Hi, and thanks for the replies.
I usually take around 180-200 shots for the agreed 3 final prints.
Is this about right? How many do you show your client to choose from?

I don't worry about the number of frame I'm shooting. I leave that to Sears and JC Penny. I stop when I feel I have enough to work with. The other day I had a 30 minute session and shot over one hundred frames.

How many shots?

Hi
How many shots are people taking when doing a family portrait session, say 30 mins to an hour?
Cheers

love the first shot - dramatic lighting, different perspective. Need a better pose for the second shot - very bland. Like the 3rd shot although I'd like to see more of her eyes.

Agree with Nick. I use Alien Bees by Paul C. Buff (for all my studio light, modifiers, and stands). I would also recommend C stands. Those stands really are the best.

Shooting at a ball help

I've been asked to shoot couple photos at a Valentine's ball for a local jeweler. I have alien bees and softboxes but I don't have backdrops. Any suggestions? I don't know if I have the time to get backdrops. Do I need them or would it be appropriate to sit them in a plush chair together of some sort. Any suggestions on how to make it feel romantic without being in a studio and back drops?
