I know what you’re thinking “She hasn’t written a blog post since before Covid REALLY hit!”, and you know what…You are 100 % right! I’ll be honest, this year I intended to write a LOT more post but the adjustment to full time entrepreneur & homeschool teacher coupled with the already demanding roles of wife and boy mom had a sista BUSY!
But I’m here now, at the end of December trying to convince ya’ll that 2021 will be different and that I will do better (I will I will). However, since it is the end of the year and I’m not going to bore you all with a play by play of all the months where I didn’t post an entry, I decided I would just end the year on something light.
This year because of that girl “Rona” my family really got creative on ways to make the best of our time at home. I converted a space in our home to a full studio which I run 90% of my company out of, we turned our guest room into a play room for the boys and literally any area of our home will act as my photo studio.
I wanted really bad to do family Holiday photos this year; its actually something I’ve wanted to do since my husband and I got married in 2018. Since we weren’t going to venture out to a professional photography studio in the midst of Covid I decided on a DIY Holiday Family photoshoot and I must say…I think it turned out great!
I used a single softbox light I ordered from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TGJPWYJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, a Christmas back backdrop from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DN95Y6K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1,background/ backdrop stand from…you guessed it…AMAZON https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MTF6ZVC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, my ring light stand with cell phone clasp and clicker from….yep….AMAZON https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GDC39Y2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The entire photoshoot was a huge success aside from Noble (my toddler) getting rowdy after picture #3 and making it impossible to get a photo where everyone was looking at the camera AND smiling lol. The DIY part of our photoshoot I was most proud of was all of the custom clothing pieces I made my family. I made my husband a vest, my boys turtle neck shirts and myself a dress.
