Hi,

Okay, i've been asked to photograph a Primary one class of around 15 5/6 year olds tomorrow morning...ARGHH!!! Also some kids have siblings in the school who will be included as a family shot, for these there will be between 2-4 kids in the shot between ages of 5-11. Arranging theses type of shots are where i am struggling a little!

I went out yesterday and bought or borrowed the following:
Bought Elinchrom 1xD-lite2 and 1xD-lite4, plus Umbrellas one Silver, two white.
Borrowed a 1000w Flash plus remote trigger.
Borrowed a plain white, plain black and blue muslin plus support.
Got a few Ikea plain stools for posing, two different heights and two of each height.

I am happy with lighting, but need some ideas on posing and any tips on keeping kids this age cooperative as i forgot to pick up rope and a big stick :P

Thanks, all tips appreciated and VERY NEEDED!!!
