Prepping for a shoot

This is my dorky self doing a test photo as I set up lights. Depending upon the type of shoot I have planned I will arrive early for setup or scouting. On the shoot I had today, I knew I would have one maybe two setups. I get there early so I can do my most elabrate setup first before my subject gets to the location. I hate being kept waiting, and I hate keeping people waiting.  Because of this I usually wind up with several shots of me taken on a timer to test the light. Figured I would attach so everyone can laugh.
