Natural Light Photography

Sometimes I contemplate opening a studio... like, a physical studio, where I can set up lights and backdrops and shoot in PREDICTABLE conditions and probably cut back on a lot of the prep time that goes into scoping out locations and considering lighting when planning a session. But then I shoot outside on a summer evening when the sun is just SO incredibly rich, and when I see the photos I know that I'm a natural-light girl... nothing else compares (quoting Coldplay here). Seriously, when I think back on the most peaceful & profound moments of my life, they're lit something like this... and I know, at the end of the day, that this style of photography is simply indispensable. (Disclaimer: I'm NOT trying to discredit studio-type photography! I'm just in love with natural light-- I have MUCH respect for those who have mastered the art of the studio style!) Thoughts, anyone?
