Tips Wanted for First Shoot -

[shotbyclaudio]

After 30 years of actively shooting I've decided to take the plunge and put together a portfolio by shooting friends and their families. I'm doing most of these for free to quickly put a portfolio together. I'll be shooting Maternity, Children and Family portraits to get my feet wet and I feel really good about finally doing this. I would appreciate any and all advice regarding the trade in general, suggestions on any particular equipment I should use and techniques that help workflow and final production presentation. I thank you in advance for your generosity in taking some time out of your day to help me move forward. My first shoot is a maternity this Saturday!

Beautiful presentation.  Would it be possible for me to view your contract and copyright release? Wow, very nice. As far as asking myself that question....I asked that and more.  I wondered if I should buy the L lenses. Yes, I ready for this. I know hard work better than most.  I've done my research and the MkIII will be in my repetroire. The household income of this family will allow for it I assure you.
