest place in the room, maximized the light by opening up all the window coverings and placed my sweet little subject there. In the living room, I did the same thing but, because there was so much light in there, I had a much larger area to work in. These kind of windows are a photographer's dream!

In this scenario, I put my back to the windows and my gorgeous little subject in front of me facing the windows. Here are the shots from this set up:

Now it's your turn! Look for the brightest spot in your house and find a way to make it even brighter. Try opening up the front or back door and using that area. What about right next to one of your windows? Use the tricks from last week's lesson too.

I would love to see what you come up with! Please post your images to my Monday Lesson Flickr Pool. Please don't be shy. Your images don't have to be perfect. We're all most interested in your willingness to experiment and try something new.
