Now I have a few questions. What time of day do you generally shoot at? The light always seems PERFECT! Do you use a combination of natural and a key light using "Lowell ID 100w video light w/ 4-way barn doors + Bescor battery." If not what do you use for your key light source and what do you use the lowell light for. Does the battery work for strobe packs? I've used natural light and reflectors my whole career (4 years) ;) and now we are learning about strobes on location in class (Texas A&M Commerce Photography) and I am a little lost. The thought of constant light sounds good if it is what you used in all of your fabulous engagement/ day after photos. Thanks for your help and inspiration, Amanda :) Hi Stacy,

Recently, (three weeks ago) I did a BiLo commercial using nothing but the Canon 5D Mark II. After spending a lifetime working with Panavision cameras this concept came out of left field for me. I've been entertaining the idea of shooting weddings as a sideline. Is it ever requested that you also shoot video with your 5D during a wedding shoot? If so, how do you price yourself? Would you alter your lens and go with the Zeiss Lens pack instead? I’m curious. Recently, (three weeks ago) I did a BiLo commercial using nothing but the Canon 5D Mark II.

My DH gave it to me for my birthday and I've only played around with it. Now I really want to learn. I've been intimidated on some of the forums with the gadget crazy clickers, but I kept thinking that it's not the camera, but the practiced eye,composition and learning the techniques. Now I'm going to go out and play and find someone locally to help me learn. Thank you for the gift! THANK YOU – for giving me permission to learn how to create good photos using my 5 year old Rebel.

The 85 1.2 is probably better for portrait work due to the longer focal length, but I swear by my 50. I haven't used the 85 Mark II so I don't know if the focus is faster or not.

I read your comments regarding the 85 1.2L, question, was that the newer Mark II version? (I understand that the newer version focuses much faster.) I am looking at that and or the 50 1.2. I do mostly portraits so that is also a consideration for me so I was leaning towards the 85 1.2 and a 50 1.4 See you in January! Regards, Ethan Hey Stacy,

I was so nervous I nearly puked but it all turned out fine. I've found your work inspiring - everything I'd like my work to be really. I'm only 4 months in and I seem to be making headway - based on my 1 wedding experience I have 7 weddings booked for summer and another 4 new client appointments over the next 3 weeks. I've got 2 new lenses which I love - 50mm 1.8 and the 28-135mm and they've made a great difference. I'm hoping that my photo's with my rebel turn into much better photo's when I get my 5D II later this year. Btw your pricing guide has been a revelation - thankyou.
