Thank you for visiting my blog! I suspect that your 11 year old does a much better job than the stand that came with my reflector. It's too light and flimsy. The reflector turns it into a sail boat with the the slightests of breezes! I'm sure that better stands can be found at a photography store, however. Erin Hi Carrie! Thank you for visiting my blog!

I'm new to your blog and I love it! Just wanted to say that the 40 bucks I invested in a reflector was totally worth it. It gives natural light photos a very professionally light feel to them that you can't get otherwise without a ton of baggage. However, I don't have one of those stands. Would you recommend that piece of equipment? Right now my 11 year old is holding mine on shoots for clients. Hi! I’m new to your blog and I love it!

I forgot to warn folks that reflectors can be dangerous! Were you able to refold it? That's where I have problems. Good point. I forgot to warn folks that reflectors can be dangerous!

I need to train my husband better! At the Pixel Fairy Princess workshop I took, Debbie showed a method for getting a cute shot of a person lying on the ground with their hands supporting the chin. Their elbows are on one side of the reflector and the photographer's are on the other. It's a cute post, and the reflector never enters the photo. I know, it is hard to find a reflector holder.

You're both so incredibly talented:) I've seen people using the reflectors at an arboretum and wished I had one desperately...may have to give the homemade one a try first....thanks for the tip.

I've been wondering about reflectors so I purchased one on-line. I received it yesterday but had no idea where to start with it. So glad that you posted this info today. Everyone should know to be careful when they first unzip the cover of the reflector. It's like a spring type Jack-in-the-Box. If you're not careful, you'll get popped in the face like I did!
