Joel,
Glad to see the overall photos of your layout thus far! Thank you for posting! It is looking great. I agree with others, you have planned ahead well on backdrops, lighting, etc. Am I correct in what I am seeing in the 1st and 4th photos that there is a railing on a landing that the room is lower than the entrance door? Makes for a nice overall photo shooting place if that is what I am seeing.
Yes, I noticed you and Tim "Panther97" don't live very far apart. I'm about an hour and a half drive away.
