  1. <p>So I have booked a photo session for 5 children and I am stuck on poses. I was hoping that someone could help! My problem is that 3 of the babies aren't even a year yet! Their ages are 8 years, 2 years, twins that are 8 months, and a 3 month old. <br>

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<br>

    Thank you<br>

  2. <p>Ok i am going to "play" again tomorrow at swim practice! What is the lowest shutterspeed you would recommend? I am just nervous with them being kids and all...<br>

    Thank you everyone for your help! I will let you know how it goes!<br>

  3. <p>This is taken with my my sb800.<br>

    Not a horrible snapshot for my sons photo album! But no where near the quality I am looking for! Not portrait material. The picture is so grainy.<br>

    Are you able to see the shooting data?<br>

    f/5.6<br>

    1/200<br>

    ISO 3200 (prob why its so grainy?)</p>

    <p>This second picture is taken with shutter 1/100.</p><div>00Ui6Y-179355984.thumb.jpg.78152ac9ae48b066277fc830c700349c.jpg</div>

  4. <p>I do have studio lights...@ Alien Bees with brelly boxes. But I assume that I can't have them close to the pool for safety reasons.<br>

    I will try to post some pictures so you can see what I am talking about!<br>

    Thank you for everyones help!<br>

  5. <p>I was wondering if anyone can help me here. I will be taking swim portraits. My son is on a swim team and they found out I am a photographer and asked me to take their swim portraits before the holidays! I feel like I am in a little over my head! I know how hard it is to get the lighting right inside by a pool! I was taking some sample shots yesterday to see if i can do this with one sb800 and the pictures were coming out horrible! I couldn't get the lighting right. the ceilings are so high so the bounce doesn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?<br>

    I will be doing individual shots and a team photo. <br>

    Also I have a nikon d80 (looking to upgrade soon), 18-135mm nikkor lense, sb800 (with bracket), also have alien bees but I assume they can not go near the pool.<br>

    I was thinking to get some reflectors. But I am not sure even where to place them.<br>

    I have a couple weeks to figure this all out!<br>

    Thank you for any help!<br>

  6. <p>So I have a beach portrait shoot this thursday and now I am nervous! I have never shot family portraits! I am used to children...not parents! ha! Anyways how many different poses should I use for them as a family? They are 2 sister.....one has a husband and son, the other sister has a daughter...so 5 people total! Also does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me as far as good poses? <br>

    I am so nervous! And appreciate any help!<br>

    Thank you!</p>

  7. <p>Does anyone have any tips to posing groups of 5 or more people for beach portraits? I have had a couple people ask me to do beach portraits for their families in the past week and I havent worked with more than 3 people (kids at that) at a time! please help!<br>

    Thank you<br>

  8. <p>I became a fan! <br>

    I do understand what you two are saying....when I show my clients their portraits I have them go to my personal website! But it is a nice way to get cliets since there is an abundance of people from all over the world on there! <br>

    there is my facebook if you would like to become a fan.</p>

  9. <p>I use Facebook more to keep in tough with people and to gain business than phot sharing! It's like free advertising...almost! I do put my person website up on Facebook for people to go to who are interested in having their portraits taken as well as my e-mail. You wouldn't believe how many new clients I have gotten since I made this account!</p>
  10. <p>Hello! I was just wondering if anyone on here has a Facebook? I have a personal page as well as a business page...and I was just wondering if anyone wanted to add me as a Facebook friend or fan?! Just as another way to look at each others pictures!<br>

    Thanx<br>

  11. I am thinking of getting lighting and I am undecided on what to get...softboxes, strobes, or more sb800s. I have

    a nikon d80 and a sb800. so far this has been fine but I know more lighting will make for better portraits! so

    my question is what does everyone reccomend? I am shooting in a small area so would it just be easier to get a

    couple more sb800's with some umbrellas or would something else work better?

    Thanks for any input!

  12. Does anyone know of any GOOD sites that will host and sell my photos. I do mostly portraits but I do have a

    wedding (a family member) coming up.

    I have tried smugmug but when i ordered photos from there I wasnt too happy with the quality of the prints.....I

    ordered i bunch of different sizes and papers to see what they looked (and felt) like and to see how it would be

    packaged. I wasnt too happy that it said smugmug all over the packaging....I would rather package it myself if

    thats what I need to do to not have another companies name all over my products! And also there were lines

    through the prints...which too my is a big no no! Although I did like the fact that in the shopping cart the

    customer can crop their pictures...i thought that that was very convienent.

    I was looking at BLUdomain. But I dont want to sign up for it until I see how they set up their shopping carts.

    If anyone has them, can I take a look at yours?

    I also belong to Collages but only signed up "per event" and I havent used them yet...if ever. I didnt know if

    I could make a website through them or not so I havent really tried!

    Anyways I am looking for a site that has client proofing, a shopping cart, a place to display some of my work.

    It isnt nessesary for the site to print the pictures...I would like to see them before my clients see them! But

    if they do than that is fine too!

    Hopefully someone can help me out.

    Thank You
