Thanks all, still waiting for the school to confirm as I have now insisted they check their insurance would cover it! I am using a vinyl backdrop on stands, and I know the lights can easily get knocked over by a runaway toddler so think it is important to check. They do lots of high risk...

Thanks Connorsz - the main problem was they used a yellow background which was awful with their uniform. All the parents just wanted plain white - so that was what I was going for... and hoping for the best really!

That's a great idea artographywales - thank you ☺

Well, they are going to pre book so will know it won't be the same day... Lighting is a bit hit and miss if I am honest. Easier in day light obviously, but I can't get it perfect every time yet. My poor kids are having to be guinea pigs nearly every night so I can try out different set ups!

Oh no... not doing it same day! Will give them out about a week later in the playground ☺

Thank you ☺ helpful to have a hyper child running around making them fly

Just after some advice on how to improve... the bird doesn't stand out against the trees very well but I don't know what can be done about that?

Was thinking of delivering the images on usb sticks- can get 8gb off amazon for £1.22 so thought that would be cheap enough!

Thanks so much - didn't even consider insurance. Have asked for confirmation as there is no way I need to get sued lol - they said it is probably ok as it's a charity thing but so not taking that risk! Will let you know what they say. Was going to do 5/6 families in the day - but will see...

Oh yes, didn't purposely do that - she just moved too fast so I couldn't get any poses like I can out of my 6 year old! I have cropped a bit of the dead space out and does look better. Just need lots more practice I guess.

Not really sure what you mean?

So... first go with a 1 year old (in fact first go with anyone other than my own kids!). Never realised how much more difficult this age group is. What do you think? What could I have done differently? Unfortunately I had the lighting set up and tested so it was perfect but she came in and I had...

Well, it's not really 'business' as such as it's raising money for the school - so I sort of feel that I should try at least... but yes - completely up for saying NO next time!

Hi, I have been enlisted to do a 'family photoshoot' day at my children's school - mainly as the recent official school photos were awful this year! To be honest I have no idea what to do - and won't know most of the families so don't know who will be in the photos so will have very limited...

Thanks Craig - had a quick look and these look exactly what I need. Will get stuck in.
