As mentioned in an earlier blog, taking shots at home works well with keeping all concerned relaxed and happy. However, I am a firm believer in avoiding using flash if possible and making use of all available natural light.
Bedside shots work well especially if there is a contrasting background or duvet in this case. Also it is worth experimenting with different angles. The two lenses that I use for these shots are the Canon 24-105mm L IS USM and the Canon 85mm f1.8 - the latter, although a fixed focal length, steps down to just f1.8 which can really make portraits "pop".
Always on the look out for detail. Although the above shot is cliched, it is still a fun one to do!
