I posted this in the business forum too, but thought this area might garner more responses.
My daughter's daycare has pictures done every about 3-4 times per year. Thus far, neither my wife (non-photog) nor my self have been remotely impressed with the quality of the pictures for different reasons - body parts cut off, ridiculous looking background/props, so on...). After the last group of them, my wife suggested that I offer to do them once and see what happens. My daughter's teacher, who has seen my work, has also suggested the same and said many parents are not happy with the pictures right now. I spoke to the DC manager and she completely agreed that the quality has really gone down.
Before I do this, I am interested in receiving opinions and suggestions for what to expect or things that have worked well for you in doing this. I'm not viewing it as much as a money maker for me, but more as opportunity to market myself to the parents in hopes for outside business. I would want to adopt a less is more setup - low props, nothing too busy. It will have to be done inside, so natural light is out.
If willing, please share any tips or suggestions, including setups or props needed, to make this fairly easy yet high quality.
