Behind the Scenes

No, I don't have a black wall.

I do have a metal frame I can snap together to hang backdrops on, and that's what I used today - with my favorite black stretchy velvet draped over the top bar set high enough to be out of the shot but low enough that I could reach over it.

Behind the sofa and velvet is a dog crate, which we haven't used since Henry was a pup and is now a flat surface to stack Family Room "precious objects" (i.e. photography props) on top of. The pile is... colorful... and makes a hideous backdrop, hence the need for the black stretchy velvet fabric "wall".

Also behind the sofa and velvet was me, calling Zachary around from his down-stay to capture his "waking up".

Picture #2, #3, and particularly #4 are dead give-aways as to my location as Henry's nose (and Zachary's in #4) is pointed too high and left to actually be looking at Kitty.

For shot #5 I resorted to putting cookies on Kitty's back (hidden behind her head) resulting in the most loving looks she's probably ever gotten from the boys. :)

The Happy Family

Editor's Note: Ok people, Kitty was most definitely NOT meant to be PART of yesterday's Be Prepared survival provisions. 

At least... I don't think she was....

Zachary!!!

... and before anyone brings it up, no Kitty's were harmed in today's shoot, either! :)
