I've never done maternity shots, but I have done friends and family.
It's hard because they know you, but as long you can communicate your ideas (sketch or show them an example works well) this will help. I also ask if they have any ideas, sometimes that get them involved and things move nicely from there.
I also have some music playing in the background. Match the music to the mood you want and things go very smooth.
This is just me and my experience.....so far I've made £0 from this hobby, so I'm no expert.
Good luck......and breathe (hee, hee, whooo. hee, hee, whooo) |
