First PAID Family Portrait Shoot!

A couple of months ago I was asked by a co-worker to do a family portrait for her mother's birthday. The entire family (who are spread all over the country) were going to come to Michigan to attend the party. We agreed on a price and time. I was SOOOOO nervous. I don't have that much experience photographing HUMANS! I visited the site a few days before to get my Barings and see where the sun was going to be so I could find a good spot. Since I don't have a $600 for a Digital SLR I brought the film camera (the digital P&S just wasn't going to cut it) and PRAYED the photos would turn out.

I don't have a flash on my film SLR so I was a bit concerned about lighting. The photos were beautiful. I took almost 3 rolls of film. There were 17 people total...including 3 totters and an infant. Everyone was very corporative! This might be something I would do again. Even with the film camera I had pretty good luck with lighting!

well, film shouldnt be the reason you have bad lighting IMHO Film is a better medium overall... it may be less forgiving and you can't 'fix it' right away, but I love it...

congrats on a difficult shoot (that big a number is difficult) and I'm sure they love the photos!

Glad everything worked out. Ask the family if you can use the pictures and start a portfolio of your work.
