Even in sunny Tucson we occasionally experience overcast and rainy days, on an average of 53 days a year. I need to be able to capture photographs on any day no matter the weather, or the time of day (or evening for that matter).     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>   Therefore, in 2018 I added strobes to my photography gear so I could create any kind of light I want depending upon the style of photographs my client&#8217;s need or desire. As a professional photographer it&#8217;s critical that my gear enables me to capture the types of images my client&#8217;s want me to capture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/michelleowens.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Portrait_1562_Blog-696x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Portrait_1562_Blog-696x1024.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Portrait_1562_Blog-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Portrait_1562_Blog-768x1129.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Portrait_1562_Blog-1044x1536.jpg 1044w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Portrait_1562_Blog-1393x2048.jpg 1393w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Portrait_1562_Blog-1200x1765.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artifactps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Portrait_1562_Blog.jpg 1649w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption>Andrea captured in front of the Bay window. An extra layer of drapes were hung for additional texture in the image. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>   Portrait sessions include images captured with natural light, strobes and a mix of both. I have also added an outdoor farmer&#8217;s market canopy to better control the light for photographs captured in my backyard. A favorite set-up with the outdoor canopy is to hang sheer fabrics that sway in the wind and play hide and seek with the rays of the sun. It&#8217;s nice having two distinct areas to capture natural light images both inside and outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
