    Thank you analogy for your very helpful tips. I will try to implement as much as you have suggested as possible. I might not have the ability to use the posterboard idea since it will only be the two of us on this little session, but if we do use the posterboard I need a little clarifying about it. I need to angle the light into the shadows to balance the light? Is this what you are saying? Also on my camera the white balance seems to be automatic so would the white sheet of paper technique be null and void? Also in sunlight should I open up the exposure or close it in or keep it pretty neutral?

    Sorry about all the questions that keep popping up like I said I am a n00b at this and I really do want to make these great for her. She is feeling kind of insecure about herself and want to take pics of her that shows how hot she really is.

    Which reminds me she is naturally a redhead so that means really fair skin…will this affect how I want to shoot her in natural light?

    I don’t take many portraits, but I do know that you want to keep faces out of the sun and use a fill flash if necessary. Just have fun, you’ll get better pics if she is at ease and not pressured to pose. 🙂

    We will be shooting in the morning on I hope will be a sunny day. So what you are saying is keep the sun to her back or side? Also as I said I am a n00b so I don’t know what a fill flash is, is that the flash on my camera or do I need another external light source?

    BTW the pressure is all on me!
