Michelle Somerville This is awesome! Thanks for sharing 😀 Funny how my ‘load’ is the same as yours. Props take over my car, and storage space (and client’s home, lol)
Would you say your 24-70 is your newborn lens? Mine is the 50 1.4 but anytime I need the zoom and wider angle I love my 24-70.March 4, 2011 – 11:42 am

Hayley Roebuck Great post Arden! I love seeing the behind the scenes pictures of you! You sure do have a way with those newborns and it shows in the finished product 🙂March 4, 2011 – 9:38 am

Pam D Oh my word. The one of the little guy in the ballglove … that boy BETTER play baseball after that! All of the finished photos are incredible, and I love the behind the scenes shots, too. Sweet, sweet babies…March 4, 2011 – 9:13 am

Lynn Love this Arden! I wish I looked as adorable as you when I shoot! I’m trying to figure out a way to lug all my stuff around!! I’ve just been throwing it all in large trash bags (so ghetto) I like the idea of using suitcases!March 4, 2011 – 9:11 am

Sarah Potter Is that your 24-70 lens in these shots? I think these posts are great for people to realize all the effort that goes on behind the scenes to get the great shots! Nice work. (BYW, I love how fun you are with nail polish!)March 4, 2011 – 9:11 am
