I met Zoya through Xanka form the maternity shoot I posted previously.

Zoya I also from Russia .

We did this shoot in her home in Bradenton because she has two young children to keep up with while he husband was away on business.

I enjoyed getting out of the studio and the lighting challenges that presents .

I tried several lighting setups ffom a single off camera speedlight fired remotely by the Nikon CLS system to a studio strobe setup and some good old window light.
