I just picked up a JTL studio lighting kit (2 stands, umbrellas and 85w flourescent bulbs) and their heavy duty background support. Also picked up an inexpensive 6x9 background to start me off. I'm really a landscape guy but I figure investing $350 in studio gear is much smarter than my wife spending $50 at penny's for our son's pictures. This is a kind of a personal challenge (to me) to get better results than a big box studio (I think my wife is skeptical) but I won her over with my results working with portrait pro last weekend. I'm hoping this will help me deal with the winter confinment also!
I'll post some results over the weekend.
