Studio Hrefna #3 – Ríkey and kids
On both 10 and 11 December, my cousin Ríkey (our grandparents were siblings) and her two kids came by our house after work .
We meant to take Christmas card photo on the first day, but I foolishly decided to make us lasagne for dinner, not realizing that lasagne takes over an hour of hard work to make, and so we ran out of time.
The next day I was more cunning with my dinner choice (oven baked cod and sweet potatoes) so we had time to take some photos.
Ríkey actually owns a proper ‘home studio’ set up, with two crazy powerful lights in fancy softboxes, buuuuut I didn’t know how to sync them properly to my camera which refused to acknowledge their presence, even though I got the lights to fire simultaneously.
So I reverted back to my simple two-flash, one-umbrella setup. Sigh. (She left the home studio box here though, and it’s on my to-do list to get it figured out!)
Anyway, on to some photos! 🙂 (11 images total)
Ríkey and her darlings.
Siblings. They were a little punchy after a whole day at daycare.

Here’s the ‘studio’ setup. We removed the coffee table, and draped our white-ish Ikea curtains over the sofa. The light was on the right side in front of the sofa. Maybe I’ll get my self a proper backdrop some day…
