Life in Focus
I recently did a photo shoot with 3 month old baby.

• Some handy props were:
• Various colored blankets (I brought black, red and green)
• A small chalkboard & chalk

I also bought a Canon 60D just before recording this episode! 20% off at Ritz's going out of business sale. Couldn't pass it up!
