Family Photo Photography

Canon EOS if you are into affordable cameras below 1k.
If you want something above 1 grand I suggest Victor Hastleblack or Leika.

Life as a portrait photographer... some clients are more lovely than others.

We are a large family, 2 adults and 5 children, and we are taking family photos. We are planning to do take the photos outdoors at a park location. I want to find some creative ideas for taking standard family photos as well as photos for our Holiday Cards.

Where can I look for poses for taking family photos? I would also like to look at some other examples. Thanks!

Think about what describes your family, or your personalities. If you are an athletic family, maybe you want to add some soccer balls or basketballs. If you are a musical family, perhaps bringing some instruments into the photo would be fun? Hamming it up could be fun too, or picking a clothing theme. See if there are any other props you could use. Have fun!

Price: $15.00

So I want a camera. I want it kind of cheap too. What is the best DIGITAL camera I could buy.. that would make my photos look closest to pro photography?

I want a really good and detailed picture.

I have a Kodak -- but it's more for "family" photos.. etc. Nott for photography.

Both Nikon and Canon have entry level DSLR's that are far less money than the pro versions

Nikon D40x and Canon Rebel XTi

Here is a link that shows all of them .. except the pro versions of the DSLR's

So, this is my first 'legit' paying job as a photographer, and a family has asked me to do their family photos. Do any pros have any tips? A checklist? Certain poses? How much to charge? Most people in my area charge around 80$ for a half hour sitting, and a half hour at an outdoor location, so I should charge less, right? But how much less? How many pictures do I give them? Etc. I just want to be sure that I nail this on my first time.

find out if they expect a studio sitting or want location work. Then do your homework first and inspect the location site if that's what they want. Determine whether you will need to bring accessory lighting (i.e. strobes, umbrellas, bounce cards, etc.) and what time of day will be the best lighting. Will it be indoors, or outside? If it's indoors, you will get your best results if you have a large picture window as the light source, as long as you don't have direct sunlight coming through the window. As far as the number of prints go, I would show them several "proofs" which are sample images to choose from. Then, let them select the images they want, offer them prices on a variety of sizes and possibly some package deals to get them to purchase more images.

My Husband, daughter, and I want to get family photos done. Also Solitaire photos of our 4 month old daughter.
I know of Kiddie Kandids at Babies R us, not sure if they do family photos though.
And Sears does photography too.

I just want to get the most for my money.

Also I live in the USA.

Any Ideas?

the picture me studio in walmarts are pretty cheap, they have a package going now that is $5.99, you get 8x10, 2 5x7, 4 - 3 1/2x5, 8 wallets, and 16 keepsakes. its pretty cheap, sears portrait studios sometimes runs offers like that too.
