Julie,
I love the concept and I'm surprised I've never run into Ren on any of my journeys around the show circuits. The bus must give him plenty of room especially if he uses a single light -- although my double-light setup is seldom more than 10 ft apart.

His sitting fees are very reasonable -- $10 for small dogs and $15 for larger ones. Which means he has to move a lot of dogs through his "studio" in a day to make it worthwhile. And he does lovely work.

I'm not sure about being on the road for 8 months out of the year but you could truly "follow the sun" with that rig and go where outdoor shooting is also available.

Now, to figure out how to do that with 6 dogs and a cat in tow . The bus might not be big enough .

I like your mini-studio. I think it works great for smaller dogs. With a tent, you could also create an outside studio adjacent to the RV and still power your lights for larger dogs. Very nice use of space.
