A little out of my element

I am a studio photographer.  I love being in the studio.  I love knowing *exactly* what my light is going to look like, and if I stand right here and point it there and do this, that it's going to look like that.  I admit, I'm a little bit of a control freak.  It works for me.  (Which is kind of funny, really, because I also love doing documentary photography.)   

So today, when I did a newborn session at a client's home, with mostly available light, and three dogs, I was a little out of my element.  It's not like I don't know how to do any of it.  But I was away from my comfort zone, so I had my fingers crossed the whole time that they looked like I thought they were going to look.  Want to see how they turned out?  :)
