Someone asked about the lighting here I think so I will talk a bit about it.

Its a pretty decent sized studio and I am working with all soft front lighting, with an overhead mini-soft box too.

I LOVE super soft light. I mean, I know the trend right now it hard lighting and hard shadows and thats cool too - but I personally love the yummy feeling soft light gives me.

Really this is a very simple lighting set up - but I used two strips, and two large soft boxes over... I think 1800 strobes, I forget what brand right now - one of the popular ones.

I own the Calumet three point travelite mobile studio - but this is not shot with that.

I've been very happy with that system so far though. It comes with a boom, stool, thre lights, stands, medium soft box, AND a couple wizards for a very decent price in my opinion.

Most people think Calumet is overpriced, but I beg to disagree. Some things may be more than B&H, but their new product lines are excellent and made for photographers on the go.

i also need to recommend anything by Gary Fong. Just google him. GREAT products for location photographers or people who are building studios wherever they can (like me).
