I’ve been tagged in a few behind the scene photos from recent styled shoots. Now everyone wants to know:
What is that light and where did you get it?

Guys! This light is my new favorite thing! I’m so happy you all want to know because I want to share! A few days before my workshop, I was hanging out with Brennan of B Beautiful Artistry. We were talking about lighting up Herm’s. She told me about her continuous soft boxes. I normally use strobes or speedlights, but I hate how they look. When I saw this beautiful Continuous Indoor Lighting, I ordered them on Amazon Prime that very second. I have used them on EVERY indoor shoot and wedding since then.
I love them because…
- they’re cheap
- they’re continuous
- they are so beautiful
- they are SO easy
- I hate flash
- they mix well with natural light.

See them in action…
WHEN, WHERE & HOW I USE THEM…
- indoor lifestyle sessions
- at home with my kids
- simple product shoots
- indoor portrait sessions (restaurants, venues, churches, etc)
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…4, 5. Flip on 1-5 switches to light up your subject. Move the softbox closer for softer light, and further for harsher light. You can use one at a time, or both together depending on how much extra light you need. The possibilities are endless, and straightforward.
WHEN/WHERE I DON’T USE THEM…
- weddings
- receptions
- large events
They do an amazing job lighting a few people or small area, but are not powerful enough to light up a full venue. Also, they mix better with windows and natural light rather than incandescent lighting.
Gorgeous, right?
