Depends what you told her she was paying for. If you told her she could have everything you snapped, then yes. If you didn't then palm her off with a token disc of the best of your rejects. Unless she sat and watched you upload the days work, how is she going to know what you shot? O Also, and...

l wish these posts had a "like" button.

Either that or the doctors are really really small.

I'm soooo gutted...but not....if you know what l mean. Baby arrived early and naturally today!! Happy for them....and will be doing the newborn shoot next week.....but so disappointed l wasn't able to photograph it for them. :(

Wow....well that is why my lady has to have one! 8lb baby they reckon, and she is just 5ft tall!! For those of you who didn't think l should post such a thing on here, l hadn't actually intended to show open wounds, or scalpels at work you know. More the miracle of life, the emotion, the...

So if it goes ahead l shouldn't bother posting any shots then? ;)

Haha! I'll take special note of the last one! :thumbs: Well the parents are still to obtain permission from the hospital, but if you browse Flickr you'll see it's done a fair bit. Fingers crossed they say yes! l'm not squeamish at all...so should manage to stay upright.

Well, l've been asked to attend and photograph a c-section. :D I's a great honour to be asked to cover such a special moment, and l'm feeling more nervous than with any wedding! Has anyone here done this? Any pointers?

mine is maddyzangles-photography.com When l opened my Flickr account nearly 7 years ago, l soon wanted a name to use that would be a bit more interesting. l sat and thought about it, and analysed what my hobby (as my photography was back then) really was. l kinda decided my images were...

Well if baby cries when undressed, try getting some nice material to swaddle instead. You will need to be very, very patient. Try undressing the baby, wrapping in a blanket tight, then when he/she is sound asleep, laying on your prop. The leave it for a bit. Once you know he/she is settled...

Sounds average! l love all that stressy stuff. It keeps me on my toes, and l tend to do better. lf l'm bored it shows. l haven't done a wedding yet that was smooth from start to finish...even if the glitches were small. l tend not to clock watch either. t helps that l don't charge by the hour...

l do newborns a fair bit. Lighting....natural where possible....lens wide as possible. l do use a softbox sometimes. Props...beanbags are fab. They support well, and you can change the cover to change the look and feel. Don't use filters....you want to get detail, but with soft skin...

Yeah agreed. You want to have detail really sharp while smoothing skin without making the baby look like a doll. Try these actions. All free too. Assuming you can use them with your chosen editing prog. http://www.thecoffeeshopblog.com/p/coffeeshop-actions-and-presets.html
