Today, I want to share a new birthday photoshoot I did for a client in my photography studio.

For the first few shots, we decided to start without any extra accessories, as a warm up:

All photos were taken with my Canon R8 camera and a 50mm f/2.8 lens.

For lighting, I used two light points: for the main light, I used a speedlite flash with a 50 cm octabox at a 45 degree angle to the girl, and as a secondary light, I used an LED light panel behind her to create a rim light.

Next, we placed a large balloon on the set, this one was special because it had the client's name on it:

The client already had previous experience with photoshoots and was confident in front of the camera, so she instinctively struck the poses she liked best.

For the next photos, we added more balloons to the set:

At that moment, an idea came to mind to create a photo with a bit of depth, and the result was one of my favorite shots:

For the following photos, we used number candles, and they turned out adorable:

Then we lit the candles and placed them on top of some cupcakes for the next set of photos:

For the next photo, the client crouched down, and I placed a circular light modifier in the background and the result was very beautiful:

And for the grand finale, the client popped a confetti cannon for this photo, which turned out to be very funny:

By the end of the photoshoot, the girl was very happy with her photos. I hope you like them as much as we did!
