My youngest (just turned 2) at my nephew's birthday party discovered he LOVES ball pits. I also discovered that they can be a lot of fun to pictures in. Would be nice if the ball pit was not in a cave. At least they were nice enough to hang a banner on the outside of net wall of the ball pit. This gave me a big beautiful white reflector for bouncing. Use of an omnibounce knockoff diffuser added a second little catchlight as well.

    Thanks for posting this! My son has two ball pits, and I never even thought of photographing him in them. You've given me inspiration!!

    Cheers
