Hi Ras,
Thank you very much for the feedback. I am actually new to the whole lighting and studio lights etc but at the photography a few years.

Do you really think the dog towers over the baby in the pic? The dog is our much loved family pet so I suppose you could say he is definitely one of the family and the children love him. I didn’t think about the heated discussion you mentioned so it is good to keep that in mind. Thanks for that.
Anyone else agree with Ras’s views on photographing kids with dogs? Is it something I shouldn’t advertise?

Hey Everyone,
Thanks to you all for your replies. I’m due a new baby in March so definitely won’t be working for the next year and won’t be making any money.

Cheers ballyman. My initial post might seem like I really haven’t a clue I guess. The fact is for years I have been taking photos of my own kids as babies and otherwise lots of times and family and friends and have winged it with the use of natural light and black sheets, props etc. I really love doing this work and want to just do it properly without spending forever on Photoshop which I’m not particularly proficient in. If I’m honest, I dread weddings, formal stuff etc which I have done also with success. I want to do what I am passionate about and am not about throwing large sums of money away on a whim. I have thought about it and saved hard. I guess I have to start somewhere and am willing to get the bare minimum equipment that would start me off but don’t want to buy cheap gear only to be trying to get rid later. I have invested well in my camera and lens equipment so far so want to do likewise with my studio lights etc. I have a purpose built studio here so no point in renting a space and where I live, there are no photography studios to rent unfortunately. I’d have to buy the equipment anyway.

Ballyman thanks a mil for coming back to me. It’s a proper purpose built studio. I hope to do pet portraits and babies mostly and maybe the odd kids shoot. I have done a course or two on studio photography but I have never actually done it yet so am a bit green as to where to start.

Gosh folks. What a thread this has turned into. For the record, I am VAT Registered etc. I was trying to keep my prices low as it was for my brother’s friend so was shocked when I was cancelled after I gave the couple my prices. As I said in the first post, I have done a handful of weddings and do not work full time at photography as my children are very young. I realize with the recession that pro photographers have dropped their prices and wondered was I out of touch with my own pricing. Thanks for the earlier feedback but pity the thread has turned nasty.

Thanks Ballyman. Anyone else have any views on the price??
