Oh Lordy

I have been asked by a family friend to shoot her granddaughters senior pics and have never done anything like that. I do birds and landscapes. I have an Xsi, nifty fifty and the kit lens to do this with. Any advise? This is for free..

With the nifty fifty, proper lighting, you can do glowing portraits!

If they've seen your work and are asking for pictures I'm sure they will fine you work to be wonderful.

Also, what do you use to shoot birds with? It might work for portraits too.

Sent you a pm of a collection of pics I have put together of poses and ideas. They are mostly from the great photogs doing senior portraits that are nice enough to show their great work here on the forums. Use it if you want. I am not good enough to give advice other than have a plan ahead of time as to poses, locations, lighting, etc.

Wish I could help more.

I've used my nifty fifty to capture some great portrait-style shots. Just make sure the depth of field is not too shallow and you'll do well.

Can you send me that pm also? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
